martingale convergence theorem (for square integrable martingales) and the optional stopping theorem are proved here, with many examples. The remaining four chapters are on more general random processes; here we have stationary processes, diffusions, renewal theory and queueing theory. My feeling is that these chapters are less successful than the earlier ones. For one thing, there are already ...

ical—i.e., that a pregnant teenager who is still growing may be competing for nutrients with the fetus, or that pregnancy within two years after menarche increases the risk of preterm delivery.4 Psychological factors may also be involved, since many adolescent pregnancies are unplanned, unwanted or discovered late;5 a pregnant teenager may lack the emotional maturity to take responsibility for ...

We analyze a collection of 3208 reported errors of Chinese words. Among these errors, 7.2% involved rarely used character, and 98.4% were assigned common classifications of their causes by human subjects. In particular, 80% of the errors observed in the writings of middle school students were related to the pronunciations and 30% were related to the logographs of the words. We conducted experim...

The currently dominant speech recognition technology, hidden Markov modeling, has long been criticized for its simplistic assumptions about speech, and especially for the naive Bayes combination rule inherent in it. Many sophisticated alternative models have been suggested over the last decade. These, however, have demonstrated only modest improvements and brought no paradigm shift in technolog...

Content Centric Network (CCN) is an emerging information centric network design. There are a lot of studies focusing on caching, applications and so on to make CCN getting perfect, while the scalability of Pending Interest Table (PIT) is still one of the primary concerns of high-speed forwarding. In this paper, we make an attempt to compress PIT with bloom filter. This paper has two contributio...
