With the availability of large amounts of training data relevant to speech recognition scenarios, scalability becomes a very productive way to improve language model performance. We present a technique that represents a back-off n-gram language model using arrays of integer values and thus renders it amenable to effective block compression. We propose a few such compression algorithms and evalu...

Drivers in urban neighborhoods who patrol streets, seeking inexpensive on-street parking create a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The pool of drivers patrolling at any time can be modeled as a queue, where ‘queue service’ is the act of parking in a recently vacated parking space and queue discipline is SIRO – Service In Random Order. We develop a queueing model of such driv...

one of the main problems of supply chain network design is uncertainty. to consider this, designing of a three-echelon supply chain in a fuzzy environment is discussed in this paper. since satisfaction of some constraints in supply chain is vital and necessary, so this research proposes a direct solution approach to find the solution which represents the trade-off between feasibility degree of ...

Edge Splitting-off and Network Design Problems

The decision whether a parking garage will be attractive, profitable and will operate efficiently, or whether it will be unsatisfactory to the point of being an unprofitable venture, often is made when the parking facility is in the design stage. This is particularly true of parking garages of the self-parking type. On behalf of the Building Planning Service of the National Associ­ ation of Bui...

Background: In the past few years there has been an increased interest in the repurposing of already approved pharmacotherapies for other uses. Bevacizumab is the most widely off-label used antiangiogenic in retinal ophthalmology, recently highlighting new targets in other ocular disorders. Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the evidence and discuss the rationale behind the ...

A circuit design methodology minimizing total power drain of a static complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) random logic network for a prescribed performance, operating temperature range, and short channel threshold voltage rolloff is investigated. Physical, continuous, smooth, and compact “Transregional” MOSFET drain current models that consider high-field effects in scaled devices an...
