| This study, considers an analysis of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park Bombing 911 phone call with respect to several speech processing issues. First, since background noise is present in the recording, ve previously formulated speech enhancement algorithms are compared for quality improvement. Some of these include: Nonlin-ear Spectral Subtraction, MMSE ltering, and Auto{LSP Constrained Itera...

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is tasked with responding to a wide range of incidents that are reported through the city’s 911 emergency hotline. Currently, response resources are distributed within police precincts on the basis of high-level summary statistics and expert reasoning. In this paper, we describe our first steps towards a better understanding of 911 call activity: temporal b...

The IETF ECRIT and GEOPRIV working groups have developed standards for critical components of the next-generation, IP-based 911 system. This document reviews some of the basic principles of these technologies and responds to several questions in the FCC’s recent Notice of Inquiry on the topic of NG911.

Epoxide hydrase was solubilized from liver microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats by treatment with cholate and purified to apparent homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation and column chromatography in the presence of the nonionic detergent Emulgen 911 on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxylapatite. The purified enzyme preparation had a single major band with a molecular weight of 53,000 to 54,0...

OBJECTIVE To examine racial/ethnic differences in stroke recognition and knowledge of appropriate first action if someone was having a stroke. METHODS We examined data from 36,150 veterans from the 2003 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Respondents indicated recognition of five stroke warning signs/symptoms and first action they would take if someone were having a stroke. Mu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few patients arrive early enough at hospitals to be eligible for emergent stroke treatment. There may be barriers specific to underserved, urban populations that need to be identified before effective educational interventions to reduce delay times can be developed. METHODS A survey of respondents' likely action in a hypothetical stroke situation was given to 253 commun...
