We prove that the integrated density of states (IDS) associated to a random Schrödinger operator is locally uniformly Hölder continuous as a function of the disorder parameter λ. In particular, we obtain convergence of the IDS, as λ → 0, to the IDS for the unperturbed operator at all energies for which the IDS for the unperturbed operator is continuous in energy.

It has been suggested that infant-directed speech (IDS) is a special speech register conducive to gaining infants’ attention, eliciting and expressing affect, and teaching infants about the phonology of the ambient language. Certain similarities have been observed between IDS and pet-directed speech (PDS), but until now these have not been systematically studied. In this study IDS, PDS, and adu...

Adults address infants with a special speech register known as infant-directed speech (IDS), which conveys both linguistic and emotional information through its characteristic lexicon and exaggerated prosody (e.g., higher pitched, slower, and hyperarticulated). Although caregivers are known to regulate the usage of IDS (linguistic and emotional components) depending on their child's development...

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) protects computer networks against attacks and intrusions, in combination with firewalls and anti-virus systems. An IDS is therefore a crucial element of a network security posture. One class of IDS is called signature-based network IDSs as they monitor network traffic, looking for evidence of malicious behavior as specified in attack descriptions (referred t...

Normal traffic can provide worms with a very good source of information to camouflage themselves. In this paper, we explore the concept of polymorphic worms that mutate based on normal traffic. We assume that a worm has already penetrated a system and is trying to hide its presence and propagation attempts from an IDS. We focus on stealthy worms that cannot be reliably detected by increases in ...

high processing loads, need for complicated and frequent updating, and high false alarm are some of the challenges in designing anomaly detection and misuse detection systems. we propose a new network-based intrusion detection system (ids) that resolves such shortcomings. our scheme fuses anomaly detection and misuse detection systems, which has not been utilized so far in existing systems. in ...

The aim of this project is to compare (i) the acoustic vs. visual characteristics of infant-directed speech (IDS), (ii) IDS vs adult-directed speech (ADS), and (iii) the acoustic/visual characteristics of IDS and ADS cross-linguistically, in Australian English (AusE) vs Japanese. Acoustic data are presented along with preliminary visual data. Native AusE and Japanese speaking mothers spoke to t...

Various aspects of motherese also known as infant-directed speech (IDS) have been studied for many years. As it is a widespread phenomenon, it is suspected to play some important roles in infant development. Therefore, our purpose was to provide an update of the evidence accumulated by reviewing all of the empirical or experimental studies that have been published since 1966 on IDS driving fact...
