Comprehensive Indexing and Relaxed Querying of Compressed XML Data (CIRCX) | Chapter 03 | Emerging Issues in Science and Technology Vol. 3

Extensible Markup Language stays at the top as a basic and an efficient way of content processing over internet. Being extensible, it give rise to innovative tag definitions unlike its counterparts with a pre-defined set of keywords. For storing such a customizable language in compressed form, compact storage structures like RFX, QUICX were proposed. As an extension, perspective shifted towards an efficient and optimized way of retrieving data from the same. CIRCX, (Comprehensive Indexing and relaxed querying of Compressed XML Data) propose an indexing approach which may be applied on wide array of datasets. The core functionality of this technique lies in removing the redundant data from the stored format. The duplicates are removed and are represented in such a way that space required for storage decreases further. Various elements of an XML document such as node and attribute are indexed so that the indexed file is used as reference from then on for query processing and not the original file. CIRCX thus, provides a comprehensive method to index compact storage structures. Thinking out-of-the-box, this work explores the area of approximate answering for Xpath queries where data is retrieved from compact storage structures and not the original XML document. The latter part i.e. data retrieval is performed by specialised query processing algorithms involving the QUICX storage structure. A significant rise in compression ratio is observed while using the CIRCX approach. Approximate answering provides prospect for developing efficient search engines in future.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...

Occipital Dermal Sinus Tract Causing Craniospinal Infection: A Review | Chapter 13 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Dermal sinus is a rare congenital condition characterized by a pathological tract connecting the skin to deeper tissues of the central nervous system, potentially leading to severe infectious complications. It arises from a failure in the separation of ectodermal layers during early gestation. Diagnosing dermal sinus tract in newborns requires a careful physical examination, focusing on midline dimples in the occipital region associated with cutaneous abnormalities like hairy nevus or hyperpigmentation. The presence of drainage, abnormal hair distribution, or localized swelling may indicate a sinus tract. Regular examination for dimples or sinuses is recommended for infants and children with recurrent meningitis or infections. Early detection is crucial to prevent severe complications like meningitis, with Staphylococcus aureus being a common causative organism. Neuroradiological studies, including computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with histopath...
