Abstract
After establishing the terminology, shows how the choice of the name of the subject of a document and the rendering of the name in the heading of the specific subject entry can be got by facet analysis based on postulates and principles. After showing that subject headings constitute an artificial language, points out that using facet analysis for subject heading does not amount to using class number. Marks out the area for an objective statistical survey of sought heading for subject entry. Calls on Council for Library Resources Incorporated to provide for this project.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to design an optimized algorithm for low-cost pedestrian navigation system (PNS) to correct the heading drift and altitude error, thus achieving high-precise pedestrian location in both two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) space.
Design/methodology/approach
A novel heading correction algorithm based on smoothing filter at the terminal of zero velocity interval (ZVI) is proposed in the paper. This algorithm adopts the magnetic sensor to calculate all the heading angles in the ZVI and then applies a smoothing filter to obtain the optimal heading angle. Furthermore, heading correction is executed at the terminal moment of ZVI. Meanwhile, an altitude correction algorithm based on step height constraint is proposed to suppress the altitude channel divergence of strapdown inertial navigation system by using the step height as the measurement of the Kalman filter.
Findings
The verification experiments were carried out in 2-D and 3-D space to evaluate the performance of the proposed pedestrian navigation algorithm. The results show that the heading drift and altitude error were well corrected. Meanwhile, the path calculated by the novel algorithm has a higher match degree with the reference trajectory, and the positioning errors of the 2-D and 3-D trajectories are both less than 0.5 per cent.
Originality/value
Besides zero velocity update, another two problems, namely, heading drift and altitude error in the PNS, are solved, which ensures the high positioning precision of pedestrian in indoor and outdoor environments.

Abstract
Purpose
Omnidirectional mobile platforms are still plagued by the problem of heading deviation. In four-Mecanum-wheel systems, this problem arises from the phenomena of dynamic imbalance and slip of the Mecanum wheels while driving. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mechanism of omnidirectional motion using Mecanum wheels, with the aim of enhancing the heading precision. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) setting control algorithm based on a radial basis function (RBF) neural network model is introduced.
Design/methodology/approach
In this study, the mechanism of omnidirectional motion using Mecanum wheels is analyzed, with the aim of enhancing the heading precision. A PID setting control algorithm based on an RBF neural network model is introduced. The algorithm is based on a kinematics model for an omnidirectional mobile platform and corrects the driving heading in real time. In this algorithm, the neural network RBF NN2 is used for identifying the state of the system, calculating the Jacobian information of the system and transmitting information to the neural network RBF NN1.
Findings
The network RBF NN1 calculates the deviations ?Kp, ?Ki and ?Kd to regulate the three coefficients Kp, Ki and Kd of the heading angle PID controller. This corrects the driving heading in real time, resolving the problems of low heading precision and unstable driving. The experimental data indicate that, for a externally imposed deviation in the heading angle of between 34º and ∼38°, the correction time for an omnidirectional mobile platform applying the algorithm during longitudinal driving is reduced by 1.4 s compared with the traditional PID control algorithm, while the overshoot angle is reduced by 7.4°; for lateral driving, the correction time is reduced by 1.4 s and the overshoot angle is reduced by 4.2°.

Abstract
The user interface, in broad terms, is the medium through which the user and the information come together. The types of searches a public access catalog (PAC) can perform are defined by the indexing strategy and retrieval software. The way the user's interest is communicated to the retrieval software and the way the results are communicated to the user is, by a more narrow definition, the interface software. Both the kinds of searches that can be performed by a variety of CD‐ROM PACs and how their workstations are used to accomplish the searches are considered.
