In this paper we put forward a generalization of the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) Model of Engle (2002). Our model allows for asset-specific correlation sensitivities, which is useful in particular if one aims to summarize a large number of asset returns. The resultant GDCC model is considered for daily data on 18 German stock returns, which are all included in the DAX, and for 25 UK s...

We present results relevant to tasks involved in the confidence scoring of output from a continuous speech recognition system, including the search for predictor variables and model selection. We introduce the DET curve characteristic (DCC) score, which we use along with the normalized cross entropy (NCE) score, to perform the model and predictor variable evaluation. We also show results from e...

DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) is a candidate tumor suppressor gene recently identified on chromosome band 18q21. Loss of one DCC allele or decreased DCC expression occurs in more than 70% of colorectal cancers, suggesting that DCC inactivation constitutes a critical event in the development of these tumors. Using polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNA, we have studied DCC expressi...

We present further empirical and qualitative results for both image and video description. For the image description task, we explore averaging weight vectors before transfer, illustrate errors made by the model when no unpaired text data is used during training and provide descriptions generated by DCC for a large variety of novel object categories in ImageNet. For the video description task, ...

Since 2008, X-ray structure depositions to the Protein Data Bank archive (PDB) have required submission of experimental data in the form of structure factor files. RCSB PDB has developed the program DCC to allow worldwide PDB (wwPDB; http://wwpdb.org) biocurators, using a single command-line program, to invoke a number of third-party software packages to compare the model file with the experime...

We consider the quantum state describing the Disoriented Chiral Condensate (DCC), which may be produced in high energy collisions. We show how a mean field treatment of the quantum equations corresponding to the classical linear sigma model leads to a squeezed state description of the pions emerging from the DCC. We examine various squeezed and coherent state descriptions of those pions with pa...

The dose conversion coefficient (DCC) is used to assess the risk due to inhaled radon progeny in the human lung. The present work uses the microdosimetric approach and determines the linear energy transfer in the target cell nuclei. Killing of target cells was also taken into account through an effect-specific track length model. To focus on the relevant part of the absorbed dose in the cell nu...

Francisella tularensis causes pulmonary tularemia and death in humans when left untreated. Here, using a novel aerosol infection model, we show that acute pulmonary Francisella novicida infection not only causes pneumonia and liver damage, but also induces dystrophic cardiac calcinosis (DCC) in BALB/c mice. C57BL/6 mice also develop pneumonia and hepatic damage, but fail to develop DCC. Develop...

BACKGROUND Delayed umbilical cord clamping (DCC) permits placental-to-newborn transfusion and results in an increased neonatal blood volume at birth. Despite endorsement by numerous medical governing bodies, DCC in preterm newborns has been slow to be adopted into practice. The purpose of this article is to provide a framework to guide medical providers interested in implementing DCC in a hospi...
