Intrinsic c-axis tunnelling in the superconducting state has been measured in zero and finite fields in small mesa structures fabricated on the surface of 2212-BSCCO single crystals. The temperature dependence of the zero-field critical current and quasi-particle conductance is related to microscopic d-wave models in the presence of impurity scattering. The strong field dependence of the c-axis...

ethods: RNA samples from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area 46) consisting of individuals with schizophrenia (SZ), ipolar disorder (BPD), and control subjects were tested on the Codelink Human 20K Bioarray platform. Selected transcripts were validated y quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The strong effects of age, gender, and pH in the analysis of differentia...

In this paper we present and compare several confidence measures for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. We show that posterior word probabilities computed on word graphs and N-best lists clearly outperform non-probabilistic confidence measures, e.g. the acoustic stability and the hypothesis density. In addition, we prove that the estimation of posterior word probabilities on word g...

In modern sciences and technologies, images have a broader scope due to growing importance of scientific visualization. Due to this image compression and manipulation is of major interest in research. In this paper, DCT architecture is proposed to deal with the truncation errors and to obtain a high throughput. Compensation architecture is done for the error due to truncation during multiplicat...

This paper presents the CSLU Broadcast News transcription system used in the DARPA 1997 evaluation. The system was built using the softwares developed for the CSLU LVCSR project started in January 1997. This 25K-word vocabulary system used continuous HMMs for acoustic modeling and the standard backo trigram as the language model. The search used a single pass decoder with MLLR based adaptation ...

Bupropion, a clinically used antidepressant and smoking-cessation drug, acts as a noncompetitive antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). To identify its binding site(s) in nAChRs, we developed a photoreactive bupropion analogue, (±)-2-(N-tert-butylamino)-3'-[(125)I]-iodo-4'-azidopropiophenone (SADU-3-72). Based on inhibition of [(125)I]SADU-3-72 binding, SADU-3-72 binds with h...

Recently, Linux Container has been the de-facto standard for a cloud system, enabling providers to create virtual environment in much more scaled manner. However, configuring container networks remains immature and requires automatic verification efficient management. We propose Verikube, which utilizes novel graph structure representing policies reduce memory consumption accelerate verificatio...
