New Developments in European VLBI

Ground Based Vlbi Facilities – the European and Global Vlbi Network

For a comprehensive guide to the various array characteristics, corresponding correlator capabilities, range of diverse observing modes, different proposal submission procedures, user support etc., I refer the reader to the on-line web pages highlighted above. In this paper I have chosen to focus on a sub-set of these facilities, in particular the European VLBI Network (EVN) both in stand-alone...

Some New Developments in Small Area Estimation

Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area statistics. Traditional area-specific estimators may not provide adequate precision because sample sizes in small areas are seldom large enough. This makes it necessary to employ indirect estimators based on linking models. Basic area level and unit level models have been extensiv...

New developments within the european language resources association (ELRA)

The ELRA catalogue as of April 1999 lists 95 speech resources, 47 monolingual lexica, 105 multilingual lexica, 19 written corpora and more than 275 terminological databases. In the speech area, many databases are available for machine dictation, telephone-based applications, speaker identification and verification applications, as well as several phonetic lexica, for languages such as English, ...

Some European Developments in Welding Consumables

This paper represents a selected survey of incisive research on novel welding consumables which contribute to the structural integrity of advanced engineering structures. It is evident that there are tremendous advances to be made by applying the most sophisticated instrumentation available to Materials Science, together with theory and insight based on metallurgical experience. We congratulate...
