In the present work, a new method for the integration of simultaneously recorded EEG and fMRI data in epilepsy is presented. Independent component analysis (ICA) is performed on EEG data, five metrics are applied upon each component spectrum, and a general linear model for each time course is fit to the fMRI data. The proposed methodology was applied to data collected from one patient, systemat...

In this paper, we describe a system for the recognition of musical instruments from isolated notes or drum samples. We first describe a baseline system that uses uses melfrequency cepstral coefficients and their first derivatives as features, and continuous-density hidden Markov models (HMMs). Two improvements are proposed to increase the performance of this baseline system. First, transforming...

the objective of this work was to develop bioadhesive topical gel of aceclofenac with the help of response-surface approach. experiments were performed according to a 3-level factorial design to evaluate the effects of two independent variables [amount of poloxamer 407 (pl-407 = x1) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose k100 m (hpmc = x2)] on the bioadhesive character of gel, rheological property o...

We present a method for coarse-grained cross-lingual alignment of comparable texts: segments consisting of contiguous paragraphs that discuss the same theme (e.g. history, economy) are aligned based on induced multilingual topics. The method combines three ideas: a two level LDA model that filters out words that do not convey themes, an HMM that models the ordering of themes in the collection o...
