Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) produces deficits in speech comprehension in noise that primarily are due to impairments in identifying consonants. Here, w e describe the California Syllable Test (CaST) that quant ifies the ident ification of common American English consonants. In experiment I, 16 young sub jects wi th normal hearing iden tified 720 consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) syll ables ...

Intelligent Transport Services expect availability of the secure seamless communications solutions typically covering widely spread areas. Different ITS solutions require different portfolio of telecommunications service quality. These parameters have to correspond with ITS service performance parameters required by specific service. Even though quite extensive range of public wireless data ser...

To the Editor—The transfusion of ABO-mismatched blood usually results from patient misidentification and sample-labelling errors during phlebotomy. It is a common problem worldwide and causes more transfusion-related fatalities than does the transfusionmediated transmission of human immunodeficiency virus. Various approaches have been used to minimise human error during phlebotomy and blood tra...

Breast cancer is the most frequently occurring disease among women worldwide. The early stage of breast cancer identification is the key challenge in cancer control and prevention procedures. Although gene expression profiling helps to understand the molecular mechanism of diseases or disorder in the living system, gene expression pattern alone is not sufficient to predict the exact mechanisms....

Most studies of software failures and faul ts have done little more than classifying failures and faults collected f r o m long-term projects. In this paper, we propose a model t o analyze failures and faults f o r debugging purpose. In the model, w e define ‘ ya ihre modes” and “failure types” t o ident i fy t he existence of program failures and the nature of t he program failures, respective...

Commonsense knowledge often omits the temporal incidence of facts, and even the ordering between occurrences is only available for some of their instances. Reasoning about the temporal extent of facts and their sequencing becomes complex due to this inherent partiality. The generation of hypotheses is adopted here as a natural way to overcome the difficulties in computing answers to temporal qu...
