BACKGROUND With the popularity of mobile phones, problematic mobile phone use is getting increasing attention in recent years. Although self-control was found to be a critical predictor of problematic mobile phone use, no study has ever explored the association between self-control and mobile phone use patterns as well as the possible pathway how self-control affects problematic mobile phone us...

introduction: the use of cell phones is widespread and there are public concerns regarding its possible deleterious effects on human health especially on the pregnancy outcomes. in this study, structural changes of the placenta after applying the cell phone radiation were examined in the mice model.   materials and methods: for this work, 40 pregnant balb/c mice were randomly allocated to one c...

background: the health effect of rapidly increasing everyday exposure of humans to radiofrequency radiation is a major global concern. mobile phone jammers prevent the mobile phones from receiving signals from base stations by interfering with authorized mobile carriers’ services. in spite of the fact that mobile jammer use is illegal, they are occasionally used in offices, shrines, conference ...

In this work, we compare different approaches for speech segmentation, of which some are constrained and the remaining are unconstrained by phone transcript. A high accuracy speech segmentation can be obtained by approaches constrained by phone transcript such as HMM forced-alignment when exact phone transcript is known. But such approaches have to adjust with canonical phone transcript, as exa...

background: in recent years, the widespread use of microwave producing instruments specially mobile phones; result in growing concern regarding the possible effects associated with these waves on human health. in the present study investigated the genotoxic effects of mobile phone radiation in adult mice (balb/c) and their embryos. methods: in this experimental research pregnant mice were irrad...

In this paper we report high phone accuracies on three corpora: WSJ0, BREF and TIMIT. The main characteristics of the phone recognizerare: high dimensional feature vector (48), contextand genderdependent phone models with duration distribution, continuous density HMM with Gaussian mixtures, and n-gram probabilities for the phonotatic constraints. These models are trained on speech data that hav...
