Speaker Adaptation of Language and Prosodic Models for Automatic Dialog Act Segmentation of Speech
This study explores speaker-specific modeling for the task of automatic segmentation of speech into dialog acts (DAs), using a linear combination of speaker-dependent and speaker-independent language and prosodic models.

Global Reemergence of Tuberculosis: Are Host Defense Peptides an Option to Ameliorate Disease Burden?
Intermittent drug therapy due to noncompliance or poor delivery of therapy promotes the emergence of bacterial strains showing resistance to multiple drugs and the rise of extremely drug-resistant strains.

Daytime Sleepiness, Psychomotor Performance, Waking Eeg Spectra and Evoked Potentials in Women with Severe Premenstrual Syndrome
We assessed daytime sleepiness using objective and subjective measures in women with severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS) compared with women without significant premenstrual symptoms.

Across-phone variability and diagonal term in joint factor analysis for speaker recognition
We investigate usefulness of across-phone variability for speaker recognition in a joint factor analysis (JFA) framework. We estimate the variability as across-phone covariance within a conversation side averaged over all…

A comparison of approaches for modeling prosodic features in speaker recognition
In this work, we study the two modeling techniques for the simpler set of features. We show that, for these features, a combination of JFA systems for different sequence lengths…

Design of Short Linear Peptides That Show Hydrogen Bonding Constraints in Water
Using a combination of an aromatic amino acid, a homoserine side chain, and a d-amino acid, a series of linear tetrapeptides were designed that adopt an “Hse turn” in water.

Design Pattern On Model Use In Interdependence Among Living Systems (Large-Scale Assessment Technical Report 13)
The report outlines the key elements of the design pattern, describes the design pattern development process, and illustrates with examples how the design pattern supports storyboard and item design for…

Inclined Dislocation-Pair Relaxation Mechanism in Homoepitaxial Green GaInN/GaN Light-Emitting Diodes
The creation of symmetrical pairs of inclined dislocations was observed in the GaInN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) of c-axis grown green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on low-defect density bulk GaN substrate, but not…

From documents to tasks: deriving user tasks from document usage patterns
In order to reduce the necessary amount of training, this paper proposes a new approach for automatically estimating a user's tasks from document interactions in an unsupervised manner.
