(INVITED)INVESTIGATION OF INTENSE VISIBLE DEFECT LUMINESCENCE FROM VISIBLE AND INFRARED PUMPED BARIUM FLUOROSILICATE GLASS-CORE FIBER

(INVITED)Investigation of intense visible defect luminescence from visible and infrared pumped barium fluorosilicate glass-core fiber

FRESH KELP Optically active defects in silica have been studied for decades and are often indicators of network irregularities such as those that might result from optical or mechanical damage.They are well-known to be weak emitters and are usually present in relatively low concentration, thus precluding their use in a wide range of applications, i

Graded Proteasome Dysfunction in Caenorhabditis elegans Activates an Adaptive Response Involving the Conserved SKN-1 and ELT-2 Transcription Factors and the Autophagy-Lysosome Pathway.

The maintenance of cellular proteins in a biologically active and structurally stable state is a vital endeavor involving multiple cellular pathways.One such pathway is the ubiquitin-proteasome system that represents a major route for protein degradation, and reductions in this pathway usually have adverse effects on the health of cells and tissues

A ROBUST ENSEMBLE MODEL FOR SPOKEN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION

The identity of a language being spoken has been tackled over the years via statistical models on audio samples.A drawback of these Receiving Scales approaches is the unavailability of phonetically transcribed data for all languages.This work proposes an approach based on image classification that utilized image representations of audio samples.Our
