K-theory for group C*-algebras
No full textThese notes are based on a lecture course given by the first author in the Sedano Winter School on K-theory held in Sedano, Spain, on January 22-27th of 2007. They aim at introducing K-theory of C*-algebras, equivariant K-homology and KK-theory in the context of the Baum-Connes conjectur
EXTENDED BAUM TRANSFORMATIONS FOR GENERAL FUNCTIONS, II
No full textThe discrimination technique for estimating the parameters of Gaussian mixtures that is based on the Extended Baum transformations (EB) has had significant impact on the speech recognition community. The proof that definitively shows that these transformations increase the value of an objective function with iteration (i.e., so-called "growth transformations") was presented by the author two years ago for a diagonal Gaussian mixture densities. In this paper this proof is extended to a multidimensional multivariate Gaussian mixtures. The proof presented in the current paper is based on the linearization process and the explicit growth estimate for linear forms of Gaussian mixtures

Wordplay in the L. Frank Baum Fantasies
No full textLyman Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900) and thirteen other Oz books, also wrote many fantasies for children that did not have Oz as a setting. In all these books he liked to make up names for persons, places, and things. These names often involved word play. Puns were the most common form, but Baum also indulged in anagrams, spoonerisms, reversals, and other forms of linguistic whimsies

Student research highlight: Simultaneous tracking and shape estimation of extended targets
No full textTarget tracking algorithms are usually based on the assumption that the target extent is small compared to the measurement noise; hence, the target is modeled as a mathematical point. However, if the target extent is rather large, the target may cause multiple sensor measurements from different spatially distributed reflection centers. In this case, the modeling of the target extent is essential. In particular, the author looks at the random hypersurface model and its role in tracking; the tracking method is evaluated using a Microsoft ® Kinect™ sensor as an example
L. Frank Baum Collection
No full textThe L. Frank Baum collection includes two manuscripts by the American children's book author, who is best known for writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). The manuscripts represent The Magic of Oz (published posthumously in 1919) and The Tin Woodman of Oz (1918). The Magic of Oz is written on the versos of two earlier manuscripts published under the pseudonym Edith Van Dyne.
This collection was digitized as part of Project REVEAL (Read and View English & American Literature)
Property A and affine buildings
No full textYu's Property A is a non-equivariant generalisation of amenability introduced in his study of the coarse Baum Connes conjecture. In this paper we show that all affine buildings of type A2, B2 and G2 have Property A. Together with results of Guentner, Higson and Weinberger, this completes a programme to show that all affine building have Property A. In passing we use our technique to obtain a new proof for groups acting on buildings.The author was supported by EPSRC postdoctoral fellowship EP/C53171X/1.<br/
