An acoustic-phonetic forensic-voice-comparison system extracted information from the formant trajectories of tokens of Standard Chinese /iau/. When this information was added to a generic automatic forensic-voice-comparison system, which did not itself exploit acoustic-phonetic information, there was a substantial improvement in system validity but a decline in system reliability.

Abstract. The four-dimensional local ensemble transform Kalman filter (4D-LETKF) data assimilation system for the whole neutral atmosphere is updated to better represent disturbances with wave periods shorter than 1 d in mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region. First, incremental analysis update (IAU) filtering introduced reduce generation of spurious waves arising from insertion updates...

I describe a model of energetic gamma ray and neutrino emission in blazars which is consistent with most of the gamma-ray observations, and use this model to estimate the diffuse intensity of high energy neutrinos from blazars. ∗Accretion Phenomena and Related Outflows, IAU Colloq. 163, 1996
