Two class-separability criteria based on the divergence measure are proposed to improve speech recognition performance. The average and weighted average divergence measures are used as criteria for nding a transformation matrix which maps the original features into a more discriminative subspace. Results are presented for a highly confusable task. Address correspondence to: Philipos C. Loizou D...

This document is a summary of the results of the domain analysis working group of the SFB 501. The goal of the working group was the development of a domain model which summarizes the experiences of the SFB within the building automation domain. The resulting model is a description of the relevant parts of this domain. In this report we describe the work done so far, i.e. we describe the proces...

The bZIP transcription factors are involved in various aspects of plant development. Studies of bZIP group I genes in several species have indicated that they may play a role in vascular development. In order to elucidate the functions of Arabidopsis bZIP group I genes in vascular development, the expression pattern of seven AtbZIP group I genes, AtbZIP18, 29, 30, 51, 52, 59, and 69, were exami...

Comprehensive reuse and systematic evolution of reuse artifacts as proposed by the Quality Improvement Paradigm (QIP) require an integrated management of (potentially reusable) experience data as well as project-related data. This demonstration presents an approach exploiting object-relational database technology to implement a QIP-driven reuse repository. Our SFB-501-Reuse-Repository is design...

The properties of the excited states of 76Kr, populated in the decay of 76Rb produced at ISOLDE isotopic separator, have been investigated by using K-conversion electron, γ -ray, and γ -γ coincidence measurements. The lifetimes of several levels have been measured by means of the advanced time-delayed βγ γ (t) method. The identification of 19 new levels and 55 transitions and the information de...
