The focus of this paper is estimating articulatory movements of the tongue and lips from acoustic speech data. While there are several potential applications of such a method in speech therapy and pronunciation training, performance of such acoustic-to-articulatory inversion systems is not very high due to limited availability of simultaneous acoustic and articulatory data, substantial speaker ...

We have developed a method for three-dimensional simultaneous velocity and density inversion using traveltimes of local earthquakes and gravity data. The purpose of this method is to constrain the velocity inversion and increase the spatial resolution of shallow velocity structures by introducing additional gravity data. The gravity data contributes to the Pand S-wave velocity models by imposin...

A general inversion technique for the recovery of the underlying distribution function for observed galactic disks is presented and illustrated. Under the assumption that these disks are axi-symmetric and thin, the proposed method yields the unique distribution compatible with all the observables available. The derivation may be carried out from the measurement of the azimuthal velocity distrib...

Samples with inversion parameter values (?) ranging from 0.27 to 0.14 while maintaining the crystallite size value have been successfully fabricated commercially available powders by mechanical grinding and thermal annealing treatments at temperatures between 400 600 °C. Detailed characterization studies of these samples using X-ray, neutron diffraction magnetic measurements confirmed for first...

We demonstrate here a computer code for calculation of time series and also mean and linear deformation rates from a set of coregistered unwrapped differential interferograms using a linear leastsquares inversion technique based on the small baseline subset (SBAS) algorithm. The computer code is written in C and uses a singular value decomposition (SVD) routine from the LAPACK library and the f...

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...

in this paper, we studied effect of different parameters including density, viscosity, interfacial tension and solute transfer concentration on phase inversion hold-up. the results showed that change in phase density ratio had no effect on phase inversion hold-up. it also disclosed that the phase viscosity ratio was the most effective parameter affecting phase inversion hold-up and each phase h...

This paper introduces a new Monte Carlo algorithm to invert large matrices. It is based on simultaneous coupled draws from two random vectors whose covariance is the required inverse. It can be considered a generalization of a previously reported algorithm for hermitian matrices inversion based in only one draw. The use of two draws allows the inversion on non-hermitian matrices. Both the condi...

We present a deep convolutional neural network application based on autoencoders aimed at segmentation of increased signal regions in fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging images. The convolutional autoencoders were trained on the publicly available Brain Tumor Image Segmentation Benchmark (BRATS) data set, and the accuracy was evaluated on a data set where 3 expert seg...

Conditional gene deletion in mice has contributed immensely to our understanding of many biological and biomedical processes. Despite an increasing awareness of nonprotein-coding functional elements within protein-coding transcripts, current gene-targeting approaches typically involve simultaneous ablation of noncoding elements within targeted protein-coding genes. The potential for protein-cod...
