Retrieval of Cirrus Properties by Sun Photometry: A New Perspective on an Old Issue
In the present work, we propose a new approach that uses the total measured irradiance to derive cirrus COT and ice particle effective diameter (Deff).

Fusion of acoustic, perceptual and production features for robust speech recognition non-stationary noise
This paper shows that fusion of multiple noise robust feature streams motivated by speech production and perception theories help to significantly improve the robustness of traditional speech recognition systems.

Growth Kinetics of the Anodic Oxide Film on Platinum under Potentiodynamic Polarization Conditions
A theory for the anodic oxidation of a metal under linear potentiodynamic conditions is derived based upon the Point Defect Model, by considering two contributions to the current; that from the metal oxidation reaction and that from capacitive charging.

Rich system combination for keyword spotting in noisy and acoustically heterogeneous audio streams
We address the problem of retrieving spoken information from noisy and heterogeneous audio archives using a rich system combination with a diverse set of noise-robust modules and audio characterization.

Activation of Heme Biosynthesis by a Small Molecule That Is Toxic to Fermenting Staphylococcus Aureus
Here, we describe the identification of a small molecule activator of HssRS that induces endogenous heme biosynthesis by perturbing central metabolism.

N-Gram Extension for Bag-of-Audio-Words
With … enhanced representation, we find the average probability of miss noticeably decreases when evaluated on TRECVID 2011 and 2012 datasets, indicating clear improvements on the multimedia event detection task.

A noise robust i-vector extractor using vector taylor series for speaker recognition
We propose a novel approach for noise-robust speaker recognition, where the model of distortions caused by additive and convolutive noises is integrated into the i-vector extraction framework.

Using multiple versions of speech input in phone recognition
This study investigates the use of multiple versions of the same speech unit in automatic phone recognition.
