Research in the area of Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) for Indian languages has not seen the level of advancement as in English since there is a dearth of large scale speech and language corpora even today. Tamil is one among the four major Dravidian languages spoken in southern India. One of the characteristics of Tamil is that it is morphologically very rich. This qual...

We describe the formal speci cation and veri cation of the VGI parallel DSP chip [1], which contains 64 compute processors with 30K gates in each processor. Our e ort coincided in time with the \informal" veri cation stage of the chip. By interacting with the designers, we produced an abstract but executable speci cation of the design which embodies the programmer's view of the system. Given th...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of the NaviTip FX, brush-covered irrigation needle, in removing calcium hydroxide from the root canal. STUDY DESIGN Thirty single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into three groups: A - irrigation with a hypodermic needle inserted as far as possible without binding and activation with #30 K-type file; B - Irrigation with a hypodermic needle without ac...

In a matter of a few days the murine tooth germ develops into a complex, mineralized, structure. Murine 30K microarrays were used to examine gene expression in the mandibular first molar tooth germs isolated at 15.5dpc and at 2DPN. Microarray results were validated using real-time RT-PCR. The results suggested that only 25 genes (3 without known functions) exhibited significantly higher express...

The dynamic orientational order-disorder transition of clusters consisting of octahedral AF6 molecules is formulated in terms of symmetry-adapted rotator functions. The transition from a higher-temperature body-centered-cubic phase whose molecules are orientationally disordered at their sites to lower-temperature, monoclinic, orientationally-ordered phase is a two-step process: first, at temper...

Previously we showed that epidermal cells are able to use fibrinogen (FGN) as a migration substratum during wound closure. The goal of the present study was to determine the structural features of FGN that allow this migration. Pieces of glass coated with native, fragmented, or other modified forms of FGN were implanted into full-thickness skin wounds of adult newts such that migrating epiderma...

The computational cost and precision of a shape style heap analysis is highly dependent on the way method calls are handled. This paper introduces a new approach to analyzing method calls that leverages the fundamental object-oriented programming concepts of encapsulation and invariants. The analysis consists of a novel partial context-sensitivity heuristic and a new take on cutpoints that, in ...

Leptospira interrogans serovar icterohaemorrhagiae RGA (RGA), live or heated at 56 degrees C for 15 min or treated with Formalin, was injected into rabbits to prepare hyperimmune serum. The pathogens L. interrogans serovars icterohaemorrhagiae RGA, icterohaemorrhagiae 1, canicola Moulton, grippotyphosa Andaman, hardjo Hardjoprajitno, and pomona Pomona and the nonpathogen Leptospina biflexa sero...

Olive latent virus 2 (OLV2), a virus with particle shapes resembling those of alfalfa mosaic alfamovirus (AMV), has four major RNA species, two of which (RNA3 and RNA4) were completely sequenced. RNA3 was a bicistronic molecule containing two clear-cut ORFs, one of which (ORF1) coded for a 36.5 kDa polypeptide with conserved motifs of the '30K superfamily' movement proteins and the other (ORF2)...

The eMouseAtlas resource is an online database of 3D digital models of mouse development, an ontology of mouse embryo anatomy and a gene-expression database with about 30K spatially mapped gene-expression patterns. It is closely linked with the MGI/GXD database at the Jackson Laboratory and holds links to almost all available image-based gene-expression data for the mouse embryo. In this resour...
