We present Arecibo time-aligned, total intensity profiles for 46 pulsars over an unusually wide range of radio frequencies and multi-frequency, polarization-angle density diagrams and/or polarization profiles for 58 pulsars pulsars at some or all of the frequencies 50, 111/130, 430 and 1400 MHz. The frequency-dependent dispersion delay has been removed In order to align the profiles for study of their spectral evolution and wherever possible the profiles of each pulsar are displayed on the same longitude scale. Most of the pulsars within Arecibos declination range that are sufficiently bright for such spectral or single pulse analysis are included in this survey--and the calibrated pulse sequences are available by web download for further study.

Since the launch of the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, several hundred gamma-ray pulsars have been discovered, some being radio-loud and some radio-quiet with time-aligned radio and gamma-ray light curves. In the second Fermi Pulsar Catalogue, 117 new gamma-ray pulsars have been reported based on three years of data collected by the Large Area Telescope on the Fermi satellite, providing a wealth of information such as the peak separation~$Delta$ of the gamma-ray pulsations and the radio lag~$delta$ between the gamma-ray and radio pulses. We selected several radio-loud millisecond gamma-ray pulsars with period~$P$ in the range 2-6~ms and showing a double peak in their gamma-ray profiles. We attempted to constrain the geometry of their magnetosphere, namely the magnetic axis and line-of-sight inclination angles for each of these systems. We applied a force-free dipole magnetosphere from the stellar surface up to the striped wind region -- well outside the light cylinder -- to fit the observed pulse profiles in gamma-rays, consistently with their phase alignment with the radio profile. In deciding whether a fitted curve is reasonable or not, we employed a least-square method to compare the observed gamma-ray intensity with that found from our model, emphasising the amplitude of the gamma-ray peaks, their separation, and the phase lag between radio and gamma-ray peaks. We obtained the best fits and reasonable parameters in agreement with observations for ten millisecond pulsars. Eventually, we constrained the geometry of each pulsar described by the magnetic inclination~$alpha$ and the light-of-sight inclination~$zeta$. We found that both angles are larger than approximately~$45^{rm o}$.
The recently started Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) pulsar survey aims to find ~1000 new pulsars. Due to its high time and frequency resolution the survey is especially sensitive to millisecond pulsars, which have the potential to test gravitationa l theories, detect gravitational waves and probe the neutron-star equation of state. Here we report the results of our preliminary analysis: in the first months we have discovered 21 new pulsars. One of these, PSR J1906+0746, is a young 144-ms pulsar in a highly relativistic 3.98-hr low-eccentricity orbit. The 2.61 +- 0.02 solar-mass system is expected to coalesce in ~300 Myr and contributes significantly to the computed cosmic inspiral rate of compact binary systems.
We present radio transient search algorithms, results, and statistics from the ongoing Arecibo Pulsar ALFA (PALFA) Survey of the Galactic plane. We have discovered seven objects by detecting isolated dispersed pulses and one of the new discoveries ha s a duty cycle of 0.01%, the smallest known. The impact of selection effects on the detectability and classification of intermittent sources is discussed, and the relative efficiencies of periodicity vs. single pulse searches are compared for various pulsar classes. We find that scintillation, off-axis detection and few rotation periods within an observation may misrepresent normal periodic pulsars as intermittent sources. Finally, we derive constraints on transient pulse rate and flux density from the PALFA survey parameters and results.
Conventional speech enhancement technique such as beamforming has known benefits for far-field speech recognition. Our own work in frequency-domain multi-channel acoustic modeling has shown additional improvements by training a spatial filtering laye r jointly within an acoustic model. In this paper, we further develop this idea and use frequency aligned network for robust multi-channel automatic speech recognition (ASR). Unlike an affine layer in the frequency domain, the proposed frequency aligned component prevents one frequency bin influencing other frequency bins. We show that this modification not only reduces the number of parameters in the model but also significantly and improves the ASR performance. We investigate effects of frequency aligned network through ASR experiments on the real-world far-field data where users are interacting with an ASR system in uncontrolled acoustic environments. We show that our multi-channel acoustic model with a frequency aligned network shows up to 18% relative reduction in word error rate.

We present an analysis of archival multi-frequency Very Large Array monitoring data of the two-image gravitational lens system CLASS B1600+434, including the polarization properties at 8.5 GHz. From simulating radio light curves incorporating realist ic external variability in image A, we find time delays consistent at 1 $sigma$ for all frequencies and in total flux density and polarization. The delay with the smallest uncertainty (total flux density at 8.5 GHz) is $42.3^{+2.0}_{-1.8}$ (random) $pm 0.5$ (systematic) d (equivalent to $42.3 pm 2.1$ d) whereas combining all delay estimates gives a slightly higher value of $43.6pm1.2$ d. Both values are lower than the previously published radio result and inconsistent with that found in the optical. $H_0$ determination is difficult due to the complicated lensing mass and the lack of constraints provided by only two images. However, analysis of archival Very Long Baseline Interferometry data reveals jets in this system for the first time, the orientations of which provide model constraints. In addition, extremely sensitive maps made from combining all the monitoring data reveal faint emission on one side of the lensing galaxy which we speculate might be the result of a naked-cusp lensing configuration. Finally, we find clear evidence for external variability in image A on time-scales of days to years, the frequency-dependence of which supports the previous conclusion that this is predominantly due to microlensing. External variability seems to be completely absent in image B and this does not appear to be a consequence of scatter-broadening in the interstellar medium of the lensing galaxy.
