Such hesitation phenomena as filled pauses (e.g., uh, um) have been argued to serve a pragmatic role as markers of impending hesitation on the part of the speaker (Smith and Clark, 1993; Clark and Fox Tree, 2002). Lengthenings (e.g., a:nd, we:ll)—also hesitation phenomena—are arguably similar. In short, these hesitation markers constitute information from which listeners make inferences. The pr...

In this paper, a method to detect unknown signals ina non-stationaryenvironmentis proposed. In addition, due to the sensor, the data are corrupted by an additive measurement stationary zero-mean white noise.Our approach, which can be useful in a wide range of situations such as the analysis of the object passing by, anomaly detection and digital communications, operates in three steps.Firstly, ...

Through landscape simplification, decreased crop diversity and increased agrochemical use, agricultural intensification led to a dramatic loss of weed (Fried et al., 2009; Meyer 2013), evolution herbicide resistance in weeds (Neve 2009). Since 2010, around 3 million tons herbicides are used each year worldwide eliminate species (FAO, 2021), most cases regardless their actual impact on yield eco...

Equine influenza (EI) is a major respiratory disease of horses, which is still causing substantial outbreaks worldwide despite several decades of surveillance and prevention. Alongside quarantine procedures, vaccination is widely used to prevent or limit spread of the disease. The panel of EI vaccines commercially available is probably one of the most varied, including whole inactivated virus v...

The isolation of a cellular factor that was specifically required for transcription from the promoter of the adenovirus early gene iv, an Ela-activated promoter, is described. This factor (EivF) was purified from HeLa cells using a functional transcription assay and identified as a 72,000to 65,000-dalton protein. DNase I footprinting experiments demonstrated that purified EivF bound to the sequ...

This is the first paper in a series of two which proves a version of a theorem of Harish-Chandra for quantum symmetric spaces in the maximally split case: There is a Harish-Chandra map which induces an isomorphism between the ring of quantum invariant differential operators and the ring of invariants of a certain Laurent polynomial ring under an action of the restricted Weyl group. Here, we est...

In this paper we consider the identification of a linear module that is embedded in a dynamic network using noisy measurements of the internal variables of the network. This is an extension of the errors-in-variables (EIV) identification framework to the case of dynamic networks. The consequence of measuring the variables with sensor noise is that the prediction error identification methods no ...
