We describe the structure, preliminary implementation and performance of an algorithm for doing continuous speech recognition. The algorithm, known as a stack decoder, proceeds by continually evaluating one-word extensions of the most promising partial transcriptions of an input utterance. The output is a list of candidate complete transcriptions, ordered by likelihood under a stochastic model....

  Background: The standard method for repair of an injured peripheal nerve is epineural repair with separate sutures. Herein we describe a method in which the nerve is sutured with continous sutures. In fact this method has not been utilized for nerve repair previously and our purpose was to compare it to the standard method. If it proved to be successful it would replace the standard method in...

Differential equations are derived for a continous limit of iterated Schwarzian reflection of analytic curves, and solutions are interpreted as geodesics in an infinite-dimensional symmetric space geometry.

We introduce a model of the second-order lambda calculus. Such a model is a Scott domain whose elements are themselves Scott domains, and in it polymorphic maps are interpreted by generic continous maps.

In this paper, at first the elemantary and basic concepts of multiplicative discrete and continous differentian and integration introduced. Then for these kinds of differentiation invariant functions the general solution of discrete and continous multiplicative differential equations will be given. Finaly a vast class of difference equations with variable coefficients and nonlinear difference e...

Introduction Scattering of optical radiation by materials is a topic that has received much attention over the past 100 years. One particular type, Raman scattering, was first observed by C.V. Raman in 1928, and since then this inelastic scattering process has found many uses in basic and applied science. Raman scattering can be used to make spectroscopic measurements, or exploited to build Ram...
