Abstract Numerical glacier and ice-sheet models compute evolving ice geometry velocity fields using various stress-balance approximations boundary conditions. At high spatial resolution, with horizontal mesh/grid resolutions of a few kilometers or smaller, these usually require time steps shorter than climate-coupling scales because they update thickness after each solution. High-resolution per...

A very high quality speech analysis, modification and synthesis system—STRAIGHT— has now been implemented in C language and operated in realtime. This article first provides a brief summary of STRAIGHT components and then introduces the underlying principles that enabled realtime operation. In STRAIGHT, the built-in extended pitch synchronous analysis, which does not require analysis window ali...

Detailed knowledge of the subcellular location of all proteins and how they change under various conditions is essential for systems biology efforts to recreate the behavior of cells and organisms. Systematic study of subcellular patterns requires automated methods to determine the location pattern for each protein and how it relates to others. Our group has designed sets of numerical features ...

We study the spatial distribution of satellite galaxies by assuming that they follow the dark matter distribution. This assumption is supported by semi-analytical studies based on high-resolution numerical simulations. We find that for a Milky-Way type halo, if only a dozen satellite galaxies are observed, then they can lie on a “great” disk with an rms height of about 40 kpc. The normal to the...
