Many interesting real-world textures are inhomogeneous and/or anisotropic. An inhomogeneous texture is one where various visual properties exhibit significant changes across the texture’s spatial domain. Examples include perceptible changes in surface color, lighting, local texture pattern and/or its apparent scale, and weathering effects, which may vary abruptly, or in a continuous fashion. An...

Here, we describe a strategy for synthesis of peptides with multiple unnatural amino acids (UAAs) using in vitro translation. Our method involves removing a natural amino acid and replacing it with an UAA variant in a reconstituted translation system. Whereas other systems require engineered components or chemical synthesis to charge UAAs onto tRNAs prior to translation, our strategy utilizes t...

the synthesis of nb doped batio3 has been investigated under microwave-hydrothermal (mh) conditions in the temperature of 150°c for only 2 h using c16h36o4ti, bah2o2.8h2o and nbcl5 as ba, ti and  nb sources, respectively.  typical experiments performed on mh processing have not yet reported for nb doped batio3.  in the mh process, the formation of high purity nano tetragonal nb-batio3 was stron...

A synthetic strategy combining automated solid-phase chemical synthesis and enzymatic sialylation was developed to access α(2,3)-sialylated glycans.

Feature extraction is a crucial step in developing any speech and language processing applications. Extracting features from speech can be viewed in two major perspectives, in the initial perspective a feature to represent speech signal is extracted by treating speech signal as any non-stationary signal. The later perspective is by considering speech as a special signal that has its own product...

TTS-MUC3 incorporates semi-automated lexicon generation and almost fully automated phras e pattern generation. Associative retrieval from a case memory provides raw data for computing se t fills and string fills . TTS-MUC3's modular process model integrates the results of case memor y retrieval over sentences from multiple stories, extracts the date and location of incidents, an d computes cros...

Case write and experience are very popular in the course teach, this paper presents the history of the CGU (Chang Gung University)-FPG (Formosa Plastics Group) multiple-case development project and benefits of the C2C (College-to-Conglomerate) case development approach. The approach provided benefits that were seldom available to individual case development. First, strong supports in data avail...

objective: dendrimers are three-dimensional nanostructures that have numerous applications in medicine, including drug delivery and imaging. although anionic dendrimer polyethylene glycol–citrate has a high potential to increase solubility of water-insoluble drugs and drug delivery, its multi-step synthesis procedure is time consuming. in addition, toxic substances such as dichloromethane are u...

one of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. each approach has its varied challenges. unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...

Nano sulfated titania was tested as solid acid heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 4-(Trifluoromethyl) coumarin and coumarin derivatives under solvent-free condition. Factorial design evidenced a positive effect of reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvents.  This nano-sized sulfated titania has been prepared by a sol-gel hydrothermal process. The prepared sulfated titania s...
