This paper describes the Cypriot Greek speech database collected in the framework of the European project OrienTel (IST-200028373) and the acoustic models adaptation techniques that were applied in order to perform dialect adaptation from Greek to Cypriot. Greek and Cypriot Greek share the same phoneme set. However, there are some differences in the way the same phonemes are pronounced. That is...

this study addresses samuel beckett’s most celebrated play, waiting for godot, in an effort to analyze its characters from a novel perspective. since greek mythology has been undisputedly influential on western culture and literature, the researcher attempts to investigate a connection between greek mythology and the play. this study aims to reveal that even after more than fifty seven years of...

Abstract KAGRA is a newly built gravitational wave observatory, laser interferometer with 3 km arm length, located at Kamioka, Gifu, Japan. In this series of articles we present an overview the baseline KAGRA, for which finished installing designed configuration in 2019. This article describes method calibration (CAL) used reconstructing signals from detector outputs, as well characterization (...

High capacity disks, especially optical ones, are commercially available. These disks are ideal for archiving large text data bases. In this work, we examine efficient searching techniques for such applications. We propose a unifying framework, which reveals the similarities between signature files and an inverted file using a hash table. Then, we design methods that combine the ease of inserti...

A machine solves a problem using space s(·) if, for every input x, the machine outputs the correct answer and uses only the first s(|x|) cells of the tape. For a standard Turing machine, we can’t do better than linear space since x itself must be on the tape. So we will often consider a machine with multiple tapes: a read-only “input” tape, a read/write “work” or “memory” tape, and possibly a w...
