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…

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…

System combination using auxiliary information for speaker verification
We propose a modified linear logistic regression procedure that conditions combination weights on the auxiliary information. A regularization procedure is used to control the complexity of the extended model.
