A method is presented in this report to estimate the noise spectrum of speech utterances which are disturbed by additive noise. One advantage is that no speech pause detection is required. The processing is based on a calculation of the distribution density function of spectral magnitude values in a subband. The histogram for one subband is calculated for a past segment with a defined duration....

Given sufficient exposure to stimulus presentation, the oculomotor system generates a representation of the stimulus characteristics, which is then used to predict the upcoming target motion. In addition to compensating for the perceptual-motor delay, these predictive processes perpetuate eye motion during a transient occlusion and compensate for the loss of visual input. At present, however, i...

The standard goal of all fertility treatments is the improvement of pregnancy rates in infertile patients. Within the last 20 years, ovulation induction has contributed to the success of assisted reproduction techniques e.g. in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo-transfer (ET). The efficacy of these techniques depends on a personalized protocol of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and ...

Multiple pregnancies and ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) are the most serious complications of ovarian stimulation and IVF. Indeed, they are more or less the only ones. OHSS can effectively be prevented in three stages: Before stimulation, during stimulation and at ET. Before stimulation patients should be assessed as to age, the ovarian follicular count and/or anti mullerian hormone ...

Computer memory comprises temporarily or permanently stored data and instructions, which are utilized in electronic digital computers. The opposite of serial access is Random Access Memory (RAM), where the accessed immediately for both reading writing operations. There has been a vast technological improvement, led to tremendous information on amount complexity that can be designed single chip....
