ecent experimental results [1,2] suggest that optical fiers having a negative index step from cladding to core, ombined with an adequately large gain coefficient in a arge-diameter core region, can provide robust single ransverse mode operation having very large mode area ithout requiring complex fiber structures or other mode iscrimination measures. This paper reviews the imporant mode propert...

These notes extensively use material from course notes of Lars Arge, David Mount, COMP 2805/3803 Notes of myself and Michiel Smid [10], CLRS book [3], Knuth’s Art of Computer Programming [8], Kleinberg and Tardos Algorithms book [7], Ullman et al’s book on Algorithms for Massive Data Sets [13]. They are updated occasionally. I have used part of this material for graduate course COMP 5703 on Alg...

The predator Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is a polyphagous species that has, among its wide range of acceptable prey, the aphid Macrosiphum rosae (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an important pest rose plants. We assessed consumption nymphs and adults M. by C. larvae, predatory efficiency, larval survival under different predator:prey ratios, densities aph...

A model for possib1e neural mechanisms specialized in the detection of articulatoryacoustic events is described. The model comprises two types of channels respectively specialized for onset and offset events. All channels are organized in parallel, and further process the spatiotemporal diseilarge pattem of the auditory nerve fibers which is simulated by a model incorporating the cochlear filte...

We study a simple ow control method for ATM networks cal l ed peri odi c averaging of rate (PARing). Thi s method attempts to reduce the burstiness of tra c by bu ering. We present asymptoti c resul ts, obtained via the theory of l arge deviati ons, on the memory requi rements, the multiplexing gainof PARed sources, and the tradeo s between bu ering inside and outside of the network. We di scus...

We present a Multi-State Time Del ay Neural Network (MS-TDNN) for speaker-i ndependent, connected l etter recogni ti on. Our MS-TDNNachi eves 98. 5/92.0% word accuracy on speaker dependent/i ndependent Engl i sh l etter tasks[7, 8]. In thi s paper we wi l l summari ze several techni ques to improve (a) conti nuous recogni ti on performance, such as sentence l evel trai ni ng, and (b) phoneti c ...

Studies of human continuous-speech recognition suggest that Iistencrs use a strategy of postulating a word boundary, and initiating a lexical access procedure, at each metrically strong syllable. The likely success of this strategy was here estimated against the characteristics of the English vocabulary. Computerised dictionaries of Engtish were found to Iist approximately three times as many w...
