The 2010 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation continues a series of evaluations of text independent speaker detection begun in 1996. It utilizes the newly collected Mixer-6 and Greybeard Corpora from the Linguistic Data Consortium. Major test conditions to be examined include variations in channel, speech style, vocal effort, and the effect of speaker aging over a multi-year period. A new primar...

Clinical tests have a poor sensitivity to low to moderate degrees of neuro-visual damage, possibly because their test targets involve numerous receptive fields. A new test used briefly exposed microdots of high contrast. Multiple visual field areas were probed repeatedly, with ever-new microdot positions. Normal subjects responded to a median 96.0% of probes. Patients with different visual fiel...

Extended Abstract. Suppose n i.i.d. observations, X1, …, Xn, are available from the unknown distribution F(.), goodness-of-fit tests refer to tests such as H0 : F(x) = F0(x) against H1 : F(x) $neq$ F0(x). Some nonparametric tests such as the Kolmogorov--Smirnov test, the Cramer-Von Mises test, the Anderson-Darling test and the Watson test have been suggested by comparing empirical ...

Die Durchführung von Tests ist eine Voraussetzung zur Erstellung qualitativ hochwertiger, nicht trivialer Softwaresysteme. Das modellgetriebene Testen ermöglicht eine hohe Testabdeckung bei gleichzeitiger Abstraktion von der zu testenden Implementierung, was insbesondere beim Testen innerhalb von Produktfamilien von Vorteil ist. Als Alternative zur vollständigen Generierung von Testmodellen ste...

It is widely known that the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) plays an important role in the address translation mechanism from virtual addresses to physical addresses. If any misses occur, the performance of the processor will seriously degrade. In order to reduce such misses, some methodologies are proposed. Some designs try to improve the associativity or sizes to reduce the conflict or cap...

PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to determine if increasing radiologist reading speed results in more misses and interpretation errors. METHODS We selected a sample set of 53 abdomen-pelvis CT scans of variable complexity performed at a teaching hospital during the study period. We classified the CT scans into 4 categories based on their level of difficulty, with level 4 representing the ...

Control systems can show robustness to many events, like disturbances and model inaccuracies. It is natural speculate that they are also robust sporadic deadline misses when implemented as digital tasks on an embedded platform. This paper proposes a comprehensive stability analysis for control subject misses, leveraging new formulation describe the patterns experienced by task under different h...

background von hippel-lindau (vhl) disease is a hereditary, autosomal dominant syndrome which is manifested by a range of different benign and malignant tumors. this disease can present with different clinical presentations such as; retinal angioma (ra), hemangioblastoma (hb) of the central nervous system (cns), pheochromocytoma (pheo), and epididymal cystadenoma. tumors are usually accompanied...

Der Test von graphischen Benutzeroberflächen (GUI) ist nach wie vor mit hohem Aufwand, sowohl für Testerstellung als auch für die Wartung von Testsuiten, verbunden. Testen von GUIs ist dennoch essenziell, da es die Arbeitsweise der Software aus Sicht des Endanwenders prüft, also so, wie sie tatsächlich in der Praxis ausgeführt wird. Eine besondere Herausforderung ist dabei oftmals die nur infor...
