work are offered. 2. RELATED WORK We base our work on automatic query expansion, a technique widely used in information retrieval systems that is designed for dealing with the fundamental issue of word mismatch in information retrieval. Among a number of approaches to expansion, techniques that analyze the corpus to discover word relationships (global techniques) and those that analyze documents retrieved by the initial query (local feedback) has drawn much attention (Xu, 1996). As far as the tool

inequality (relative poverty). According to the World Bank, over the last two decades, inequality has actually risen in over half of the world’s countries. Specifically, the increase in inequality was quite sharp in the former Soviet bloc, where the number of people living in poverty jumped from 15 million in 1989 to over 150 million in the late 90s. China’s fabulous growth rate cannot mask the sharp increases in that country’s inequality in recent years. In India, where historically there had been

Engineers should understand the rationale underlying a standard. Review standards and their usage regularly. Standards can quickly become outdated and this reduces their credibility amongst practitioners. Detailed standards should have associated tool support. Excessive clerical work is

Indeed from the top to the bottom of the organization, each employee sought to cut the costs down, thanks to number management and strict discipline. Nevertheless, he demanded discipline from his employees, but even more discipline from himself. For more than three decades he got up at 3:30 in the morning and did exercises. At the annual shareholder meetings he

then presented experiences with 10 agile methods, and compared them with respect to the development phases they support and developer competence levels they require. The authors concluded that only the Dynamic Systems Development Method and the Rational Unified Process cover all development phases fully, while Scrum mainly covers aspects related to project management. They reported anecdotal evidence that agile methods are “effective and suitable for many situations and environments,” but stated

mysterious, distant forces played no significant role. For them, the criminal was a responsible, normal man. Their point of view contrasted with the determinists’ : On the one hand the moralists thought that the criminal was a normal, intelligent and rational individual who broke the law for financial gain. On the other hand, the determinists thought that lawbreakers were monstruously different with a bad brain chemistry and defective machines. The dangerous criminal, according to Louis E Bisch was

The number of foreign arrivals increased from just more than 3 million in 1993 to more than 9,5 million in 2008. Of the 9,5 million, 7,4 million are from Africa and more recent data indicates that some 1,7 million are same-day visitors. Research indicates that

necessary but complex ―beasts.‖ They exist for the simple reason that groups of people can accomplish more than individuals working alone. At the same time, there is complexity in such collective social action, and organizational life is often marked by a number of recurring and difficult problems. While there is some consensus about the problems of participating in modern organizations (the possibility of worker frustration and alienation in large systems; the difficulties in utilizing the human resources
