Two non-linear interpolation techniques are introduced for enhancing speech reproduction in Prototype Waveform Interpolation (PWI) and similar encoders. A Temporal Differential Rate (TDR) vector is used to characterise the non-uniform evolution of pitch cycle temporal structure during interpolation. Experimental results show a clear improvement in the accuracy of decoded pitch cycle lengths and...

ÐAfter a ªboomº period from the late 80s to the early 90s, there appears to have been a reduction in the amount of work published on Concurrency Control (CC) in real-time database systems (RTDBS) in general and firm RTDBS in particular. This may be because existing paradigms (e.g., Optimistic CC) have been pushed to their limits and it is difficult to extract additional meaningful performance. ...

Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) mengkategorikan status rumah tangga miskin menjadi tiga yaitu Rumah Tangga Sangat Miskin (RTSM), (RTM), dan Hampir (RTHM). Mengklasifikasikan golongan desa Siney menggunakan metode Ordinal Class Classifier (OCC). OCC merupakan meta classifier yang dapat menghasilkan suatu kelas prediksi mengasumsikan nilai nominal. Penelitian ini data tersedia di kantor sebanyak 300 ...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to characterize the restraint use of children in fatal crashes and to determine factors that were related to child restraint use. METHODS Crashes in which a vehicle occupant died were selected from the 1994 Fatal Analysis Reporting System data. Restraint use of children (0-9 years) in these crashes was characterized and examined in relation to vehicle and dri...

Occupant behavior can significantly influence the operation and performance of buildings. Many occupant-centric key indicators (KPIs) rely on having accurate counts number occupants in a building, which is very different to how occupancy information currently collected majority buildings today. To address this gap, authors develop standardized methodology for calculation percent space utilizati...

This research explores the nexus between Perceived Quality (PQ), Public Self-Consciousness (PSC), Self-Esteem (SE), and Online Conspicuous Consumption (OCC) in realm of online shopping. Unlike earlier studies focused on offline venues, this seeks to unpack dynamics unique interactions. Data sourced via a survey were analyzed with SmartPLS version 4.0.8.9. Findings underscore marked positive cor...

One-Class Classification (OCC) has been prime concern for researchers and effectively employed in various disciplines. But, traditional methods based one-class classifiers are very time consuming due to its iterative process and various parameters tuning. In this paper, we present six OCC methods and their thirteen variants based on extreme learning machine (ELM) and Online Sequential ELM (OSEL...

PURPOSE To determine whether volumes based on the contours of the mucosal surface instead of the oral cavity can be used to predict grade ≥3 acute oral mucosa toxicity in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC) treated with concurrent intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and chemotherapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS A standardized method for the oral cavity (oral cav...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short nucleotide sequences that form a typical hairpin structure which is recognized by a complex enzyme machinery. It ultimately leads to the incorporation of 18-24 nt long mature miRNAs into RISC where they act as recognition keys to aid in regulation of target mRNAs. It is involved to determine miRNAs experimentally and, therefore, machine learning is used to complemen...
