Concurrent monitoring of multiple species with a single study design can be an efficient use time and financial resources. Using camera traps to estimate density or abundance is only possible if the captures photographs all target in unbiased manner. We used trap data originally collected for different purpose applied Space Event (STE) model simultaneously. had sufficient densities moose (Alces...

[1] Events involving stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) of ozone, such as tropopause folds and westerly ducts, are readily identified in observations and models, but a quantitative flux specifying where and when stratospheric ozone is mixed into the troposphere is not readily discerned from either. This work presents a new diagnostic based on determining when stratospheric air is mixed and...

In the development of a syllable-centric Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system, segmentation of the acoustic signal into syllabic units is an important stage. Although the short-term energy (STE) function contains useful information about syllable segment boundaries, it has to be processed before segment boundaries can be extracted. This paper presents a sub-band based group delay approach ...

A number of measures have been proposed for the direction of the coupling between two time series, and transfer entropy (TE) has been found in recent studies to perform consistently well in different settings. Symbolic transfer entropy (STE) has been very recently proposed as a variation of the transfer entropy operating on the ranks of the components of the reconstructed vectors rather than th...

This paper investigates an adaptive space-time equalisation (STE) assisted multiuser detection scheme for multiple-antenna aided multiuser systems. A minimum bit error rate (MBER) design is compared with the standard minimum mean square error (MMSE) design. It is shown that the MBER design provides significant performance enhancement, in terms of achievable system bit error rate, over the MMSE ...

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an important cause of the heart failure. Timely diagnosis and optimal management decrease morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients. Although transthoracic echocardiography is used as the diagnostic test of choice in these patients, new modalities like speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) have promising results in diagnosing these patients in the earli...

We discuss the generation of two-atom entanglement inside a resonant microcavity under stimulated emission (STE) interaction. The amount of entanglement is shown based on different atomic initial state. For each kind of intial state, we obtain the entanglement period and the entanglement critical point, which are found to deeply depend on driving field density. In case of atomic state |ee〉, the...

Benefits of early reperfusion in patients presenting with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are well known. The American College of Cardiology / American Heart Association guidelines recommend triage decisions are made within 10 minutes of performing initial electrocardiogram (ECG). Since many patients presenting with ischemic symptoms may have ST elevation (STE) at baseline, not...

This study was carried out to investigate the loss mechanism of a blade with harbor seal whisker structure on trailing edge under different Mach numbers. The high-pressure turbine blades four geometries, including prototype, an elliptical (ETE), sinusoidal (STE), and biomimetic (BTE) at numbers 0.38–1.21 is studied. delayed detached-eddy simulation method used predict detailed flow cascades. re...
