Comprehensive information on genetic diversity and introgression is desirable for the design of rational breed improvement and conservation programs. Despite the concerns regarding the genetic introgression of Western pig breeds into the gene pool of the Korean native pig (KNP), the level of this admixture has not yet been quantified. In the present study, we genotyped 93 animals, representing ...

1 Abstract Loosely packed granular materials are intensively studied nowadays. Electrical and thermal transport properties should reflect the granular structure as well as intrinsic properties. We have compacted crystalline CaAl based metallic grains and studied the electrical resistivity and the thermoelectric power as a function of temperature (T) from 15 to 300K. Both properties show three r...

Rev. 1.10 ■ Memories – 32K to 60K dual voltage High Density Flash (HDFlash) or ROM with read-out protection capability. In-Application Programming and In-Circuit Programming for HDFlash devices – 1K to 2K RAM – HDFlash endurance: 100 cycles, data retention: 20 years at 55°C ■ Clock, Reset And Supply Management – Enhanced low voltage supervisor (LVD) for main supply and auxiliary voltage detecto...

Improving seed oil yield and quality are central targets in rapeseed (Brassica napus) breeding. The primary goal of our study was to examine and compare the potential and the limits of marker-assisted selection and genome-wide prediction of six important seed quality traits of B. napus. Our study is based on a bi-parental population comprising 202 doubled haploid lines and a diverse validation ...

Significant progress on pig genetics and genomics research has been witnessed in recent years due to the integration of advanced molecular biology techniques, bioinformatics and computational biology, and the collaborative efforts of researchers in the swine genomics community. Progress on expanding the linkage map has slowed down, but the efforts have created a higher-resolution physical map i...

In generic automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, typically, language models (LMs) are trained to work within a broad range of input conditions. ASR systems used in domainspecific spoken dialogue systems (SDSs) are more constrained in terms of content and style. A mismatch in content and/or style between training and operating conditions results in performance degradation for the dialogue ...

Large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) is an important basis for the application development of speech recognition technology. We had constructed Japanese common LVCSR speech database and have been developing sharable Japanese LVCSR programs/models by the volunteer-based efforts. We have been engaged in the following two volunteer-based activities. a) IPSJ (Information Processin...

We present novel measurements of the refractive index, density and integrated band strengths of mid-infrared features of solid N(2)O at 16K and of NO(2) and N(2)O(4) in two frozen NO(2):N(2)O(4) mixtures deposited at 16 and 60K. The refractive index and density measurements were performed also for frozen O(2) deposited at 16K. In this case, the integrated band strength values could not be deter...

Click Through Rate(CTR) prediction is vital for online advertising system. Recently sparse ID features are widely adopted in the industry. While the ID features, e.g. the serial number of ad, are of low computation complexity and cheap to acquire, they can reveal little intrinsic information about the ad itself. In this work, we propose a novel Deep Image CTR Model(DICM). DICM i) introduces ima...

The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of dust-enshrouded galaxies with powerful restframe farinfrared(IR) emission have been constrained by a range of ground-based and space-borne surveys. The IRAS catalog provides a reasonably complete picture of the dust emission from nearby galaxies (redshift z ≃ 0.1) that are typically less luminous than about 10 L⊙. However, at higher redshifts, the obs...
