In this paper we propose the use of infinite models for the clustering of speakers. Speaker segmentation is obtained trough a Dirichlet Process Mixture (DPM) model which can be interpreted as a flexible model with an infinite a priori number of components. Learning is based on a Variational Bayesian approximation of the infinite sequence. DPM model is compared with fixed prior systems learned b...

GM2 and GA2 gangliosides from the brain of a patient who died of Sandhoff's disease were purified by solvent partition, silicic acid and silica gel column chromatography, and silica gel preparative thin-layer chromatography. They were tritiated in the terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residue using galactose oxidase and sodium [3H]borohydride with the inclusion of catalase and peroxidase into the ...

Accelerated soil erosion and landslides are destructive consequences of road development intensive agriculture in the central highlands Sri Lanka. Properly designed vegetation covers can play a vital role control. Identifying plant that adapt to eroded land with low-nutrient supply is critical for natural management. A perennial creeper legume, Vigna marina, adaptable marginal lands used contro...

運動や変形を伴う対象に対してプロジェクションマッピングを施すダイナミックプロジェクションマッピング(DPM) に関する研究が盛んに行われ，多彩な発展を見せている．本稿ではプロジェクションマッピングとDPM では要求されるシステムの高速性が決定的に異なることを指摘し，その高速性を実現する高速ビジョンチップや高速プロジェクタ，高速画像処理といった高速ビジョン技術群を紹介する．更に，これら高速ビジョン技術を用いて無拘束かつ多次元の表現に向けて進化を続けているDPM の応用研究について解説する．

A new sample introduction method of nebulized film dielectric barrier discharge (NFDBD) assisted chelate vapor generation coupled with inductively plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for trace rare earth elements (REEs) determination in environmental water was developed this work. Using 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione (DPM) as chelating reagent, the volatile and stable chelates REE-DPM were ...

Business Process Redesign (BPR) projects are considered to be high risk due to their high management complexity, enterprisewide impact, and steep project cost. This paper describes a technique that should reduce that risk by developing a systematic process redesign method that we call Dynamic Process Modeling (DPM). It integrates customer-oriented process modeling with computerized visual proce...

One of the most important considerations for the current VLSI/SOC design is power, which can be classified into power analysis and optimization. In this survey, the main concepts of power optimization including the sources and policies are introduced. Among the various approaches, dynamic power management (DPM), which implies to change devices states when they are not working at the highest spe...
