narrative : Polish history is closely related to Napoléon I of France. But also, Napoléon I knew very well some Polish people (among which Marie Laczynska and the Prince Poniatowski). I want to know about the big History (how Napoléon had influence on the history of Poland) and the "small" history (Napoléon mistress, marshals, etc.). My aim is simply to know better the ins and outs of the question, and to understand how much personal relationships of Napoleon influenced his behaviour as a head of state. Relevant elements should make me able to give a summary of this subject.

narrative : The new aircraft A380 produced at Toulouse in France is actually an important event in the aeronautic history of France and more particularly of Toulouse. Since I am living in Toulouse, I am interesting in the future of this special giant aircraft. The future success of this aircraft depends on the number of planes ordered by the air companies all over the world. For my own personal interest, I would like to evaluate the possible success of the A380 listing the companies that ordered yet planes including the number of ordered planes.

I think I already know some of them (like for example the white dress, the veil or traditional gifts), but I do not know their real signification. It would also be great to know some others traditions. They could be from all over the world and can be about (this is not an exhaustive list) how the bride and the groom should be dressed, what to listen or say during the church wedding, what to eat during the reception, what are the traditional gifts,... The aim of this search is to respect most of the traditions, even if they are not originally from France. There is however a restriction concerning the religious wedding, since I will not change my religion (my wedding will be a Christian one). To be relevant, elements should be about traditions concerning the D day of wedding. Pre-wedding customs like the engagement ring or how to do invitations and post-wedding customs like honeymoon of wedding anniversary are not relevant.

A colleague of mine has recommended that I read about the Novikov self-consistency principle (also known as the Novikov self-consistency conjecture), which is a principle developed by Dr. Igor Dmitrievich Novikov in the mid-1980s to solve the problem of paradoxes in time travel. I want to find documents or document components that explain the Novikov self-consistency principle. I expect most comprehensive answers to represent full articles (or in some cases sections of articles), since paragraphs that are contained by an article would very likely be too small to represent meaningful answers. Relevant articles should provide a detailed description of Novikov self-consistency principle: what does it mean, where could the principle be applied, and what are the implications of this principle on the possibility of time travel. Articles that show examples of applications of this principle (such as the time loop logic application), or discuss about movies that utilise this principle in their core idea (such as Twelve Monkeys), are also relevant. Articles that only discuss about the academic and personal life of Dr. Igor Dmitrievich Novikov and mention his publications, or discuss about other scientists whose surname is also Novikov, are not relevant.

I would like to actively participate in this debate, and I am currently in the process of writing a short scientific paper that will convey my thoughts about this matter.

I want to find documents or document components, most probably sections, that explain the cause of global warming and its effects. To be relevant, the document component should extensively discuss about either or both of the following: the possible causes of global warming, such as man-made increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, solar activity, and volcanic emissions; and the possible effects of global warming, such as sea level rise, impacts on agriculture, reductions in the ozone layer, increased extreme weather, and the spread of various diseases.

description : What happend to the people who attended the infamous Sex Pistols concert in Manchester in the seventies. This gig is often marked as the start of the Manchester music scene.
narrative : I'm writing a report on the Manchester music scene. I remember from the feature film '24 hour party' people' that there was an infamous Sex Pistols concert sometime in the mid seventies with only just over fourty people in the audience. Many of these people have started bands, record labels or clubs and become important names in the Manchester music scene. Now I want to find out who these people were and what they did afterwards. Ideal results would document the biography of one of these persons and mention his/her attendence at the specific gig. Documents only mentioning a persons attendence would also be relevant as these would allow me to search for more information on the person. However, documents discussing a person's life without acknowledging the attendance at the Sex Pistols concert are not considered relevant (even if the person in question did attend the gig). Also documents discussing the concert without mentioning any of the people in the audience are not relevant. Neither are documents discussing a second Sex Pistols concert in Manchester, a month later with a much larger crowd.

castitle : //article[about(.,+unrealscript language api tutorial)]
description : Locate articles on the programming language UnrealScript. Prefer those that can tell me about its paradigm and api, and maybe even point me to some tutorials.
narrative : I've been playing the classic first-person shooter game Unreal Tournament by Epic Games for several years now and am the leader of a clan of competitive players. I've noticed how many extensions to/modifications of the game are availalable on the internet. For instance new/altered weaponry, additional game modes/rules, map voting systems, etc. All of these are developed by third parties, mostly private persons that are enthusiastic players themselves. From various documentation of these extensions, I've learned that they were written in a domain specific programming language called UnrealScript. I would like to contribute actively to the Unreal Tournament community myself. I have some ideas for some plugins for the game that would make administrating Unreal Tournament game servers a lot easier. I've been programming for many years in general purpose object oriented programming languages like C++ and Java, now I want to learn more about UnrealScript to see if I can expect to be able to pick up the language and accomplish implementing my ideas for an administration tool within a reasonable amount of time. Since all I know about the language is its name, anything that can tell me about its paradigm, structure, similarity to other languages that I may know is relevant. From these results I hope to pursue more detailed information (external), such as tutorials and API references.

description : I am looking for example figures of state machines of either the Moore or the Mealy variant.
narrative : I am a software developer considering using a particular commercial framework for developing software using a virtual finite state machine approach. Upon reading the material on the framework developer's site, I note that they make a distinction between two different types of state machine models designated Moore and Mealy. Their software only properly supports specification of Mealy-type FSMs. They explain the distinction briefly but provide no visual examples of how they are modelled. To be sure I understand the difference, I'd like to see a couple of illustrations of both types. They don't have to model the same system, I just have to see a couple of models to verify my understanding, as this may have an important impact on the applicability of the framework to the project at hand. I am specifically searching for document fragments containing illustrations, not mere article text. I expect to be able to express this structural constraint in NEXI.

description : Find information about proprietary implementation of wireless security protocols
narrative : As a graduate student who is in the middle stage of graduate study, I am collecting materials to prepare for my thesis work. Wireless security is my chosen field and protocols play a crucial role in providing secured communication. Basically, all standardized protocols are open for public review. However, vendor companies usually develop their own proprietary implementations of these protocols. When doing so, they also circulate white papers to claim the performance of their solutions. Sometimes, they generously reveal ad-hoc technical details. For the literature review purpose, I would like to collect information about the available protocols of wireless security. Also, to avoid reinvent the wheel, I would like to know what has been done so far in field, what is claimed to be achieved and what are the remaining issues. The Wikipedia collection is an idea starting mine of information as this collection provides thorough surveys about all topics and refers readers to related links. I pay special attention to the links to vendor companies for the reasons given above. To be relevant, an element of an article should list some wireless security protocols with brief descriptions. The external links at the end of article should direct readers to at least one company/academic organization who is developing their own implementation of one of these protocols. Alternatively, the link can point to further detailed description of the wireless security protocol. The position of the link is flexible, i.e. it can appear anywhere inside the content of the article. Information about hardware implementation of protocols is not relevant. Information about the historical development of protocols is considered relevant only if the external link points to at least one active organization that is working on this protocol.
