In this paper, we use Sequential Forward Selection to select 8 dimensional frame-level features from the total 69 dimensional features, and we reduce the dimensions of utterance-level eigenvectors from 63 to 12 by fisher discriminant. Then, two kinds of GMM multidimensional likelihoods are proposed for hybrid generative and discriminative models. Experimental results on Berlin emotional speech ...

The reticulum cell sarcoma (RCS) 1 of S JL / J mice has been shown to express alien histocompatibility membrane antigens (1, 2). This form of tumor antigen is, by definition, present on cancerous, but not normal, syngeneic tissues. However, it differs from other forms of tumor-associated antigens because it is a normal membrane component of one or more strains allogeneic to the host (3). In the...

Relative clauses (RCs) are subordinate clauses embedded within nominal phrases. Semantically, this embedded clause modifies the dominating nominal head. Syntactically, the nominal head is associated with an empty element within the subordinate clause. RCs have received great attention from language researchers as they demonstrate crucial properties of the human language. They enable recursion i...

Intercellular bridges called "ring canals" (RCs) resulting from incomplete cytokinesis play an essential role in intercellular communication in somatic and germinal tissues. During Drosophila oogenesis, RCs connect the maturing oocyte to nurse cells supporting its growth. Despite numerous genetic screens aimed at identifying genes involved in RC biogenesis and maturation, how RCs anchor to the ...

Reactive carbonyls are widespread species in living organisms and mainly known for their damaging effects. The most abundant reactive carbonyl species (RCS) are derived from oxidation of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. Chemical modification of proteins, nucleic acids, and aminophospholipids by RCS results in cytotoxicity and mutagenicity. In addition to their direct toxicity, modificati...

BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted laparoscopy is popularly performed for colorectal disease. The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted colorectal surgery (RCS) and laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) for colorectal disease based on randomized controlled trial studies. METHODS Literature searches of electronic databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, ...

BACKGROUND For a self-paced motor imagery based brain-computer interface (BCI), the system should be able to recognize the occurrence of a motor imagery, as well as the type of the motor imagery. However, because of the difficulty of detecting the occurrence of a motor imagery, general motor imagery based BCI studies have been focusing on the cued motor imagery paradigm. NEW METHOD In this pa...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a hybrid intelligent surveillance system consisting of an embedded system and a personal computer (PC)-based system. The embedded system performs some of the image processing tasks and sends the processed data to a PC. The PC tracks persons and recognizes two-person interactions by using a grayscale side-view image sequence captured by a sta...
