One way to deal with the complexity of today’s software systems is model-driven development (MDD), where the target software system is first modeled on a very abstract level in a platform-independent way (e.g., by using UML use cases), and then—step by step—refined. The final, platform-specific model contains enough information to serve as input for code generation of the target system. MDD has...

The state-of-the-art i-vector based probabilistic linear discriminant analysis (PLDA) trained on non-target (or outdomain) data significantly affects the speaker verification performance due to the domain mismatch between training and evaluation data. To improve the speaker verification performance, sufficient amount of domain mismatch compensated out-domain data must be used to train the PLDA ...

The decision making model (DMM) [1, 2] has been shown to generate phase transitions, to be topologically complex and to manifest temporal complexity through size-dependent random fluctuations in the switching times between the two critical states of consensus. These properties are entailed by the fundamental assumption that the network elements in the DMM imperfectly imitate one another. The pr...

Recycling of a number of glycoproteins along the site of action of mannosidase I (the distal endoplasmic reticulum/cis-Golgi) was followed in several different cell lines. Treatment of cells with 1-deoxymannojirimycin (dMM) produced high mannose oligosaccharides at positions otherwise occupied by complex-type oligosaccharides in these glycoproteins. Conversion of high-mannose-type oligosacchari...

In a previous paper (Bohn et al., Carbohydr. Res., 2007, 342, 2522) the relative O3/O4 reactivities of both alpha- and beta-methyl glycosides of N-dimethylmaleoyl (DMM) glucosamine acceptors protected at O6 with three different groups were assessed by us, using two glycosyl donors. The alpha-anomers showed preferential or exclusive substitution at O3, whereas the beta-anomers gave preferential ...

We derive an estimate for the chemical composition of the depleted MORB mantle (DMM), the source reservoir to mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs), which represents at least 30% the mass of the whole silicate Earth. A database for the chemical and physical properties of abyssal peridotites has become robust and complete enough to truly access a reference DMM. Using trace element depletion trends fro...

This study compared aspects of the functioning of mothers with borderline personality disorder (BPD) to those of mothers without psychiatric disorder using two different conceptualizations of attachment theory. The Adult Attachment Interviews (AAIs) of 32 mothers were classified using both the Main and Goldwyn method (M&G) and the Dynamic-Maturational Model method (DMM). We found that mothers w...

This document defines the requirements for Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) at the network layer. The hierarchical structure in traditional wireless networks has led primarily to centrally deployed mobility anchors. As some wireless networks are evolving away from the hierarchical structure, it can be useful to have a distributed model for mobility management in which traffic does not need...

A hierarchical methodology for process design and evaluation reveals how the remarkable achievements in catalyst development dimethoxymethane (DMM) synthesis can make DMM a sustainable future e-fuel.

A novel approach for auditory localization of broad-band high frequency acoustic stimuli is presented. Computational models for extracting localization cues from estimations of the incoming sound spectra at the two ears are developed. These models can be structured as feedforward networks to classify binau-ral ratio patterns of Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTF). The computational models st...
