We propose to fix the boundary between the DT and CSC Level-1 Track-Finders at η = 1.04. The ramifications of this decision and the details of the implementation are discussed in this Note. The efficiency and ghost rate of the Track-Finders is also studied near this boundary.

In overlap-add synthesis of sinusoidal partials, amplitude modulation distortion can occur in the overlap region if the partial frequencies in successive frames diier. The frame-to-frame frequency changes can be accommodated by synthesizing linearly time-varying sinusoids (chirps) in adjacent frames. In this paper we present a new approach to chirp synthesis in which the distortion is eliminate...

Previously proposed anonymous electronic payment systems have the drawback that the bank has to maintain large databases, which is a handicap for the realization of such systems. In this paper, we present a practical anonymous payment system that signiicantly reduces the size of such databases. It uses the concept of anonymous accounts and ooers anonymity as an add-on feature to existing EFTPOS...

We present four human behavioral experiments to address the question of intuitive granularities in fundamental spatial relations as they can be found in formal spatial calculi. These calculi focus on invariant characteristics under certain (especially topological) transformations. Of particular interest to this article is the concept of two spatially extended entities overlapping each other. Th...

We present our ongoing work in addressing the issue of overlapped speech in speaker diarization through the use of overlap segmentation, overlapped speech exclusion, and overlap segment labeling. Using feature analysis, we identify the most salient features from a candidate list including those from our previous system and a set of newly proposed features. In addition, through independent optim...

The possibility of di!erences in phonetic alignment of phonological segments was examined by contrasting consonant sequences at word boundaries in Russian and English. In Experiment 1, two acoustic measures of consonant overlap, percent released and duration ratio, are computed for stop sequences at word boundaries, and results for English and Russian are compared. While signi"cant variation du...

Nowadays, the services offered by the Service Providers are subjected to many risks in terms of privacy agreements and hence they are treated as untrustworthy. Security risk analysis is fundamental to the security of any business and it is considered to be very essential in ensuring that controls and expenditure are fully commensurate with the risks to which the business is

Our paper deals with the information system design when several responsibilities share a common subset of information. First, we show how to define information overlap situations between these responsibilities. Then we focus on these situations in order to understand how the responsibility areas can avoid information coordination misunderstandings.The study of these situations shows how to defi...

Marine Recreational Fishing Statistics Survey (MRFSS) economic add-on data has been collected since 1994. The data are comprised of two geographically identical datasets for the Southeast region (1997, 2000), five identical datasets for the Northeast region (1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000), and one dataset for the Pacific region (1998). Measures of the economic value of fishing sites and harvest ...
