This document materializes deliverable D3.4.1 of French ANR project ANR-09-COSI-03, " Virtual Imaging Platform ". As specified in the project proposal, it consists of 3D simulated heart images for segmentation evaluation, which are available online 1. This document details how they were produced. It...

Solid solution between nonmagnetic narrow gap semiconductor FeSi and diamagnetic semi-metal CoSi gives rise to interesting metallic alloys with longrange helical magnetic ordering, for a wide range of intermediate concentration. We report various interesting magnetic properties of these alloys, including low temperature re-entrant spin-glass like behaviour and a novel inverted magnetic hysteres...

Nontrivial band topologies in semimetals lead to robust surface states that can contribute dominantly the total conduction. This may result reduced resistivity with decreasing feature size contrary conventional metals, which highly impact semiconductor industry. Here we study scaling of a representative topological semimetal CoSi using realistic structures and Green's function methods. We show ...

The 25th Annual Conference Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB), held jointly with the 16th annual European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB), took place in Prague, Czech Republic, July 21–25, 2017 (http://www.iscb.org/ ismbeccb2017). This special issue of Bioinformatics serves as the proceedings for this official conference of the International Society for Computational Bi...

Introduction Difficulties with telephone use by adult users of cochlear implants (CIs) are reported as a limitation in daily life. Studies to improve the speech understanding of CI users on the telephone are scarce in the Brazilian scientific literature. Objective To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a training program of auditory abilities on the telephone for an adult CI user. Resumed...

Industry uses Open Source Software (OSS) to a greater and greater extent. We have defined four industrial OSS roles; OSS provider, OSS integrator, OSS participant and Inner Source Software (ISS) participant. Based on these four roles we have performed a survey in the ITEA COSI project. We provide initial answers to what motivates companies to undertake these roles, what are the advantages and c...

Piero Cosi Centro di Studio per Ie Ricerche di Fonetica, C.N.R., Via Oberdan,10, 35122 Padova, Italy Preliminary results on speaker-independant speech recognition are reported. A method that combines expertise on neural networks with expertise on speech recognition is used to build the recognition systems. For transient sounds, eventdriven property extractors with variable resolution in the tim...

A phonetic classification scheme based on a feed forward recurrent back-propagation neural network working on audio and visual information is described. The speech signal is processed by an auditory model producing spectral-like parameters, while the visual signal is processed by a specialised hardware, called ELITE, computing lip and jaw kinematics parameters. Some results will be given for va...
