HarkMan keyword-spotter was designed so that it can be used in a real-world environment to automatically spot the given words of a vocabulary-independent (VIND) task in unconstrained Chinese telephone speech. In this spotter, the speaking manner and the number of keywords are not limited. This paper focuses on a novel technique that addresses acoustic modeling, keyword-spotting network, search ...

A major research challenge in ungauged basins is to quickly assess the dominant hydrological processes of watersheds. In this paper we present a top-down approach from first field reconnaissance to perceptual model development, model conceptualization, evaluation, rejection and eventually, to a more substantial field campaign to build upon the initial modeling. This approach led us from an init...

Background: Human cornea expresses functional Fas-ligand capable of killing Fas+ activated lymphocytes. Fas expression is partly regulated by -670 A/G polymorphism in the promoter region of Fas gene. Objective: The aim of the present study is to determine the association between Fas-670A/G polymorphism and survival of corneal transplantation. Methods: In 276 graft recipients who mainly underwen...

<p>The present paper carries for novel modeling that are often used evaluate the kinetic performance of groundwater reverse osmosis (GWRO) desalination system by empirical correlation with dimensionless parameters. About three hundred correlationshave been proposed and validated calculation cumulative volumes: alimentation, permeate rejection as a function filtration time vice versa. This...

Rejection sensitivity is the heightened tendency to perceive or anxiously expect disengagement from others during social interaction. There has been a recent wave of neuroimaging studies of rejection. The aim of the current review was to determine key brain regions involved in social rejection by selectively reviewing neuroimaging studies that employed one of three paradigms of social rejection...

background: in addition to human leukocyte antigens (hla) compatibility, gene polymorphisms in cytokines might also be important in the quality of allogeneic immune response. objective: to evaluate the influence of hla-dr matching and a number of cytokine gene polymorphisms on acute rejection after living-unrelated donor (lurd) kidney transplantation. methods: a total of 42 renal transplants pe...

background and aim the most common complication of renal transplantation is allograft dysfunction, which in some cases leads to graft loss. the role of graft nephrectomy in the management of transplant failure is controversial. the procedure remains associated with a significant morbidity and also mortality. our main purpose was the comparison between clinical and pathological diagnosis of graf...

This paper has analyzed the defects of traditional extended description function (EDF) based LLC small signal modeling method when driving light emitting diode (LED) load and proposed an accuracy improvement method. Detailed model methods have been deduced, different compared thoroughly. To suppress second-order harmonic ripple in direct current link-induced output ripple, a quasi-resonant cont...
