This section of the encyclopedia talks about what students and teachers can contribute to online learning environment. It talks about who the average online learner is and the online relationship between the student and the teacher, and the student and their peers. Above all the author stresses that thinking differently is important to make online education work.

The authors of the article I chose “Childhood Sexual Abuse, Distress, and Alcohol-Related Moderation by Drinking to Cope” were Kathryn Z. Smith, Phillip H. Smith and Emily R. Grekin. And their hypotheses was “childhood sexual abuse would be associated with distress, but that this distress would only be associated with problem drinking among those who scored high on coping motives for drinking”. Found on page four of ten. They started with the hypothesis that distress would mediate the pathway between childhood sexual abuse and problem drinking. Also that the pathway between distress and problem drinking would be moderated by coping motives for drinking. They used path analyses to examine the moderated-mediation.

The main purpose of this article is to examine various research on the etiology of stuttering. The experimental research explored various brain circuitries involved, specifically the the basal ganglia. Furthermore, the meta-analysis discussed neuroimaging, lesion, pharmacological, and genetic studies on the neural circuitries connected to persistent developmental stuttering and acquired neurogenic stuttering.

Database search for annotated bibliography was initially attempted over Google Scholar search engine. Keywords like alcohol effects, alcohol and community, alcohol and health, and environmental wastes and health were utilized. Numerous articles came up; four articles were selected for further perusing. Selection criteria for annotated bibliography include publication date, pertinence for CAT, and New Zealand significance.

However, EBSCOhost does not provide the option to the researcher for searching related and suggested information for a certain keyword which is a crucial limitation for them as every researcher prefers to get the option of searching for related researches. The search results contain relevant information and materials but the quantity is significantly low. The one-click citation option for individual research material is missing which may be annoying to the academic researchers at certain times. The database search of ProQuest is more efficient than EBSCOhost in all these respects but it is not free from limitations. As the number of materials in the search results is relatively more, the researcher has to efficiently sort the results to find the relevant information. This is quite difficult for me or anyone too in the results page. The option of full-text view is missing in some of the materials, which is not observed in the EBSCOhost search results.

While doing some of my research, I chose to use Computer Source as my database. The main subject of the database was trends in technology. It allowed me to search trends from any time which was particularly helpful for my topic. The type of search that can be completed using this database is Boolean searching. This type of searching style came in handy because the information I was searching for involved the cyber world, so it made it easier to differentiate which aspect of the cyber world I was researching. For example, differentiating between Cyber Terrorism and Terrorism or Cyber Warfare. Computer Source lets its users search by publication date rather than by scholarship level. Computer Source also showed similarities with Academic Search Complete in that they shared similar fields. But after conducting similar searches, Computer Source provided me with more relevant information. Overall, my search results were more refined and

To detect the provenance of the news articles on the news websites on the Internet. The method proposed for detecting the provenance of news articles is Topic Detection and Tracking technique, through using Google Custom Search or Google Search API. Google Custom Search is a platform offered by Google that allows web developers to offer customized information in web search results. Also, classified and organize the queries and create customized search engines based on Google search [7-8]. Google Search API is used to provide keywords for search engine Google and get the retrieval results from Google, and the combination of these two things can help users to find the information needed to better search [9].

Text document processing plays a key role in data mining as well as web search for information retrieval. In text processing, the commonly used model is bag-of-words model [5]. In this model each document is typically represented in vector form in which each element indicates the value of the analogous feature in the document. The feature value can be selected by finding number of occurrences of a term in the document. However relative term frequency can be defined as the ratio between the term frequency and the total number of occurrences of all the terms in the document set. Frequently, the dimensionality of a document is large and the resulting vector is sparse, i.e., most of the selected feature values in the vector are zero. Such high-dimensionality and sparsity is a challenge for similarity measure and thus it is a very important operation in text processing algorithms.

Ontology contains a set of concepts and relationship between concepts, and can be applied into information retrieval to deal with user queries.

The main aim of this project is to research on the integration of “Natural Language Processing “ and information systems engineering to enhance query retrieval in natural language processing.
