1Q ABSTRACT It has long been known that one of the key factors in determining the accuracy of isolated word recognition systems is the size and/or complexity of the vocabulary. Although most practical isolated word recognizers use small vocabularies (on the order of 10 to 50 words), there are many applications which require medium to large size vocabularies (e.g. airlines reservation and inform...

We consider the problem of reconnection in weakly collisional plasmas in the strong guide field limit. In this regime the standard resistive Ohm’s law is modified to include electron compressibility and electron inertia effects. Despite the increased complexity of the governing equations, we show that analytic steady state solutions, like those discovered by Craig and Henton for the purely resi...

In this paper, we consider the steady-state queue length distribution of the GI/G/1/K queue. As a result, we obtain transform-free expressions for the steady-state queue length distributions at an arrival, at a departure and at an arbitrary time, all in product forms. The results are obtained by what we call the decomposed Little’s formula, which applies the Little’s formula W L λ = to the n wa...

We consider a polling system where the server cyclically serves the queues according to the following discipline: the server does one round of visits to the queues applying the gated service discipline at each of the queues, followed by one round of visits applying the exhaustive service discipline at each of the queues, and this alternating pattern repeats itself. We call this the Gated/Exhaus...

The aim of this paper is a theoretical study of a cache system in order to find a way for optimization of proxy systems and to modernize construction principles. Two types of the correlations, Zipf-like distribution and normalizing conditions, play a role of fundamental laws. Corresponding system of equations allows to describe basic effects like ratio between construction parts, steady-state p...

Given the public health importance of law modernization, we undertook a comparative analysis of policy efforts in 4 states (Alaska, South Carolina, Wisconsin, and Nebraska) that have considered public health law reform based on the Turning Point Model State Public Health Act. Through national legislative tracking and state case studies, we investigated how the Turning Point Act's model legal la...

among the important elements of democracies are parliaments and legislatures. parliament’s status and importance is such that each democratic system and state, should take it into consideration as a fundamental and vital institution. this requirement is also discussed in islamic states. according to the principles of islamic theological thought, before we can talk about parliament and its struc...

We address H• state feedback and give a simple form for an optimal control law applicable to linear time invariant systems with symmetric and Hurwitz state matrix. More specifically, the control law as well as the minimal value of the norm can be expressed in the matrices of the system’s state space representation, given separate cost on state and control input. Thus, the control law is transpa...

In this paper we deal with 1-way multihead finite automata, in which the symbol under only one head (called read head) controls its move and other heads cannot distinguish the input symbols, they can only distinguish the end-marker from the other input symbols and they are called the blind head. We call such automaton a partially blind multihead automaton. We prove that partially blind k + 1-he...
