The Prototype International Data Center (PIDC) began standard processing of data from the first of the new International Monitoring System’s (IMS) hydrophone stations in November 2000. The station (designated HA08) is located off the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean (Lawrence et al, 2000). This is the first IMS hydroacoustic station that allows for coherent multi-sensor waveform processin...

Automatic Speaker Recognition (ASR) is an economic method of biometrics because of the availability of the low cost and powerful processors. Results of ASR are highly dependent on database, i.e., the results obtained in an ASR system are meaningless if the recording conditions are not of standard. In this paper, a methodology and a typical experimental setup used for development of corpora for ...

The aim of present study was to determine the chronology of third molar root mineralization and to establish south Indian reference data. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was undertaken by evaluating 192 intraoral periapical radiographs in order to assess the root mineralization status of the mandibular third molar of south Indian individuals (101 males and 91 females) between the age of 13 a...

power, even in some areas of science and technology. In addition to other recognized parameters, scholarly journals of a country to a great extent reflect the quality of science being done. It is well known and accepted that our science and technology journals are not up the international standard1,2. Medical science is no exception despite Indian doctors excelling both in India and abroad. Abo...

We discuss total cross-sections within the context of the QCD calculable mini-jet model, highlighting its successes and failures. In particular we show its description of γγ → hadrons and compare it with OPAL and L3 data. We extrapolate this result to γ p total cross-sections and propose a phenomenological ansätz for virtual photon cross-sections. We point out that the good agreement with data ...
