The direct droplet deposition bumping process can potentially produce uniform-sized bumps more economically than the…

Effective document retrieval using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in Information Retrieval. Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in ontologies as an artifact for human knowledge representation and a critical component…
