This paper discusses the use of a secondary likelihood classifier scheme for improving speaker recognition performance. The system models the output likelihoods of a typical Gaussian Mixture Model system across multiple speakers. The Output Probability Distributions (OPD) of the primary classifiers contain information on inter-speaker relationships, and are modelled by secondary classifiers to ...

Skin smear bacteriological examination results of 11,255 paucibacillary leprosy patients from 8 leprosy control units under the National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP) in South India and the Outpatient Department (OPD) of the Central Leprosy Teaching & Research Institute (CLT&RI), Chengalpattu, between 1987 and 1989 were collected and analysed. Only 0.05% of the smears from leprosy contro...

In today’s rapid development of multiphase organic photodetectors(OPDs), research on inverted ternary OPDs is very necessary. Therefore, this paper innovatively proposes an photodetector(OPD) with a structure ITO/PEIE/PC $$_{61}$$ BM/P3HT: PCPDTBT/MoO $$_{3}$$ /Al. And the PEIE electron transport layer(ETL), which essential for structure, used to study effects different thicknesses. Different t...

The importance of solution composition on enzymatic reactions is increasingly appreciated, particularly with respect to macromolecular cosolutes. Macromolecular crowding and its effect on enzymatic reactions has been studied for several enzymes and is often understood in terms of changes to enzyme conformation. Comparatively little attention has been paid to the chemical properties of small-mol...

Background: White matter changes (WMC) are a common finding among older adults and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and have been associated with, e.g., gait deficits and executive dysfunction. How the factors age and PD influence WMC-related deficits is, to our best knowledge, not investigated to date. We hypothesized that advanced age and presence of PD leads to WMC-related symptoms wh...

BACKGROUND Malaria is the number one public health problem in Nigeria, responsible for about 30% of deaths in under-fives and 25% of deaths in infants and 11% maternal mortality. This study estimated the economic burden of malaria in Nigeria using the cost of illness approach. METHODS A cross-sectional study was undertaken in two malaria holo-endemic communities in Nigeria, involving both com...

BACKGROUND In the context of much literature and conjecture about the relationship of personality disorders (PD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), this paper uses longitudinal data to assess the frequency with which PD patients, and especially those with borderline personality disorder (BPD), have recurrences (for patients with lifetime histories), or new onsets (for patients without lifetim...
