The karyomorphological study of two species Mahseer belonging to the genus Neolissochilus, namely Neolissochilus hexagonolepis and N. hexastichus were carried out. revealed basic chromosome number in both Masheer was observed be 100. However, karyotype formula varied among species. had a diploid 42 metacentric (m), 20 submetacentric (sm), 8 subtelocentric (st) 30 telocentric (t) karyotypic 32 2...

Over the last few years, the network community has started to rely heavily on the use of novel concepts such as fractals, self-similarity, long-range dependence, power-laws. Especially evidence of fractals, self-similarity and long-range dependence in network traffic have been widely observed. Despite their wide use, there is still much confusion regarding the identification of such phenomena i...

Currently biometric system performance is evaluated in terms of its FAR and FRR. The accuracy expressed in such a manner depends on the characteristics of the dataset on which the system has been tested. Using different datasets for system evaluation makes a true comparison of such systems difficult, more so in cases where the systems are designed to work on different biometrics, such as finger...

We present a comprehensive analysis for the determination of the confusion levels for the current and the next generation of far-infrared surveys assuming three different cosmological evolutionary scenarios. We include an extensive model for diffuse emission from infrared cirrus in order to derive absolute sensitivity levels taking into account the source confusion noise due to point sources, t...

In the recent past, trade mark litigation has gradually increased in the High Court of Tanzania (HCT). This litigation includes disputes over registration of trade marks, applications for temporary injunctions, trade mark infringement, and passing-off. Although I have classified trade mark litigation into four distinct groups, more often they tend to overlap in practice. The analysis in this ar...

Collaborative filtering recommenders predict user opinions regardless of item content. Memory-based implementations generate recommendations on demand, without any pre-computation. Even though such algorithms are slow, they are known for their superior personalization. We study collaborative filtering recommendations on the Netflix dataset. It is essentially a set of (user id, item id, rating) ...

The idea of a hierarchical structure of language constituents of phonemes, syllables, words, and sentences is robust and widely accepted. Empirical similarity differences at every level of this hierarchy have been analyzed in the form of confusion matrices for many years. By normalizing such data so that differences are represented by conditional probabilities, semiorders of similarity differen...

In spite of the recent advancements being made in speech recognition, recognition errors are unavoidable in continuous speech recognition. In this paper, we focus on a word-error correction system for continuous speech recognition using confusion networks. Conventional N -gram correction is widely used; however, the performance degrades due to the fact that the N -gram approach cannot measure i...

We address the problem of word confusability in speech recognition by measuring the similarity between Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) using a number of recently developed techniques. The focus is on defining a word confusability that is accurate, in the sense of predicting artificial speech recognition errors, and computationally efficient when applied to speech recognition applications. It is sho...

We tested two explanations of the phonological similarity effect in verbal short-term memory: The confusion hypothesis assumes that serial positions of similar items are confused. The overwriting hypothesis states that similar items share feature representations, which are overwritten. Participants memorised a phonologically dissimilar list of CVC-trigrams (Experiment 1) or words (Experiment 2 ...
