Cyclic Cubes, proposed as a new family of Interconnection Networks, is proved not new and is equivalent to the wrapped butterfly networks. There is a similar fact that the Cyclic Cubes is also equivalent to the Bidi Shufflenet, which is investigated recently. But this fact is almost neglected. In this paper, we discuss the equivalence between the Cyclic Cubes and the Bidi Shufflenet.

INTRODUCTION Although cigarette use among Canadian youth has decreased significantly in recent years, alternative forms of tobacco use are becoming increasingly popular. Surveillance of youth tobacco use can help inform prevention programs by monitoring trends in risk behaviors. We examined the prevalence of bidi and hookah use and factors associated with their use among Canadian youth by using...

In this paper, we continue our previous work on nonlinear feature compensation of distortions in clean and telephone speech recognition systems. We have shown that Bidirectional Neural Network (Bidi-NN) can compensate nonlinearly-distorted components of feature vectors. In this study, we present a new effort to improve recognition accuracy on clean and telephone speech data by employing a two-s...
