DIVA (Directions into Velocities of Articulators) is a mathematical model of the processes behind speech acquisition and production, supposed to achieve a functional representation of areas in the brain that are involved in speech production and speech perception. Introducing cerebellum control mechanism into the model plays a significant role in improving the mechanism of speech acquisition an...

According to the demand on enormous multimedia data processing, we have designed a VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) processor called DIVA(Dual-Issue VLIW Architecture) exploiting the ILP(instruction-level parallelism) in multimedia programs. DIVA processor which can execute two instructions in one cycle supports 86 instructions including 30 media instructions, and has a sub-word execution stru...

ly, we may think of a differential operator ~ on M as a mapping on the smooth functions on M. That is, let C~(M) denote the space of smooth real-valued functions on M. Then 3' : C~(M) ~ C~(M). Bifurcations on Hemispheres 215 In our extension theory we consider only those operators that respect the symmetries on M and N. We define these operators as follows. There is a natural action of ISO(M) o...

Splicing of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial DNA group II intron aI2 depends on the intron-encoded 62-kDa reverse transcriptase-maturase protein (p62). In wild-type strains, p62 remains associated with the excised intron lariat RNA in ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles that are essential for intron homing. Studies of a bacterial group II intron showed that the DIVa substructure of intr...

This is the position paper of DIVA sound group for Acoustic Rendering Campfire. In this paper we briefly overview the DIVA auralization system and also tell our exceptations related to this Campfire.

The Data-Intensive Architecture (DIVA) system incorporates Processing-In-Memory (PIM) chips as smart-memory coprocessors to a microprocessor. This architecture exploits inherent memory bandwidth both on chip and across the system. Thus, performances of pointer-based and sparse-matrix computations as well as multimedia applications are significantly enhanced. A key feature of the DIVA architectu...

This article describes a computational model, called DIVA, that provides a quantitative framework for understanding the roles of various brain regions involved in speech acquisition and production. An overview of the DIVA model is first provided, along with descriptions of the computations performed in the different brain regions represented in the model. Particular focus is given to the model'...

The paper gives a brief overview of the use of digital video in distance education, the background to The Open University’s Digital Video Applications (DiVA) Project, the contexts in which the Digital Video Library system is being used and some evaluation findings. Through DiVA, the university is investigating how it can use its video assets effectively, to support re-use of existing materials ...

Computer tools for spatial analysis of plant genetic resources data: 1. DIVA-GIS The DIVA-GIS software allows analysis of genebank and herbarium databases to elucidate genetic, ecological and geographic patterns in the distribution of crops and wild species. It useful for scientists who cannot afford generic commercial GIS software, or do not have the time to learn how to use it, and for others...
