ANDES: efficient evaluation of NOT-twig queries in relational databases

Despite a large body of work on XPath query processing in relational environment, systematic study of queries containing not-predicates have received little attention in the literature. Particularly, several xml supports of industrial-strength commercial rdbms fail to efficiently evaluate such queries. In this paper, we present an efficient and novel strategy to evaluate not -twig queries in a tree-unaware relational environment. not -twig queries are XPath queries with ancestor–descendant and parent–child axis and contain one or more not-predicates. We propose a novel Dewey-based encoding scheme called Andes (ANcestor Dewey-based Encoding Scheme), which enables us to efficiently filter out elements satisfying a not-predicate by comparing their ancestor group identifiers. In this approach, a set of elements under the same common ancestor at a specific level in the xml tree is assigned same ancestor group identifier. Based on this scheme, we propose a novel sql translation algorithm for not-twig query evaluation. Experiments carried out confirm that our proposed approach built on top of an off-the-shelf commercial rdbms significantly outperforms state-of-the-art relational and native approaches. We also explore the query plans selected by a commercial relational optimizer to evaluate our translated queries in different input cardinality. Such exploration further validates the performance benefits of Andes.     

A space and time efficient algorithm for SimRank computation

SimRank has become an important similarity measure to rank web documents based on a graph model on hyperlinks. The existing approaches for conducting SimRank computation adopt an iteration paradigm. The most efficient deterministic technique yields O(n³)O\left(n^3\right) worst-case time per iteration with the space requirement O(n²)O\left(n^2\right), where n is the number of nodes (web documents). In this paper, we propose novel optimization techniques such that each iteration takes O (min{ n ·m , n^r })O \left(\min \left\{ n \cdot m , n^r \right\}\right) time and O ( n + m )O \left( n + m \right) space, where m is the number of edges in a web-graph model and r ≤ log₂ 7. In addition, we extend the similarity transition matrix to prevent random surfers getting stuck, and devise a pruning technique to eliminate impractical similarities for each iteration. Moreover, we also develop a reordering technique combined with an over-relaxation method, not only speeding up the convergence rate of the existing techniques, but achieving I/O efficiency as well. We conduct extensive experiments on both synthetic and real data sets to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our iteration techniques.     

Modeling and controlling the mobile harbour crane system with virtual prototyping technology

Virtual simulation of the real behaviour of mobile harbour crane (MHC) without using the traditional build-and-test method is an imperative approach to the design stage that can increase the quality of the product by reducing manufacturing cost and errors. This paper introduces an engineering model that describes the mechanical behaviour of MHC, and the control design for increasing the position accuracy. Based on a concept of the MHC, a virtual mechanical model was created using SOLIDWOKS, which was then exported to the Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical System (ADAMS) environment. This model was simulated to investigate the dynamic behaviour of the MHC system. In addition, an adaptive siding mode PID controller was also developed in MATLAB/Simulink to control the crane trolley position and suppress the swing angle of the load. This co-simulation demonstrates the reliability of the mechanical and control functionalities of the developed system.     

Decay rate of critical fluctuations in steam and in dilute steam-NaCl mixtures

The decay rate of critical fluctuations in steam and in a steam-NaCl mixture has been investigated experimentally with the aid of photon correlation spectroscopy. For pure steam, the measurements have been performed along seven isochores [(¦– _c¦)/_c<0.09] as a function of the temperatureT for (T–T_t)<1 K. The results have been compared with the values predicted by the renormalization-group theory written as a modification of the classical mode coupling theory. The agreement between experiment and theory is satisfactory along the critical isochore, but larger deviations are noted for _c when approching the transition temperatureT _t. The decay rate of a 0.1% (molar) dilute mixture of NaCl in H₂O has been measured along some near-critical isochores as a function of temperature. Its behavior, which is very different from that observed for pure steam, is dicussed.Paper presented at the Tenth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 20–23, 1988, Gaithersburg, Maryland, U.S.A.     

Measurement of density of the gap states ina-Si:H by the normalization of photoconductivity

The spectra of the optical absorption coefficient in low absorption region are obtained by using a normalization procedure for the photoconductivity spectra. The results are explained in terms of the optical transition of electrons from localized states in the exponential valence band tail and in dangling bond states 1.0 eV below the conduction band edge to extended conduction band states. Then the density of the gap states below the Fermi levelE _F is obtained. From the investigation of recombination kinetics, the average density of the gap states over the range of ) and the density of the gap states above the Fermi levelE _F are obtained. These indicate that the width of the conduction band tail is smaller than that of the valence band tail.
