Automatic generation and pruning of phonetic mispronunciations to support computer-aided pronunciation training (2008)

This paper presents a mispronunciation detection system which uses automatic speech recognition to support computer-aided pronunciation training (CAPT). Our methodology extends a model pronunciation lexicon with possible phonetic mispronunciations that may appear in learners’ speech. Generation of these pronunciation variants was previously achieved by means of phone-tophone mapping rules derived from a cross-language phonological comparison between the primary language (L1, Cantonese) and secondary language (L2, American English). This rule-based generation process results in many implausible candidates of mispronunciation. We present a methodology that applies Viterbi decoding on learners’ speech using an HMM-based recognizer and the fully extended pronunciation dictionary. Word boundaries are thus identified and all pronunciation variants are scored and ranked based on Viterbi scores. Pruning is applied to keep the N-best pronunciation variants which are deemed plausible candidates for mispronunciation detection. Experiments based on the speech recordings from 21 Cantonese learners of English shows that the agreement between automatic mispronunciation detection and human judges is over 86%.
The miniaturization technologies: past, present, and future (1995)

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), micro systems technologies (MST, primarily in Europe) and micromanufacturing have become synonymous with the design, development, and manufacture of very small devices and systems. This paper overviews the history of the major technologies that are utilized in this field. After this brief historical overview of the technologies, a short description of MEMS technologies is presented. The status of the MEMS effort worldwide is reviewed with emphasis on the United States, Japan, and the European Community with particular emphasis placed on Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The future for the technology along with technology transfer and management is discussed from the standpoint of market pull. Bulk and surface micromachining of silicon, X-ray micromachining using the LIGA process, and the complementary processes such as laser and focused ion beam micromachining are reviewed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Adenosine regulates the respiratory burst of cytokine-triggered human neutrophils adherent to biologic surfaces. (1989)

The effect of adenosine on the respiratory burst was investigated using human neutrophils adherent to serum-coated surfaces. Adenosine caused complete suppression of the respiratory burst elicited by TNF-alpha, FMLP, or CSF for granulocytes; partial suppression of the response to CSF for granulocytes/macrophages, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, or uncoated polystyrene surfaces; and no suppression of the response to PMA. In most experiments, 4.7 x 10(-7) M and 2.5 x 10(-8) M adenosine caused 50% suppression of H2O2 release in response to TNF-alpha and FMLP, respectively, and 10 microM caused 100% suppression. Preexposure of neutrophils to ADP blocked the inhibitory effect of adenosine. With adherent neutrophils, there is a prolonged lag period in the onset of the respiratory burst in response to cytokines. Adenosine was fully suppressive if its addition was delayed past the first third of this lag period, or if it was removed during the last third of the lag period. A 10-min pulse with adenosine was most inhibitory when delivered in the middle third of the lag period. Dihydrocytochalasin B abolished the suppressive effect of adenosine on H2O2 release in response to FMLP. Thus adenosine, at concentrations found in human plasma, is a potent but selective inhibitor of the respiratory burst of adherent human neutrophils in response to physiologic, soluble stimuli, and ADP is a potentially physiologic counter-suppressant. Adenosine appears to exert most of its effect during a discrete interval within the lag period before onset of the respiratory burst, and may affect the coupling of agonist receptors to the cytoskeleton.
Generating a canonical prefix encoding (1964)

Computer programs for generating a minimum-redundancy exhaustive prefix encoding are described. One program generates a Huffman frequency tree, another determines the structure functions of an encoding, and a third program assigns codes.
The 26S proteasome is a multifaceted target for anti-cancer therapies (2015)

Proteasomes play a critical role in the fate of proteins that are involved in major cellular processes, including signal transduction, gene expression, cell cycle, replication, differentiation, immune response, cellular response to stress, etc. In contrast to non-specific degradation by lysosomes, proteasomes are highly selective and destroy only the proteins that are covalently labelled with small proteins, called ubiquitins. Importantly, many diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancers, are intimately connected to the activity of proteasomes making them an important pharmacological target. Currently, the vast majority of inhibitors are aimed at blunting the proteolytic activities of proteasomes. However, recent achievements in solving structures of proteasomes at very high resolution provided opportunities to design new classes of small molecules that target other physiologically-important enzymatic activities of proteasomes, including the de-ubiquitinating one. This review attempts to catalog the information available to date about novel classes of proteasome inhibitors that may have important pharmacological ramifications.
<i>Arc</i>6, an extreme chloroplast division mutant of <i>Arabidopsis</i> also alters proplastid proliferation and morphology in shoot and root apices (1995)

The arc6 (accumulation and replication of chloroplasts) mutant of Arabidopsis has only two greatly enlarged chloroplasts per mature leaf mesophyll cell compared with ninety chloroplasts per cell in the wild type. The mutation is a single nuclear gene and the plant phenotype is normal. Shoot and root apical meristems of arc6 plants have been examined to determine how early during plastid development the mutant arc6 phenotype can be recognised. In the cells of the arc6 apical meristem there are only two proplastids, which are larger than wild type with a highly variable morphology. In the cells of the leaf primordia where differentiation of proplastids to chloroplasts occurs arc6 plastids are larger and at a more advanced developmental stage than wild-type plastids. In arc6 root cells statoliths and other plastids also show grossly abnormal morphology and the statoliths are greatly increased in size. During arc6 stomatal guard cell development the perturbation in proplastid population dynamics affects plastid segregation and 30% of stomata lack plastids in one or both guard cells. Our evidence would suggest that ARC6 is expressed throughout the vegetative cells of the Arabidopsis seedling with major effects on both the proplastid phenotype and the proplastid population. ARC6 is the first gene to be identified in Arabidopsis which has a global effect on plastid development in cells arising from both the shoot and root meristems, and is of major importance in the nuclear control of plastid differentiation in higher plants.
Optical pulse generation with high repetition rate by sinusoidally-driven InGaAs/InAIAs multiquantum well modulator (1993)

A 20 GHz optical pulse train was generated by a sinusoidally-driven InGaAs/InAlAs multiquantum well intensity modulator operating at low voltages (from –2 to –3 V DC bias with a 3.2 V peak-to-peak RF signal). An approximately transform-limited optical pulse train width of 8ps and a spectral width of 40 GHz were obtained.
The OpenMP Implementation of NAS Parallel Benchmarks and its Performance (2013)

As the new ccNUMA architecture became popular in recent years, parallel programming with compiler directives on these machines has evolved to accommodate new needs. In this study, we examine the effectiveness of OpenMP directives for parallelizing the NAS Parallel Benchmarks. Implementation details will be discussed and performance will be compared with the MPI implementation. We have demonstrated that OpenMP can achieve very good results for parallelization on a shared memory system, but effective use of memory and cache is very important.
Applying Model Management to Classical Meta Data Problems (2003)

Model management is a new approach to meta data management that offers a higher level programming interface than current techniques. The main abstractions are models (e.g., schemas, interface definitions) and mappings between models. It treats these abstractions as bulk objects and offers such operators as Match, Merge, Diff, Compose, Apply, and ModelGen. This paper extends earlier treatments of these operators and applies them to three classical meta data management problems: schema integration, schema evolution, and round-trip engineering.

Optical Correlator for Face Recognition Using Collinear Holographic System (2006)

We have constructed an optical correlator for fast face recognition. Recognition rate can be markedly improved, if reference images are optically recorded and can be accessed directly without converting them to digital signals. In addition, a large capacity of optical storage allows us to increase the size of the reference database. We propose a new optical correlator that integrates the optical correlation technology used in our face recognition system and collinear holography. From preliminary correlation experiments using the collinear optical set-up, we achieved excellent performance of high correlation peaks and low error rates. We expect an optical correlation of 10 µs/frame, i.e., 100,000 face/s when applied to face recognition. This system can also be applied to various image searches.
Mid- and Late-Life Diabetes in Relation to the Risk of Dementia (2008)

Diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia. The risk is stronger when diabetes occurs at mid-life than in late life. Genetic and early-life environmental factors might contribute to the late-life diabetes-dementia association but could not account for the mid-life diabetes-dementia association.
Word sense disambiguation using optimised combinations of knowledge sources (1998)

Word sense disambiguation algorithms, with few exceptions, have made use of only one lexical knowledge source. We describe a system which performs word sense disambiguation on all content words in free text by combining different knowledge sources: semantic preferences, dictionary definitions and subject/domain codes along with part-of-speech tags, optimised by means of a learning algorithm. We also describe the creation of a new sense tagged corpus by combining existing resources. Tested accuracy of our approach on this corpus exceeds 92%, demonstrating the viability of all-word disambiguation rather than restricting oneself to a small sample.
Alkali decomposition of poly(ethylene terephthalate) with sodium hydroxide in nonaqueous ethylene glycol: A study on recycling of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol (1997)

Pellets of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET; 0.48–1.92 g) were heated in anhydrous ethylene glycol (EG; 5 mL) with 2-equivs of NaOH at 150°C for 80 min or 180°C for 15 min to convert them quantitatively to disodium terephthalate (Na2-TPA) and EG. The disodium salt was precipitated quantitatively in pure state from the EG solution and separated readily. The other product EG, being the same component to the solvent, remains in the solution and can be obtained after distillation as a part of the solvent. The rate of decomposition was significantly accelerated by the addition of ethereal solvents to EG, such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and dimethoxyethane. The reaction system is simple; no water and no extra reagent other than NaOH and EG are used. A few recycling systems of PET can be designed on the basis of the present alkali decomposition reaction. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 63: 595–601, 1997
Method for cisterna magna perfusion of synthetic cerebrospinal fluid in the awake goat (1983)

We developed a method to produce stable alterations in the ionic composition of the medullary chemoreceptor environment. A double-lumen catheter system (Hustead epidural needle and epidural catheter) was placed through a plastic cisternal guide tube into the cisterna magna of awake goats. A push-pull perfusion system using a modified infusion pump delivered matched cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) perfusate inflow and outflow of 3.1 ml/min. Ventilation changed within 15 min of the initiation of perfusion and reached steady state within 45-65 min. Steady-state ventilatory responses could be maintained for up to 240 min and were readily reversed in response to a change in [HCO-3]. Perfusions with normal mock CSF ( [HCO-3] = 23 meq/l) caused no change from nonperfused values. Over the range of CSF perfusate [HCO-3] used (13.5-34.4 meq/l), the gain of the steady-state ventilatory response averaged 0.6 Torr X meq-1 X l. [3H]inulin and [HCO-3] were equal in inflow and outflow by 20-30 min of perfusion indicating complete mixing of bulk CSF in the cistern. Anatomic study after methylene blue dye perfusion showed dye distribution to subarachnoid spaces of midbrain, cervical cord, cerebellum, medulla, and most of the cortex but not to any ventricles. This perfusion technique produces prolonged, stable, reproducible, and repeatable changes in the medullary chemoreceptor ionic environment of awake goats, is relatively atraumatic, and permits high flow through the cisternal subarachnoid space.
Radiochemical micro assays for the determination of choline acetyltransferase and acetylcholinesterase activities (1969)

1. The methods for the assay of choline acetyltransferase were based on the reaction between labelled acetyl-CoA and unlabelled choline to give labelled acetylcholine. 2. Both synthetic acetyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA formed from sodium [1-(14)C]acetate or sodium [(3)H]acetate by incubation with CoA, ATP, Mg(2+) and extract from acetone-dried pigeon liver were used. 3. [1-(14)C]Acetylcholine was isolated by extraction with ketonic sodium tetraphenylboron. 4. [(3)H]Acetylcholine was precipitated with sodium tetraphenylboron to remove a ketone-soluble contaminant in sodium [(3)H]acetate and then extracted with ketonic sodium tetraphenylboron. 5. The values of choline acetyltransferase activity obtained in the presence of sodium cyanide or EDTA and synthetic acetyl-CoA were similar to those obtained with acetyl-CoA synthesized in situ. 6. The assay of acetylcholinesterase was based on the formation of labelled acetate from labelled acetylcholine. The labelled acetylcholine could be quantitatively removed from the acetate by extraction with ketonic sodium tetraphenylboron. 7. The methods were tested with samples from central and peripheral nervous tissues and purified enzymes. 8. The blank values for choline acetyltransferase and acetylcholinesterase corresponded to the activities in 20ng. and 5ng. of brain tissue respectively.
A 91.2dB SNDR 66.2fJ/conv. dynamic amplifier based 24kHz ΔΣ modulator (2016)

A discrete time single loop 2nd order 5-bit ΔΣ modulator is implemented in 65nm CMOS for digital audio and sensor applications. We propose a power efficient integrator based on periodical-reset dynamic amplifier without static current consumption. A passive inter-stage sampling method is proposed which prevents active buffer. A 3-D capacitance layout implementation method is employed to saving the chip area. The prototype modulator has 91.2 dB peak SNDR in 24 kHz and consumes only 94μW from a 1-V supply, achieving a FOM of 66.2fJ/conv. The active core area is only 0.11mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> .
TLR7-dependent and FcγR-independent production of type I interferon in experimental mouse lupus (2008)

Increased type I interferon (IFN-I) production and IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) expression are linked to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although the mechanisms responsible for dysregulated IFN-I production in SLE remain unclear, autoantibody-mediated uptake of endogenous nucleic acids is thought to play a role. 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (TMPD; also known as pristane) induces a lupus-like disease in mice characterized by immune complex nephritis with autoantibodies to DNA and ribonucleoproteins. We recently reported that TMPD also causes increased ISG expression and that the development of the lupus is completely dependent on IFN-I signaling (Nacionales, D.C., K.M. Kelly-Scumpia, P.Y. Lee, J.S. Weinstein, R. Lyons, E. Sobel, M. Satoh, and W.H. Reeves. 2007. Arthritis Rheum. 56:3770-3783). We show that TMPD elicits IFN-I production, monocyte recruitment, and autoantibody production exclusively through a Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7- and myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)-dependent pathway. In vitro studies revealed that TMPD augments the effect of TLR7 ligands but does not directly activate TLR7 itself. The effects of TMPD were amplified by the Y-linked autoimmune acceleration cluster, which carries a duplication of the TLR7 gene. In contrast, deficiency of Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs) did not affect the production of IFN-I. Collectively, the data demonstrate that TMPD-stimulated IFN-I production requires TLR7/MyD88 signaling and is independent of autoantibody-mediated uptake of ribonucleoproteins by FcgammaRs.

Intravenous lidocaine for the treatment of intractable pain of adiposis dolorosa. (1982)

Adiposis dolorosa (Dercum's disease) is a syndrome of painful adipose tissue which occurs most often in post-menopausal women and is associated with obesity, asthenia, and emotional disturbances. The etiology is uncertain, but is probably multifactorial. Numerous treatments to relieve the pain have generally been unsuccessful. A patient with adiposis dolorosa was treated with intravenous infusions of lidocaine over a two-year period. Relief from pain lasted from two to 12 months after each infusion. A single-blind placebo infusion did not relieve the pain. Lidocaine infusions did not relieve the pain of diabetic neuropathy or of angina in this patient. The mechanism of relief of pain of adiposis dolorosa by lidocaine is uncertain, but previously reported central effects of lidocaine suggest that alterations in the central nervous system may be responsible.
STUDIES ON AERIAL OXIDATION OF COAL WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE DISTRIBUTION OF OXYGEN AND CARBON IN COAL AND ITS OXIDATION PRODUCTS. (1942)

Bituminous coking coal samples have been subjected to aerial oxidation at 150° for different periods of time and quantitative distribution of carbon has been investigated in the oxidation products by estimating oxygen in relative groups \(e.g.\), OH, CO, COOH.
Generation of 15 nJ pulses from a highly efficient, low-cost multipass-cavity Cr^3+:LiCAF laser (2009)

We describe the generation of enhanced pulse energies using a multipass-cavity (MPC) Cr(3)+:LiCAF laser, pumped by inexpensive, single spatial mode laser diodes. A semiconductor saturable absorber was used for stable mode-locked operation. The MPC reduced the pulse repetition rate to the approximately 10 MHz level, scaling pulse energies and intensities. With only 540 mW of absorbed pump power, 98 fs pulses with energies of 9.9 nJ and peak powers of approximately 101 kW, corresponding to 95 mW of average power at a repetition rate of 9.58 MHz, were generated. By increasing the intracavity negative dispersion, 310 fs pulses with energies of 15.2 nJ and peak powers of approximately 49 kW, corresponding to 160 mW of average power at 10.51 MHz repletion rate, were also generated. These results demonstrate that low-cost MPC Cr(3+)-doped colquiriite lasers can generate pulse energies and intensities comparable to more expensive Ti:sapphire lasers.
Governing Typologies (2014)

Abstract Military and colonial officials maintained a kaleidoscopic view of southern Algerian Jews in the decades after France's conquest of the Sahara. As they shaped law and policy, these officials borrowed freely from centuries-old tropes about Jews that were European in inspiration. They recycled military, colonial, and ethnographic writing about northern Algerian Jewry that had been penned decades earlier, in the aftermath of the French conquest of the Tell. They read events in the Mzab through global politics, including the unfolding Dreyfus affair and the wave of anti-Semitism that was sweeping France and Algeria. Finally, they pieced together an impressionistic sense of facts on the ground, occasionally eliding issues about which they had little knowledge, such as the workings of Jewish law or the nuances of Muslim-Jewish relations in the region. When it came to the shaping of colonial policy in French North Africa, improvisational borrowing of this kind was not uncommon. In this instance, however, the dynamic had a specific catalyst. Having resisted applying to southern Algerian Jews the mission civilisatrice [civilizing mission] that defined colonial policy toward Jews in Algeria's north, French officials drew upon a hodge-podge of cultural and economic typologies to provide conceptual validation for their policies.
