Within psychoacoustics, echoes and reverberation are generally thought to 1) ...

This paper presents PinPoint, a technique for localizing rogue interfering radios that adhere to standard protocols in the inhospitable ISM band without any cooperation from the interfering radio. PinPoint is designed to be incrementally deployed on top of existing 802.11 WLAN infrastructure, and used by network administrators to identify and troubleshoot sources of interference which may be di...

One of the greatest stimuli for language industry applications during the 1980s was the mass adoptance of product localization within the computer industry. Translation companies sprung up to address this lucrative market, vying for contracts by offering one-stop package deals for multiple target languages, the fast turnaround required in the notoriously ephemeral software world, and ostensibly...

The list of microbes that cause fever in children is extensive. Relative importance of specific agents varies with age, season, and associated symptoms. The focus of this chapter is the febrile child with occult bacterial infection. Table 14-1 shows the most common causes of serious bacterial infection in children younger than 3 months. The division at 1 month is not absolute; considerable over...

This paper presents a model for linguistic/terminological information, which can be used in tandem with an ontological model, in order to link lexicalizations and concepts. The main aim of the proposed model is to provide multilingual information to ontologies. Interoperability with existing standard models of terminological description as well as access to authoritative linguistic resources ar...

We examine what happens if we replace ZFC with a localistic/relativistic system, LZFC, whose central new axiom, denoted by Loc(ZFC), says that every set belongs to a transitive model of ZFC. LZFC consists of Loc(ZFC) plus some elementary axioms forming Basic Set Theory (BST). Some theoretical reasons for this shift of view are given. All Π2 consequences of ZFC are provable in LZFC. LZFC strongl...
