OBJECTIVE To compare out-of-box performance of three commercially available continuous speech recognition software packages: IBM ViaVoice 98 with General Medicine Vocabulary; Dragon Systems NaturallySpeaking Medical Suite, version 3.0; and L&H Voice Xpress for Medicine, General Medicine Edition, version 1.2. DESIGN Twelve physicians completed minimal training with each software package and th...

This paper evaluates and compares several stream ciphers that use 256-bit keys: counter-mode AES, CryptMT, DICING, Dragon, FUBUKI, HC-256, Phelix, Py, Py6, Salsa20, SOSEMANUK, VEST, and YAMB.

The DRAGON View information visualization tools aid in the comprehensive analysis of large-scale gene expression data that has been annotated with biologically relevant information through the generation of three types of complementary graphical outputs.

Let T be the attractor of injective contractions f1, . . . , fm on R 2 that satisfy the Open Set Condition. If T is connected, ∂T is arcwise connected. In particular, the boundary of the Lévy dragon is arcwise connected.

This paper recounts the tale of a most vicious dragon that ate thousands of people every day, and of the actions that the king, the people, and an assembly of dragonologists took with respect thereof.

Following a novel approach, where the emphasis is on configuration spaces and equivariant topology, we prove several results addressing envy-free division problem in presence of an unpredictable (secretive, non-cooperative) player, called dragon. There are two basic scenarios. (1) $$r-1$$ players Once “cake” divided into r parts, dragon makes his choice grabs one pieces. After that, should be a...

The C. elegans postembryonic lineage, the M lineage, gives rise to mesodermal cell types: body wall muscles, sex muscles and coelomocytes. Past research in the Liu lab has shown that SMA-9, the C. elegans homolog of Drosophila Schnurri, is required for establishing dorsoventral asymmetry in the M lineage, and that it does so by antagonizing the Sma/Mab TGF-β signaling pathway. To identify addit...

One of the main objectives of the Forest DRAGON 2 project is the evaluation of the Forest DRAGON 1 large area forest growing stock volume (GSV) maps generated for Northeast and Southeast China, based on ERS-1/2 tandem coherence data from the mid 1990s. A special cross-comparison design mainly based on freely available Earth Observation products has been developed in consequence of lack of exten...

The new DRAGON (Detector of Recoils And Gammas Of Nuclear reactions) facility, located at the TRIUMFISAC radioactive beams laboratory in Vancouver, Canada, has initiated its experimental program. Recently DRAGON was used for initial studies of the Na(p,c)Mg reaction. This facility was designed to measure absolutely the rates of radiative proton and alpha capture reactions of astrophysical inter...
