✦ Synopsis

A method of integrating Boolean queries with probabilistic retrieval models is proposed. Boolean queries are interpreted as specifying term dependencies that can be used to correct the document scores obtained with a basic probabilistic model. Alternative methods of obtaining dependency information, such as user-specified phrases, can also be used in this approach. The experimental results indicate that significant performance benefits can be obtained, particularly when dependencies are derived from term phrases identified in natural language queries.

In recent years, in the context of the vector space model, the view, held by many researchers, that documents, queries, terms, etc., are all elements of a common space has been challenged (Bollmann-Sdorra & Raghavan, 1993). In particular, it was noted that term independence has to be investigated in

In the CA1 area of the hippocampus, the magnitude of long-term potentiation (LTP) depends not only on the frequency of applied stimuli, but also on their number. With a slice preparation using extracellular recording in the hippocampus CA1 of a guinea pig, we investigate the magnitude of LTP induced
