Introduction: The human stature forms part of his or her biological profile. It becomes more important during personal identification in case of mass disasters and in search of missing persons. We measured various parameters of the dried tibia, then by applying linear regression we formulated maximum tibia length which can be conveniently used for arriving at human stature. Methods: The obtain...

Prosodic phrasing is an important and more difficult a problem for Indian languages, as the Indian language scripts use very little or no punctuation. This paper reports a preliminary attempt on data-driven modeling of prosodic phrase boundary prediction for the Indian language Telugu. In an effort to identify meaningful features that affect the prosodic phrasing, a new feature, namely mopheme ...

[1] Observational analysis and model experiments show that the sea surface temperature anomaly associated with the Indian Ocean Basin mode (IOBM), which persists from spring to summer, can generate significant circumglobal teleconnection (CGT) in the Northern Hemisphere summer midlatitude atmosphere. A warm IOBM can induce a new atmospheric heating source in the south Asia through a positive fe...

The reported geographical variations in the prevalence of photoparoxysmal response (PPR) among epilepsy patients have been variously attributed to methodological problems such as patient selection, technique of intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) and definition of PPR, and environmental and racial factors. We determined the prevalence rate of PPR among South Indian epilepsy patients and compa...

[1] Following an El Niño event, a basin-wide warming takes place over the tropical Indian Ocean, peaks in late boreal winter and early spring, and persists through boreal summer. Our observational analysis suggests that this Indian Ocean warming induces robust climatic anomalies in the summer Indo-West Pacific region, prolonging the El Niño’s influence after tropical East Pacific sea surface te...

Text-to-speech synthesis in Indian English is useful for delivering messages stored in computers and web to the Indian users unfamiliar with standard English accent. Such work is going on at TIFR and the paper reports the salient features of the front-end language processor that generates pronunciation plus stress information. The important components of the language processor are the parser to...
