In this paper, we propose an ADPCM coder which uses a backward adaptive predictor based on the adap tive mel-cepstral analysis. The spectrum represented by the mel-cepstral coefficients has frequency resolution similar to that of the human ear which has high resolution at low frequencies. In the coder, since the transfer functions of noise shaping and postflltering are also defined through the ...

Preventing the spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in healthcare facilities is a major infection control target. However, only a few studies have assessed the potential role of healthcare workers (HCWs) for MRSA dissemination. To investigate the MRSA prevalence and the risk factors for MRSA colonization among HCWs, nasopharyngeal swabs were taken between June 2010 and J...

Androgenetic alopecia is a common form of pattern hair loss, characterized by miniaturized follicles (HFs) at the front and parietal scalp, while hairs on occipital scalp are preserved. Moreover, different sites human body exhibit distinct types patterns HFs. Understanding molecular basis this heterogeneity will help to design targeted treatment strategies. The Wnt signalling pathway its Dickko...

An experiment conducted by us in China confirms that, by separating the delay from the interval, the delay effect exists only within a short delay. The results are reliable, because the rewards paid were very large, in order to elicit the subjects’ true preferences. The interva...
