cell types, one that innervates the song motor nucleus RA, and the other that innervates the basal ganglia homologue area X. Area X, the thalamic nucleus DLM and the anterior telencephalic nucleus LMAN form the anterior forebrain pathway (AFP; gray), which is implicated in auditory feedback and song perception, and which is essential to audition-guided vocal plasticity in juvenile and adult bir...

A Distributed-Lagrange-Multiplier(DLM)-based method is implemented for the simulation of particulate flow. Initially, we show that our fluid-particle solver produces results which are in good agreement with numerical studies of benchmark viscous flow problems. Subsequently, the bouncing motion of a solid sphere onto a solid plate in an ambient fluid is considered. Comparing results for the coef...

A remarkable number of important problems in different domains (e.g. web mining, pattern recognition, biology . . . ) are naturally modeled by functions defined on graphical domains, rather than on traditional vector spaces. Following the recent developments in statistical relational learning, in this talk, I introduce Diffusion Learning Machines (DLM) whose computation is very much related to ...

The German Authoritative Topographic Cartographic Information System (ATKIS) stores the height and the 2D position of the objects in a dual system. The digital terrain model (DTM), often acquired by airborne laser scanning (ALS), supplies the height information in a regular grid, whereas 2D vector data are provided in the digital landscape model (DLM). However, an increasing number of applicati...

Although alcohol is known to be a carcinogen for humans, ethanol-genotoxicity studies are incomplete. Ethanol seems not to be a bacterial mutagen, but the results are confl icting in rodent assays. We investigate the genotoxicity in the bone marrow micronucleus (MN) test and in the dominant lethal mutation (DLM) assay using two long-term ethanol exposure protocols. In the MN test, mice consumed...

Nowadays network security is one of the imperative terms in computer science. Communication of users entirely depends on network (public, private or hybrid). Each and everyone know that this communication done in the form of data, for security and protection of network in this paper we are focusing on data, also we are going to update “Data Lifecycle Model”. Phases works under DLM which are imp...

20 Basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits are multi-stage loops critical to motor behavior, 21 but the contributions of individual components to overall circuit function remain unclear. 22 We addressed these issues in a songbird basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuit (the 23 anterior forebrain pathway, AFP) specialized for singing and critical for vocal plasticity. 24 The major known afferent to...

The recently introduced second CHiME challenge is a difficult two-microphone speech recognition task with non-stationary interference. Current approaches in the source-separation community have focused on the front-end problem of estimating the clean signal given the noisy signals. Here we pursue a different approach, focusing on state-of-the-art ASR techniques such as discriminative training a...

This KDI/NCC proposal builds upon a prior NSF HPCC Grand Challenge award (ESC-95-27123) for the highperformance computation of the motion of solid particles in Newtonian and viscoelastic liquids; it aims to use these computations to elucidate fundamental dynamics and solve problems of engineering interest. The Grand Challenge goal was to develop software packages, called particle movers, capabl...

The relationship between the number of synaptic vesicles and the amount of transmitter released from identified synapses was investigated in the dorsal longitudinal flight muscle (DLM) of the temperature-sensitive endocytosis mutant of Drosophila melanogaster, shibirets-1(shi). In the shi fly at 29 degrees C, vesicle recyling is blocked, but transmitter release proceeds normally. Thus, by induc...
