Purpose: Speech perception in participants with auditory neuropathy (AN) was systematically studied to answer the following 2 questions: Does noise present a particular problem for people with AN? Can clear speech and cochlear implants alleviate this problem? Method: The researchers evaluated the advantage in intelligibility of clear speech over conversational speech in 13 participants with AN....

A number of jurisdictions have been experimenting with new problem-oriented policing frameworks to understand and respond to gun violence among gang-involved offenders. These interventions are based on the “pulling levers” deterrence strategy that focuses criminal justice and social service attention on a small number of chronically offending gang members responsible for the bulk of urban gun v...

In this paper, we present a series of experiments in which we analyze the usage of graffiti style features for signaling personal gang identification in a large, online street gangs forum, with an accuracy as high as 83% at the gang alliance level and 72% for the specific gang. We then build on that result in predicting how members of different gangs signal the relationship between their gangs ...

Gang scheduling is currently the most popular scheduling scheme for parallel processing in a time shared environment. One major drawback of using gang scheduling is the problem of fragmentation. The conventional method to alleviate this problem is to allow jobs running in multiple time slots. However, our experimental results show that simply applying this method alone cannot solve the problem ...

Youth gang activity is on the rise again since declining from its peak in the early 2000s. We focus on contagion of youth gang membership and delinquency among adolescents who are at risk to peer pressure by creating an epidemiological model with differential equations. The model seeks to examine dynamics of the system through stability analysis. A tipping point that spreads youth gang activity...
