A fundamental problem in speech perception is how (or whether) listeners accommodate variability the way talkers produce speech. One view of cope with this that talker differences are normalized – a mapping between talker-specific characteristics and phonetic categories computed such recognized context talker’s vocal characteristics. Consistent view, process more slowly when changes randomly th...

For six mouse olfactory receptor genes from family 262 which are expressed in clustered populations of olfactory sensory neurons, the genomic as well as cDNA structures were deciphered. All genes contained several exons which in some cases were alternatively spliced. Immediately upstream of the transcription start sites, sequence motif blocks were identified that are highly conserved among olfa...

Mucins are synthesized and secreted by many epithelia. They are complex glycoproteins that offer cytoprotection. In their functional configuration, mucins form oligomers by a biosynthetic process that is poorly understood. A family of four human gastrointestinal mucin genes (MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC6) is clustered to chromosome 11p15.5. To study oligomerization of these related mucins, we p...

A simpliied k nearest neighbour (knn) search for the R-tree 6] family is proposed in this paper. This method is modiied from the technique developed by Roussopoulos et al. 10]. The main approach aims to eliminate redundant searches when the data is highly correlated. We also describe how MINMAXDIST calculations can be avoided using MINDIST as the only distance metric which gives a signiicant sp...

This short paper compares the performance between a InfiniBand based Cluster and an older Gigabit-based cluster. The InfiniBand interconnect provides high bandwidth, low latency links between both compute nodes and storage system which gives good parallel scalability. The linpack benchmark scales linearly up to the full 208 processors. Although InfiniBand is not considered a commodity interconn...
