NEONICOTINOID EVALUATION, 2003

NIST 2003 Language Recognition Evaluation

The 2003 NIST Language Recognition Evaluation was very similar to the last such NIST evaluation in 1996. It was intended to establish a new baseline of current performance capability for language recognition of conversational telephone speech and to lay the groundwork for further research efforts in the field. The primary evaluation data consisted of excerpts from conversations in twelve langua...

MIRACLE Evaluation of Results for ImageCLEF 2003

ImageCLEF is a new pilot experiment introduced in CLEF 2003. It is devoted to the cross language retrieval of images using textual descriptions related to images contents. This paper presents MIRACLE research team experiments and results obtained for this track.

The WCL-1 System in the 2003 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation and 2003 NFI/TNO Forensic Speaker Recognition Evaluation

In the present work we discuss the results, which our speaker verification system, WCL-1, obtained in the 2003 NFI/TNO Forensic Speaker Recognition Evaluation. These results, together with the ones obtained in the 2003 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation, give opportunity for in depth analysis of the various aspects of real-world application of the speaker recognition technology. Based on the d...

Evaluation of Three Neonicotinoid Insecticides Against the Common Pistachio Psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae, and Its Natural Enemies

The common pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is a key pest in pistachio orchards in Iran. Chemical control is a common method to manage this pest. Compatibility between natural enemies and pesticides is a primary concern in programs of integrated pest management of the psyllid pest. In this research, susceptibility of fifth instar nymphs of A...
