In some technological frameworks, such as Charge Routing Networks (CRN), or fiber-optic filters, only positive state space realizations of digital signal processing algorithms, such as filters or control laws, can be implemented. On the other hand, the imposition of an a priori positivity con...

Variation across talkers in the acoustic-phonetic realization of speech sounds is a pervasive property of spoken language. The present study provides evidence that variation across talkers in the realization of American English stop consonants is highly structured. Positive voice onset time (VOT) was examined for all six word-initial stop categories in isolated productions of CVC syllables and ...

Offering applications as a service in the Cloud builds on the notion of application multi-tenancy. Multi-tenancy, the sharing of application instances and their underlying resources between users from different organizational domains, allows service providers to maximize resource utilization and reduce servicing costs per user. Realizing application multi-tenancy however requires suitable enabl...

the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...

Electroweak baryogenesis could be very efficient at the end of an electroweakscale inflation. Reheating that followed inflation could create a highly nonequilibrium plasma, in which the baryon number violating transitions were rapid. In addition, the time-dependent motions of the scalar degrees of freedom could provide the requisite CP violation. If the final reheat temperature was below 100 Ge...

In past work we described a system of components that are used to construct transit traveler information applications. In this paper we describe an ongoing project that uses the same component architecture to combine maps, schedules, and AVL information from four transit agencies. The result is a set of web applications suitable for both transit management and traveler information. We describe ...

An NMR realization of a two-qubit quantum gate which processes quantum information indirectly via couplings to a spectator qubit is presented in the context of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm. This enables a successful comprehensive NMR implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm for functions with three argument bits and demonstrates a technique essential for multi-qubit quantum computation.

References included in multi-document summaries are often problematic. In this paper, we present a corpus study performed to derive a statistical model for the syntactic realization of referential expressions. The interpretation of the probabilistic data helps us gain insight on how extractive summaries can be rewritten in an efficient manner to produce more fluent and easy-to-read text.

Abstract. Co-evolutionary techniques for evolutionary algorithms help overcoming limited adaptive capabilities of evolutionary algorithms, and maintaining population diversity. In this paper the idea and formal model of agent-based realization of predator-prey co-evolutionary algorithm is presented. The presented system is applied to the problem of effective portfolio building and compared to c...
