Understanding the transition of brain activities towards an absence seizure, called pre-epileptic seizure, is a challenge. In this study, multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) is proposed to describe dynamical characteristics of electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings on different absence seizure states. The classification ability of the MPE measures using linear discriminant analysis is evaluate...

Using the central observation that margin-based weighted classification error (modeled using Minimum Phone Error (MPE)) corresponds to the derivative with respect to the margin term of margin-based hinge loss (modeled using Maximum Mutual Information (MMI)), this article subsumes and extends margin-based MPE and MMI within a broader framework in which the objective function is an integral of MP...

Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models play an important role in educational simulations. The parameters of PK-PD models described in the scientific literature are obtained from studies in which the drug concentrations and the drug-effect data are measured simultaneously. Simultaneous PK-PD studies cannot be expected to incorporate all possible combinations of drugs and patient physiolo...

We recently discovered novel discriminative training criteria following a principled approach. In this approach training criteria are developed from error bounds on the global error for pattern classification tasks that depend on non-trivial loss functions. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a prominent example for such a task depending on the non-trivial Levenshtein loss. In this context, t...

Introducing pronunciation models into decoding has proven beneficial for LVCSR. As Minimum Phone Error (MPE) training has almost become a standard scheme for acoustic modeling, a discriminative pronunciation modeling method is investigated under the framework of MPE training. In order to bring the pronunciation models into MPE training, the auxiliary function of MPE training is rewritten at wor...

[Abstract] In this paper, the transport efficiency of Multi Protocol Encapsulation (MPE), Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) and Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE) for typical IP packet sizes is compared. Moreover, the aggregated efficiency when applying packet-level forward error correction (PL-FEC) with MPE, ULE and GSE is also analyzed. MPE-FEC is the mechanism used by DVB-H wher...

Bu çalışmada püskürtmeli kurutucuda mikroenkapsüle edilmiş propolis ekstraktı (MPE) %0.05, %0.1 ve %0.2 oranlarında hazır muz aromalı puding formülasyonlarına katılmıştır. Bulgulara göre MPE düzeyinin artışına bağlı olarak depolama süresince örneklerinde nem içeriğinde azalma görülmüştür (p

PURPOSE Oxcarbazepine (OXC) is a promising alternative for patients who cannot tolerate carbamazepine. Recently, however, it has been reported that OXC-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs) are prevalent and may lead to drug discontinuation. Additionally, these reactions are thought to be associated with HLA-B*1502. This study aims to investigate the incidence, features and risk fact...

Introduction: Rhopalurus junceus scorpion venom has shown potential for anticancer treatment. However, there are no scientific evidence about venom pharmacokinetic (PK) and biodistribution (BD) in tumor-bearing mice. Methods: 131I-labeled venom was administrated by intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) routes at the single dose of 12.5 mg/kg. Mice were sacrificed and blood samples, major organs, and t...
