Preparing Teachers to Design Sequences of Instruction in Earth Systems Science: a Comparison of Three Professional Development Programs
The efficacy of three professional development programs and a control condition was compared in a cluster randomized trial.

Analysis and comparison of recent MLP features for LVCSR systems
This paper aims at providing a fair comparison of these recent progresses including the use of different long/short temporal inputs and the use of complex architectures that go beyond the…

Constrained cepstral speaker recognition using matched UBM and JFA training
We study constrained speaker recognition systems, or systems that model standard cepstral features that fall within particular types of speech regions.
-
Ontologies and Tools for Analysing and Composing Simulation Confederations for the Training and Testing Domains
We describe a complementary approach that uses Web Ontology Language and Semantic Web Rule Language to capture information about the roles and capabilities required to complete a task, and the…

The Dynamics of the Urge-To-Smoke Following Smoking Cessation Via Pharmacotherapy
The associations of trajectory parameters with relapse were relatively uninfluenced by demographics and smoking history.
-
Transverse Mercator with an Accuracy of a Few Nanometers
Implementations of two algorithms for the transverse Mercator projection are described; these achieve accuracies close to machine precision.

Efficient Methods for Lifted Inference with Aggregate Factors
We propose an exact solution constant in n when k = 2 for certain aggregate operations such as AND, OR and SUM, and (b) a close approximation for inference with aggregate factors with time…

Robust Substrate Profiling Method Reveals Striking Differences in Specificities of Serum and Lung Fluid Proteases
We hypothesized that a combinatorial protease substrate library could be used effectively to identify similarities and differences between serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), two body fluids that are clinically…

Using Prosodic and Spectral Features in Detecting Depression in Elderly Males
In this study, we focus on speech features that can identify the speaker’s emotional health, i.e., whether the speaker is depressed or not.
-
iVector fusion of prosodic and cepstral features for speaker verification
In this paper we apply the promising iVector extraction technique followed by PLDA modeling to simple prosodic contour features.

Sensitivity to Secondhand Smoke Exposure Predicts Future Smoking Susceptibility
This study investigated whether sensitivity to secondhand smoke exposure (SHSe) contributes to smoking susceptibility.

Automatic detection of speaker attributes based on utterance text
We present models for detecting various attributes of a speaker based on uttered text alone.
