In autumn 2011 we developed a concept for a new service to be offered for our teachers in connection with virtual lessons: eLectures. eLectures in general are defined as recorded lectures. We offer two kinds of services: InfoSnippets and InfoCasts. InfoSnippets represent short videos visualizing practical skills to be learned by medical students such as measuring the blood pressure or how to ma...

The better the technology, the more user friendly it becomes. This is what 4G brings to us than 3G. 4G provides us 3 times faster speed than 3G technology.4G is the short name of fourth generation of wireless /mobile communication That will enable things like IP –based voice, data, gamming services & high quality streamed multimedia on portable devices with cable modem like transmission speed. ...

Introduction: Rhinosinus polyposis is associated with voice quality reduction. There has been little evidence about the efficacy of rhinosinus polyps surgery on patients' voice quality so far. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the nasality and acoustic voice changes after rhinosinus polyposis surgery.   Materials and Methods: The population in this study compo...

researchers are of the belief that employee voice has favorable effects for both the employee and the organization. however, the effect of employee voice on creativity, and the process through which it influences creativity, has hitherto received little attention. this study aimed at investigating the relationship between perceived employee voice and creativity. employees of three premier dairy...

The undergoing third-generation wireless network needs to support the integration of voice and multimedia data services with varying quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. It is critical that the least bit-error rate (BER) for voice traffic, World Wide Web (WWW) traffic, and streaming video traffic be guaranteed at all time. In this paper, we discussed the integration of soft handoff and dynami...

This work presents an advanced service implemantation regarding an automatic control and management of phone channels bandwidth requirements over a Premium IP (PIP) network. This service is implemented by the SLAM (Service Level Agreement Manager) on the Intelligent Node based on the Active Network technology. During the last years “Voice over IP” (VoIP) and IP Telephony has gained an unprecede...

We describe two advanced video analysis techniques, including video-indexed by voice annotations (VIVA) and multi-media indexing and explorer (MINER). VIVA utilizes analyst call-outs (ACOs) in the form of chat messages (voice-to-text) to associate labels with video target tracks, to designate spatial-temporal activity boundaries and to augment video tracking in challenging scenarios. Challengin...

Multimedia communications over IP are booming as they offer higher flexibility and more features than traditional voice and video services. IP telephony known as Voice over IP (VoIP) is one of the commercially most important emerging trends in multimedia communications over IP. Due to the flexibility and descriptive power, the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is becoming the root of many sessi...

Attention-based encoder-decoder architectures such as Listen, Attend, and Spell (LAS), subsume the acoustic, pronunciation and language model components of a traditional automatic speech recognition (ASR) system into a single neural network. In our previous work, we have shown that such architectures are comparable to state-ofthe-art ASR systems on dictation tasks, but it was not clear if such ...

To deal with the increasing demand of high speed data streaming and good quality voice traffic from mobile users at home, Femtocell Networks are deployed in homes that enables an indoor mobile user to achieve high speed downloading from the internet and make good quality voice calls. A femtocell network also provides relief to an overloaded macrocell network by servicing mobile users at home wh...
