Black lechwe (Kobus leche smithemani) is a semi-aquatic medium sized antelope currently enlisted on the IUCN red list of endangered species and is only endemic to the Bangweulu basin of Zambia. Its population has significantly decreased due to floods that took place during the period 1930-1940 from over 250 000-15000 leading the Zambian government to gazette all habitats of Black lechwe into st...

This paper describes recent work on decision fusion in audiovisual speech recognition. In this work, a novel approach is proposed to combine audio and video channel information in audiovisual speech recognition scenario. We have considered framelevel phonetic classification problem using two single-stream Gaussian Mixture Models. Audio and video streams are adaptively weighted using a cumulativ...

We have carried out observations of the starless core L1544 in the CCS (JN = 32−21) line at 9 millimeters wavelength using the BIMA array. The maps show an elongated condensation, 0.15 × 0.045 pc in size, with stronger emission at the edges. The appearance is consistent with a flattened, ringlike structure viewed at high inclination to the line of sight. The CCS molecule is likely heavily deple...

We describe the current status of CATS, a publicly accessible database (web-server http://cats.sao.ru) allowing one to search in hundreds of catalogs of astronomical objects discovered all along the electromagnetic spectrum. Our emphasis is mainly laid on catalogs of radio continuum sources observed from 30 to 15000 MHz, secondly on catalogs of objects such as raIn 2004 CATS comprised a total o...

This study aimed to predict the CNC cutting conditions for best wood surface quality, energy, and time savings using artificial neural network (ANN) models. In process, walnut, ash were used as materials, while three different tool diameters (3 mm, 6 8 mm), spindle speed (12000 rpm, 15000 18000 rpm), feed rate m/min, 9 m/min) determined conditions. After processes completed with machine, energy...

Hadron calorimeter (HCAL) is an essential sub-detector of the baseline detector system for Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). We plan to build Analog CALorimeter (AHCAL) prototype based on Particle Flow Algorithm (PFA). The AHCAL CEPC uses steel as absorber and scintillator tiles read out by Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) sensitive medium. energy linearity resolution depends light y...

The SatEx web site is devoted to experimentation around SAT. It is not only a front-end to a database gathering an exhaustive number of executions, but it also allows dynamic result synthesis as well as a detailed exploitation of all experimentations. Being dynamically generated and constantly evolving, this site can be considered as an always up-to-date SAT experimentation paper. At this time,...

Analyses of the KNM-WT 15000 Homo erectus juvenile male partial skeleton from Kenya concluded that this species had a tall thin body shape due to specialized locomotor and climatic adaptations. Moreover, it was concluded that H. erectus pelves were obstetrically restricted to birthing a small-brained altricial neonate. Here we describe a nearly complete early Pleistocene adult female H. erectus...

The effects of stocking density of eggs and larvae were studied related to the morphological deformities appearance, percentage of survival, and growth rate, in order to achieve the most suitable stocking density for eggs and larvae in incubators and rearing tanks. The egg stocking densities were 500, 700 and 900 g per incubator for great sturgeon, 500 and 1000g per incubator for Persian sturge...
