Problematic Permitting

Predicting Problematic

Spoken dialogue systems promise eecient and natural access to a large variety of information sources and services from any phone. However, current spoken dialogue systems are deecient in their strategies for preventing, identifying and repairing problems that arise in the conversation. This paper reports results on automatically training a Problematic Dialogue Predictor to predict problematic h...

An Eddy-Permitting Southern Ocean State Estimate

An eddy-permitting general circulation model of the Southern Ocean is fit by constrained least squares to a large observational dataset during 2005–06. Data used include Argo float profiles, CTD synoptic sections, Southern Elephant Seals as Oceanographic Samplers (SEaOS) instrument-mounted seal profiles, XBTs, altimetric observations [Envisat, Geosat, Jason-1, and Ocean Topography Experiment (T...

RACK permitting efficient handling of tissue cultures.

The purpose of this communication is to describe a rack which permits the simultaneous handling of 24 culture vials for purposes of plaque assays of viruses, interferon assays, cloning of cells, and other related procedures in cell culture. In this laboratory, the rack has been found to decrease significantly the time and effort required for the manipulation of moderate to large numbers of cult...
