Two works related to the concept of probability in the framework of the manyworlds interpretation are presented. The first deals with recent controversy in classical probability theory. Elga and D. Lewis argues that Sleeping Beauty should have different credences for result of a fair coin toss in a particular situation. It is argued that when the coin is replaced by a quantum coin, the credence...

Walleye (Sander vitreus) are typically associated with shoals, drop offs, or in aquatic vegetation near shore (Foust and Haynes 2007), while in some lakes and reservoirs walleye make more use of pelagic waters (Ager 1976; Festa 1987; Palmer 2005, Byrne et al. 2009). Walleye have been stocked at a target rate of 80,000/year from 2000-2006 and 40,000/year since 2007. Here, walleye occupy rocky sh...

Retraction: Retracted: siRNA mediated silencing of NIN1/RPN12 binding protein 1 homolog inhibits proliferation and growth of breast cancer cells Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention has retracted the article titled “siRNA mediated silencing of NIN1/RPN12 binding protein 1 homolog inhibits proliferation and growth of breast cancer cells”(1) for reason of similarity with a series of articl...

In recent years, the utility of providing highfrequency amplification to some hearing-impaired individuals has been questioned. Specifically, in some cases, the provision of gain in the high frequencies may fail to improve speech perception or even result in a decrease in performance (Skinner 1980; Murray and Byrne 1986; Rankovic 1991; Ching, Dillon and Byrne 1998; Hogan and Turner 1998; Turner...

In this paper we present early work on an animated talking head commentary system called Byrne. The goal of this project is to develop a system which can take the output from the RoboCup soccer simulator, and generate appropriate affective speech and facial expressions, based on the character’s personality, emotional state, and the state of play. Here we describe a system which takes pre-analys...

We quantitatively investigate how the telephone channel and regional dialect might impact formant frequencies estimates extracted from tools commonly used in law enforcement. The telephone channel and regional dialect are important factors in forensic phonetics. In 90% of forensic cases, the speech sample in question is recorded after transmission via telephone (Byrne and Foulkes, 2004). In add...

To the Editor: Predictable rhythmic fluctuations, especially circadian, have been observed in a wide variety of physiologicai and psychological functions. Abno~a~ities of circadian patterns have been documented in people with depression, including a tendency for maximal severity of depression in the morning; however, patients with anxiety or mixed depression/anxiety report a tendency for sympto...
