Design/methodology/approach： The study uses the topic modeling method to obtain an overview of the field, and employs open information extraction to further comprehend the field at a specific fact level. Findings： Several topics within the AD research field are identified, such as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus （HIV）/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome （AIDS）, which can help answer the question of how A1DS/HIV and AD are very different yet related diseases. Research limitations： Some manual data cleaning could improve the study, such as removing incorrect facts found by open information extraction. Practical implications： This study uses the literature to answer specific questions on a scientific domain, which can help domain experts find interesting and meaningful relations among entities in a similar manner, such as to discover relations between AD and AIDS/HIV. Origlnality/value： Both the overview and specific information from the literature are obtained using two distinct methods in a complementary manner. This combination is novel because previous work has only focused on one of them, and thus provides a better way to understand an important scientific field using data-driven methods.展开更多

Due to the need for faster systems in today＇s world, parallelism can be used to accelerate applications. Nowadays, parallel operations are used to solve computer problems such as sort and search, which result in a reasonable speed. Sorting is one of the most important operations in computing world. The authors always try to find the best in different areas which the premier is speedup. In this paper, the authors issued a sort with O（logn） time complexity on PRAM EREW （Parallel Random Access Machine Exclusive Read Exclusive Write）. The algorithm is designed in a manner that keeps the tradeoff between the number of processor elements in the architecture and execution time. The simulation of the algorithm proves the theoretical analysis of the algorithm. The results of this research can be utilized in developing faster embedded systems. Sorting on Centralized Diamond （SOCD） algorithm is issued on the novel Centralized Diamond architecture which takes the advantages of Single Instruction Multiple Data （SIMD） architecture. This architecture and the sort on it are intuitive and optimal.展开更多
