Collective solitude and social networks in world of warcraft
We show that these social networks are often sparse and that most players spend time in the game experiencing a form of collective solitude: they play surrounded by, but not…

Class identification of pathogens based on native fluorescence spectroscopy on-a-chip
Our compact, low-cost pathogen detection platform combines a fluidic channel with a chip-size, distributed spectrometer that is optimized for recording fluorescence spectra from moving analytes or particles as they traverse…

Open-vocabulary spoken term detection using graphone-based hybrid recognition systems
We address the problem of retrieving out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words/queries from audio archives for spoken term detection (STD) task. In this work, we employ hybrid recognition systems which contain both words…

Metallothionein Induction By Hypoxia Involves Cooperative Interactions Between Metal-Responsive Transcription Factor-1 and Hypoxia-Inducible Transcription Factor-1 Alpha
Here, we provide evidence that the protumorigenic hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1α (HIF-1α) is essential for induction of MT-1 by hypoxia, but not zinc.

Name-aware Speech Recognition for Interactive Question Answering
In this work we show how interactivity in a voice-enabled question answering application may improve speech recognition. We allow the user to provide a target named entity before asking the…
