An appreciation of the German context, however, is still lacking - a gap in the knowledge that the present article seeks to fill. Providing a critical interpretation of the evolution of t...
متن کاملEntangled histories: Climate science and nuclear weapons research
Climate science and nuclear weapons testing have a long and surprisingly intimate relationship. The global networks that monitored the Fukushima radiation plume and forecasted its movement are the direct descendants of systems and computer models developed to trace fallout from weapons tests. Tracing radioactive carbon as it cycles through the atmosphere, the oceans, and the biosphere has been ...
متن کاملMultiplexing Prisms for Field Expansion.
PURPOSE Prisms used for field expansion are limited by the optical scotoma at a prism apex (apical scotoma). For a patient with two functioning eyes, fitting prisms unilaterally allows the other eye to compensate for the apical scotoma. A monocular patient's field loss cannot be expanded with a conventional or Fresnel prism because of the apical scotoma. A newly invented optical device, the mul...
متن کاملA Baseline Speech Recognition System for Levantine Colloquial Arabic
The Arabic language is characterized by the existence of many different colloquial varieties that significantly differ from the standard Arabic form.

A fully continuous context dependent acoustic model was trained using 50 hours of speech from the BBN DARPA Babylon corpus. Pronunciation...
