Severe hypoxia elicits aquatic surface respiration (ASR) behaviour in many species of fish, where ventilation of the gills at the air-water interface improves O2 uptake and survival. ASR is an important adaptation that may have given rise to air breathing in vertebrates. The neural substrate of this behaviour, however, is not defined. We characterized ASR in developing and adult zebrafish (Dani...

ÐStartle is a fast response to sudden, intense stimuli and probably protects the organism from injury by a predator or by a blow. The acoustic startle response (ASR) of mammals is mediated by a relatively simple neuronal circuit located in the lower brainstem. Neurons of the caudal pontine reticular nucleus (PnC) are key elements of this primary ASR pathway. The ASR in humans and animals has a ...

INTRODUCTION No population-based data of cancer incidence from Morocco have been published before. This is the first report of cancer incidence in Rabat from a population-based cancer registry for the period 2006-2008. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cancer registry collects data on all new cases of cancer diagnosed in the resident population of the Rabat area. Data collection is an active process ...

Crude incidence rates (per 105) were 181 in urban and 149 in rural (ASR: 149 in urban & 122 in rural) with 21% higher incidence (CI:1.2-1.3) and 7% mortality (CI:=1.0-1.16) and lower fatality (mortality/incidence) (38.3% urban vs. 43.0% rural) in urban. Common cancers were lung (CR: 19.2, ASR: 15.4), prostate (CR: 19.0, ASR: 15.0) and colo-rectum (CR: 15.3, ASR: 12.4) in urban and lung (CR: 21....

* Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] The Escherichia coli asr gene and its orthologues in the genomes of other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae represent stress response elements regulated by a low environmental acidity (pH < 5.0) [1]. They code for small basic 82–139 amino acid proteins of unknown function. While important for exponential phase E. coli growth in ...

This paper presents a solution to evaluate spoken post-editing of imperfect machine translation output by a human translator. We compare two approaches to the combination of machine translation (MT) and automatic speech recognition (ASR): a heuristic algorithm and a machine learning method. To obtain a data set with spoken post-editing information, we use the French version of TED talks as the ...

Parsing speech requires a richer representation than 1-best or n-best hypotheses, e.g. lattices. Moreover, previous work shows that part-of-speech (POS) tags are a valuable resource for parsing. In this paper, we therefore explore a joint modeling approach of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and POS tagging to enrich ASR word lattices. To that end, we manipulate the ASR process from the prono...

We are interested in the problem of robust understanding from noisy spontaneous speech input. With the advances in automated speech recognition (ASR), there has been increasing interest in spoken language understanding (SLU). A challenge in large vocabulary spoken language understanding is robustness to ASR errors. State of the art spoken language understanding relies on the best ASR hypotheses...
