OBJECTIVES Phosphodiesterase (PDE) III inhibitor therapy is effective for treatment of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Nevertheless, this drug is expensive than conventional inotropic agent dobutamine. We compared total medication costs of the patients treated with PDE III inhibitor amrinone therapy to that of the patients treated with conventional dobutamine therapy during initial ho...

The resolutions of interests in atmospheric simulations require prohibitively large computational resources. Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) tries to mitigate this problem by putting high resolution in crucial areas of the domain. We investigate the performance of a tree-based AMR algorithm for the high order discontinuous Galerkin method on quadrilateral grids with non-conforming elements. We p...

A comprehensive test has been performed in order to evaluate the PESQ performance on AMR live networks. The test was necessitated by the fact that the speech quality standard has not been tested and validated on AMR live networks yet. 1. Myth and reality about the AMR codec’s expected speech quality The operability of 3G networks is complex. It has been demonstrated that some estimated performa...

This paper investigates the effects of standard speech compression techniques on the accuracy of automatic emotion recognition. Effects of Adaptive Multi-Rates (AMR), Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB) and Extended Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband (AMR-WB+) speech codecs were compared against emotion recognition from uncompressed speech. The recognition methods included techniques based on three...

Random access magnetoresistive memories have been designed using anisotropic magnetoresistive ~AMR! material and more recently giant magnetoresistive ~GMR! material. The thin films in these memories have low sheet resistivities ~about 10 V/sq!, resulting in cell resistances of 10 to 100 V at competitive areal densities. High sense currents of a mA or more are required to get signals on the orde...

Alismatis Rhizoma Decoction (ARD) is a classical Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula for treatment of vertigo with its long history of successful clinical effect. Since vertigo is a symptom of hyperlipidemia, this study aimed at evaluating the hypolipidemic effect of ARD in hyperlipidemia mice induced by high fat diet (HFD) and investigated the rationality of formula combination of Alism...

Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a state-of-the-art technique for the efficient numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDE) exhibiting multiple widely differing spatial scales. Recently, spacetree-based AMR has been established as a promising approach to structured AMR (see for example [1]). In the talk the integration of the two software modules PyClaw [2] and Peano [4] is pres...

In UMTS speech transmissions, the Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) speech codec is employed to allow for a dynamic assignment of data rates to individual users. The control of AMR modes is based on quality measurements of the transmission channel and aims at the maximization of speech quality by selecting the mode which is best suited to the current interference situation. In contrast to GSM, a reduct...

Keywords: Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) WENO High order finite difference Multiscale simulations a b s t r a c t In this paper, we propose a finite difference AMR-WENO method for hyperbolic conservation laws. The proposed method combines the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) framework [4,5] with the high order finite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) method in space and the t...
