Acoustic room modeling has several applications. Recent results using large microphone arrays show good performance, and are helpful in many applications. For example, when designing a better acoustic treatment for a concert hall, these large arrays can be used to help map the acoustic environment and aid in the design. However, in real-time applications - including de-reverberation, sound source localization, speech enhancement and 3D audio - it is desirable to model the room with existing small arrays and existing loudspeakers. In this paper we propose a novel room modeling algorithm, which uses a constrained room model and l_(1)-regularized least-squares to achieve good estimation of room geometry. We present experimental results on both real and synthetic data.

The accurate evaluation of short-circuit currents is significant for the estimation of the maximum thermal and mechanical stress in electrical equipment and for the protection coordination of power systems. The IEC-60909 standard is widely used for the calculation of maximum and minimum short-circuit currents. The calculation according to the ANSI standard is also a reliable tool for the proper selection of circuit breakers. Symmetrical and asymmetrical fault currents in a typical topology of an isolated synchronous generator feeding local loads, fault current results are calculated using IEC-60909 and ANSI standards and are compared to the corresponding obtained by the dynamic simulation using ATP/EMTP. The influence of different network parameters as well as of some simplifying assumptions on generator modeling in both standards is systematically investigated and differences between the static and the dynamic analysis are examined.

Shielding of buried three phase high voltage cables can be done by placing the cables in conducting ferromagnetic U-shaped gutters covered by plates. In case of a perfect electrical contact between adjacent gutters and between adjacent cover plates, the induced currents in the shield efficiently reduce the field generated in the vicinity of the cables. However, as a perfect contact cannot be guaranteed, it is useful to quantify the effect of a bad electrical contact on the shielding performance. From 2D FEM, 3D FEM and experiments, it is observed that a bad contact does not influence significantly the shielding if the axial length of the plates is relatively long compared to their other dimensions.

Background: Text mining challenges have been organised to measure the performance of automatic text mining solutions against a manually annotated gold standard corpus (GSC). The preparation of the GSC is timeconsuming and costly and the final corpus consists at the most of a few thousand documents annotated with a limited set of semantic groups. To overcome these shortcomings, the CALBC project partners (PPs) have produced a large-scale annotated biomedical corpus with four different semantic groups through the harmonisation of annotations from automatic text mining solutions, the first version of the Silver Standard Corpus (SSC-I). The four semantic groups were chemical entities and drugs (CHED), genes and proteins (PRGE), diseases and disorders (DISO) and species (SPE). This corpus has been used for the First CALBC Challenge asking the participants to annotate the corpus with their annotation solutions.

Parallel storage systems have been highly scalable and widely used in support of data-intensive applications. In future systems with the nature of massive data processing and storing, hybrid storage systems opt for a solution to fulfill a variety of demands such as large storage capacity, high I/O performance and low cost. Hybrid storage systems (HSS) contain both high-end storage components (e.g. solid-state disks and hard disk drives) to guarantee performance, and low-end storage components (e.g. tapes) to reduce cost. In HSS, transferring data back and forth among solid-state disks (SSDs), hard disk drives (HDDs), and tapes plays a critical role in achieving high I/O performance. Prefetching is a promising solution to reduce the latency of data transferring in HSS. However, prefetching in the context of HSS is technically challenging due to an interesting dilemma: aggressive prefetching is required to efficiently reduce I/O latency, whereas overaggressive prefetching may waste I/O bandwidth by transferring useless data from HDDs to SSDs or from tapes to HDDs. To address this problem, we propose a multi-layer prefetching algorithm that can judiciously prefetch data from tapes to HDDs and from HDDs to SSDs. To evaluate our algorithm, we develop an analytical model and the experimental results reveal that our prefetching algorithm improves the performance in hybrid storage systems.
