The .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) offers a new opportunity to experiment with multi-language interoperation, and provides a relatively rare chance to explore deep interoperation of a wide range of programming language paradigms. This article describes how the logic/functional programming language Mercury is compiled to the CLR. We describe the problems we have encountered with generating c...

1. Complete the tracking and detailed analysis of a data set of several hundred thousand fin whale calls recorded on the Endeavour segment over a 3-year period from 2003-2006. Analyze tracks for call characteristics, calling patterns, swimming patterns, net seasonal migration, diurnal variations, interannual variations, correlations with physical oceanography and correlations of call locations ...

This study reports on the evaluation of the feasibility, cost, and cost-effectiveness of a proactively provided telephone-based motivational smoking cessation intervention to an underserved population of pregnant smokers who may or may not receive ongoing prenatal care.

In this paper the basic ideas underlying the implementation of a Code Generator for B(PN) 2 (Basic Petri Net ProgrammingNotation), i.e. a translator of B(PN) 2 into C is presented. The core syntax of the source language is extended by C-routine calls (i.e user deened procedures or system calls) as atomic commands. The target language is represented in terms of the ANSI C Standard with its opera...

The Call My Net 2015 (CMN15) corpus presents a new resource for Speaker Recognition Evaluation and related technologies. The corpus includes conversational telephone speech recordings for a total of 220 speakers spanning 4 languages: Tagalog, Cantonese, Mandarin and Cebuano. The corpus includes 10 calls per speaker made under a variety of noise conditions. Calls were manually audited for langua...
