This paper proposes a new feature vector— Mel Frequency Principal Coefficient(MFPC), applied to speaker recognition. It is derived by performing Principal Component Analysis on the Mel Scale Spectrum Vector. Compared with conventional Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient, MFPC efficiently exploited the correlation information among different frequency channels. These correlations, which is mainly...

Motif Finding is one of the important tasks in gene regulation which is essential in understanding biological cell functions. Based on Tompa et al. study, the performance of current motif finders is not satisfactory. A number of ensemble methods has been proposed to enhance the results. Existing ensemble methods overall performance is better than stand-alone motif finders. A recent ensemble met...

In this paper we present a method to study global regularity properties of solutions of large-data critical Schrödinger equations on certain noncompact Riemannian manifolds. We rely on concentration compactness arguments and a global Morawetz inequality adapted to the geometry of the manifold (in other words we adapt the method of Kenig-Merle [40] to the variable coefficient case), and a good u...

We present a micro-pulse depolarization-backscatter lidar for unattended measurements. The presented lidar originates from a lidar for a high-altitude aircraft, what is demonstrated in its compactness and the possibility for transportation with minimum resources. The lidar determines the aerosol backscatter coefficient in the PBL and lower troposphere, as well as the mixing layer height during ...

We study a relaxation scheme of the Jin and Xin type for conservation laws with a flux function that depends discontinuously on the spatial location through a coefficient k(x). If k ∈ BV , we show that the relaxation scheme produces a sequence of approximate solutions that converge to a weak solution. The Murat-Tartar compensated compactness method is used to establish convergence. We present n...

Protein Peeling 2 (PP2) is a web server for the automatic identification of protein units (PUs) given the 3D coordinates of a protein. PUs are an intermediate level of protein structure description between protein domains and secondary structures. It is a new tool to better understand and analyze the organization of protein structures. PP2 uses only the matrices of protein contact probabilities...

This paper compares the porosity / compactness of the knitted structures made from viscose and excel yarns and evaluates the air permeability property for sportswear. In the experimental section, viscose and excel yarns spun in different counts ( Ne 30, Ne 40 ) with the same twist coefficient of αe = 3.3 were knitted as single jersey fabrics in the same production conditions with four tightness...

Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health issue in this world. In 1992, World Health Organization (WHO) has determined tuberculosis as Global Emergency. The caused of tuberculosis disease is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteria is bar shaped and has the quality of acid fast so that it’s also called as Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB). In this research, an algorithm to identifying and counting...

The concept of intuitionistic fuzzy β-almost compactness and intuitionistic fuzzy β-nearly compactness in intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces is introduced and studied. Besides giving characterizations of these spaces, we study some of their properties. Also, we investigate the behavior of intuitionistic fuzzy β-compactness, intuitionistic fuzzy β-almost compactness, and intuitionistic fuzz...
