Chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) is a tension-induced degradation pathway essential for muscle maintenance. Impairment of CASA causes childhood muscle dystrophy and cardiomyopathy. However, the importance of CASA for muscle function in healthy individuals has remained elusive so far. Here we describe the impact of strength training on CASA in a group of healthy and moderately train...

Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (CASA) aims to model our ability to structure our acoustical environment. In a CASA context, this paper deals with a method for time-frequency labeling based on harmonic properties. The method is based on a classical pitch extraction algorithm, termed the « zerocrossing method », which is known to be particularly sensitive to any kind of interference. This ...

A human listener has the remarkable ability to segregate an acoustic mixture and attend to a target sound. This perceptual process is called auditory scene analysis (ASA). Moreover, the listener can accomplish much of auditory scene analysis with only one ear. Research in ASA has inspired many studies in computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) for sound segregation. In this chapter we intr...

Human listeners have a remarkable ability to separate a complex mixture of sounds into discrete sources. The processes underlying this ability have been termed ‘auditory scene analysis’ (Bregman 1990; this volume). Recently, an interdisciplinary field known as ‘computational auditory scene analysis’ (CASA) has emerged which aims to develop computer systems that mimic this aspect of hearing (Ros...

Sexual assault occurring when the victim is unable to consent or resist due to the use or administration of alcohol or drugs (i.e., incapacitated/drug-or-alcohol facilitated rape; IR/DAFR) is a particularly prevalent form of victimization experienced by college women. By definition, substance use precedes IR/DAFR; however, few studies have examined other potential risk factors for IR/DAFR that ...
