Nonlinearities in the cochlea can introduce audio frequencies that are not present in the sound signal entering the ear. Known as distortion products (DPs), these added frequencies complicate the interpretation of auditory experiments. Sound production systems also introduce distortion via nonlinearities, a particular concern for fMRI research because the Sensimetrics earphones widely used for ...

Background: Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOC) of the mouth is a very rare but well-known carcinoma. It is locally invasive and its prognosis is quite poor. It may originate from the walls of an odontogenic cyst or de novo from the remnant epithelium at this region. Because the early symptoms of such malignancies are sometimes similar to those of inflammatory or periodontal dis...

Uniform quantization with dither, or lattice quantization with dither in the vector case, followed by a universal lossless source encoder (entropy coder), is a simple procedure for universal coding with distortion of a source that may take continuously many values. The rate of this universal coding scheme is examined, and we derive a general expression for it. An upper bound for the redundancy ...

Introduction/Main Objectives: This study discusses the three main aspects of inequality: level education attained, urban-rural area, and gender. Background Problems: Inequality is one fundamental economic problems in Indonesia that has potential to cause non-optimal distribution resources, instability, may even lead an crisis. Novelty: provide a new perspective on differences findings for gende...

Volumetric polyhedral meshes are required in many applications, especially for solving partial differential equations on finite element simulations. Still, their construction bears several additional challenges compared to boundary-based representations. Tetrahedral and (pure) hex-meshes two popular formats scenarios like CAD offering opposite advantages disadvantages. Hex-meshes more intricate...

a 48 year old man presented to our outpatient department with the history of absolute dysphagia, and fever for two days. on examination patient was febrile with drooling of saliva. oropharynx was minimally congested. indirect laryngoscopy revealed odematous epiglottis with pus pointing over the lingual surface. radiography of soft tissue, neck lateral view, showed the thumb sign which suggested...
