Gaussian Mixture Models∗ Douglas Reynolds MIT Lincoln Laboratory‚ 244 Wood St.‚ Lexington‚ MA 02140‚ USA dar@ll.mit.edu Synonyms GMM; Mixture model; Gaussian mixture density Definition A Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is a parametric probability density function represented as a weighted sum of Gaussian component densities. GMMs are commonly used as a parametric model of the probability distribution of continuous measurements or features in a biometric system‚ such as vocal-tract related

| Distillation is defined as: `Distillation is based on the fact that the vapor of a boiling mixture will be richer in the components that have lower boiling points.Therefore‚ when this vapor is cooled and condensed‚ the condensate will contain more volatile components. At the same time‚ the original mixture will contain more of the less volatile material. Distillation columns are designed to achieve this separation efficiently.Although many people have a fair idea what “distillation” means‚ the

In “Helping Students Use Textual Sources Persuasively‚” Margaret Kantz talks about how individuals should read texts to write a synthesis essay. To write a synthesis essay‚ one should be able to come up with an argument and find information from other sources‚ and use them as proofs to back up the argument. First‚ Kantz talks about the mistakes that students usually make when they write this essay. For instance‚ Shirley made a mistake by reading a repeating and telling the story instead of creating

Multistep Synthesis of Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Author: Instructor: Date work performed: 10.18.2012--10.25.2012 Date work submitted: 11.01.2012 Abstract: The aim of this experiment was to perform a multistep synthesis to form tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The first step of the reactions was to synthesize benzoin from the condensation of benzaldehyde. A yield of 28.91% benzoin was obtained. The MP of benzoin was 127O-130O C and the IR spectra displayed a carbonyl peak at 3415 cm-1

Deals with knowledge are experienced informations. It is a matter of active doing that involves the use of the body and the handling of material. The theory states that students must not only be told to study but they must be taught how to study effectively and be given drills to apply the knowledge that they have learned in actual setting. Therefore they can gain knowledge more efficiently. Learning by doing is the way most folks ultimately learn anything and everything. If knowledge is power‚ then
