This paper proposes several improvements to the correlationbased location features recently used in meeting speaker diarization. A speech-specific alternative to the generalized cross correlation phase transform (GCC-PHAT) algorithm is tested and shown to provide equal or better results without noise reduction or continuity-enforcing smoothing. The limitations of a single correlation reference ...

In this paper, Exchange and Correlation energies of boron nitride with the formula of B12N12 are calculated by using the DFT methods with STO-3G, 6-31G AND 6-311G basis sets. The optimized structure and electronic properties calculations for the studied molecule have been performed using Gaussian 09 program. A mathematical equation of second grade was exploited for the correlation and exchange ...

In this article, the authors evaluate a merit function for 2D/3D registration called stochastic rank correlation (SRC). SRC is characterized by the fact that differences in image intensity do not influence the registration result; it therefore combines the numerical advantages of cross correlation (CC)-type merit functions with the flexibility of mutual-information-type merit functions. The bas...

Based on a realistic model for the meson in free space we investigate its medium modiications through rescattering in a hot hadron gas. Within the vector dominance model the corresponding in-medium spectral function is applied to calculate e + e ? spectra in central Pb+Au as measured by the CERES collaboration at CERN-SpS energies; we also compare to results obtained with the assumption of a 'd...

We demonstrate the evolution of picosecond pulses in silicon nanowire waveguides by sum frequency generation cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (SFG-XFROG) and nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) modeling. Due to the unambiguous temporal direction and ultrahigh sensitivity of the SFG-XFROG, which enable observation of the pulse accelerations, the captured pulses' temporal and...

We report rigorous quantum calculations of the inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of HD@C₆₀, over a range of temperatures from 0 to 240 K and for two incident neutron wavelengths used in recent experimental investigations. The computations were performed using our newly developed methodology, which incorporates the coupled five-dimensional translation-rotation (T-R) eigenstates of the g...

The study of surface phonon dispersion curves is motivated by the quest for a detailed understanding of the forces between the atoms at the surface and in the bulk. In the case of graphene, additional motivation comes from the fact that thermal conductivity is dominated by contributions from acoustic phonons, while optical phonon properties are essential to understand Raman spectra. In this art...

Effects of disorder and exciton-phonon interactions are the major factors controlling photoinduced dynamics and energy-transfer processes in conjugated organic semiconductors, thus defining their electronic functionality. All-atom quantum-chemical simulations are potentially capable of describing such phenomena in complex "soft" organic structures, yet they are frequently computationally restri...
