Improving alignments for better confusion networks for combining machine translation systems
The state-of-the-art system combination method for machine translation (MT) is the word-based combination using confusion networks. One of the crucial steps in confusion network decoding is the alignment of different…

Noninteractive Statistical Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Lattice Problems
We construct noninteractive statistical zero-knowledge (NISZK) proof systems for a variety of standard approximation problems on lattices, such as the shortest independent vectors problem and the complement of the shortest vector problem.

Genetic Influences in the Variation in Renal Clearance of Nicotine and Cotinine
In this study of 139 pairs of twins, we have estimated the genetic and environmental contributions to total renal clearance and net secretory/ reabsorptive clearance of nicotine and cotinine.

Model Driven Segmentation of Articulating Humans in Laplacian Eigenspace
We propose a general approach using Laplacian Eigenmaps and a graphical model of the human body to segment 3D voxel data of humans into different articulated chains. In the bottom-up…

Fuel 109-New Proton Conductive Composite Materials with Inorganic and Styrene Grafted and Sulfonated Vdf/Ctfe Fluoropolymers
To understand the effect of different membrane components on its properties, thermal properties of composites have been investigated. It was found that the content of CTFE units, St and sulfonic…

Adamantyl-Substituted Retinoid-Derived Molecules That Interact with the Orphan Nuclear Receptor Small Heterodimer Partner: Effects of Replacing the 1-Adamantyl or Hydroxyl Groupon Inhibition of Cancer Cell Growth, Induction of Cancer Cell Apoptosis, and Inhibition of Src Homology 2 Domain-Containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase-2 Activity
Abstract (E)-4-[3-(1-Adamantyl)-4′-hydroxyphenyl]-3-chlorocinnamic acid (3-Cl-AHPC) induces the cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis of leukemia and cancer cells. Studies demonstrated that 3-Cl-AHPC bound to the atypical orphan nuclear receptor small heterodimer partner (SHP).…

In Vivo Evidence for Alcohol-Induced Neurochemical Changes in Rat Brain Without Protracted Withdrawal, Pronounced Thiamine Deficiency, or Severe Liver Damage
Longitudinal effects of alcohol on brain metabolites measured in basal ganglia with single-voxel MRS were investigated in sibling pairs of wild-type Wistar rats, with one rat per pair exposed to…

17 Alpha-Estradiol: a Less-Feminizing Estrogen
A substantial number of studies report that 17β-estradiol (E2; estrogen), a potent endogenous feminizing hormone, is neuroprotective.

How Do We Certify for the Unexpected?
We propose that safety cases based on explicit goals, evidence, and argument provide a firmer foundation for assurance, and a framework within which it is possible to address the rare…
