We developed several systems to help users determine the trustworthiness of Web search results. In this paper, first, we describe the extraction of Web knowledge from Web search engine. Extracted Web knowledge is useful not only for evaluation (quality, trustworthiness etc.) of search results, but also for improving conventional Web search, such as supporting user's recall of vocabulary (query keywords) and re-ranking of search results. The proposed extraction mechanism is based on the ideas of the usage of the \"structural term cooccurrence relationships\" and \"aggregating social annotation information\", which are obtained by accessing to conventional Web search engines. We also describe our service development platform for extracting knowledge from Web, which wraps accesses to Web search engines as virtual relational database tables.","PeriodicalId":443068,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Informatics Education and Research for Knowledge-Circulating Society (icks 2008)","volume":"1869 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121179063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This indicates that mammals have thermoregulatory system to keep core temperature. On the other hand, when 10% menthol was applied to the skin, core temperature was increased by 1.0-2.0degC from normal level. This suggests that peripheral thermoregulatory system was activated by TRPM8 in skin. When adenosine monophosphate (AMP) was intraperitoneally injected, core temperature was decreased toward ambient temperature. This suggests that thermoregulatory system to keep core temperature around normal level was cut off by AMP. In addition, because shivering was not elicited, TRPM8-mediated thermoregulatory system was also blocked by AMP.","PeriodicalId":443068,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Informatics Education and Research for Knowledge-Circulating Society (icks 2008)","volume":"33 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116505676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, it shows high scalability even on a PC cluster, distributed memory architecture.
