Spectrographic Observations of Spica at Potsdam (A. N. 2995)

Dev120469 2981..2995

Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is a multifunctional zinc-finger-containing transcription factor that plays crucial roles in numerous biological processes by selectively activating or repressing transcription, depending upon promoter contextual differences and specific protein interactions. In mice, Yy1 null mutants die early in gestation whereas Yy1 hypomorphs die at birth from lung defects. We studied how t...

The Potsdam NLG systems at the GIVE-2.5 Challenge

We present the Potsdam natural language generation systems P1 and P2 of the GIVE-2.5 Challenge. The systems implement two different referring expression generation models from Garoufi and Koller (2011) while behaving identically in all other respects. In particular, P1 combines symbolic and corpus-based methods for the generation of successful referring expressions, while P2 is based on a purel...

Atmospheric monitoring with a spectrographic imager

A compact airborne spectrographic imager (CASI) mounted on top of an attitude stabilizing platform inside a Cessna 207T was used to monitor changes in and around a lake near Berlin for 4 months in 1993± 1994. The radiance was recorded at three di€ erent altitudes in the wavelength range 0 4́± 0 9́ mm. The observed radiances were found to be di€ erent from 1 month to another due to the variability...

SPICA and Its Instrumentation

SPICA (Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics) is an astronomical mission optimized for midand far-infrared astronomy with a cryogenically cooled 3.5 m telescope. Its high spatial resolution and unprecedented sensitivity in the midand far-infrared will enable us to address a number of key problems in present-day astronomy, ranging from the star-formation history of the universe...
