Subtle temporal and spectral differences between categorical realizations of para-linguistic phenomena (e.g., affective vocal expressions) are hard to capture and describe. In this paper we present a signal representation based on Time Varying Constant-Q Cepstral Coefficients (TVCQCC) derived for this purpose. A method which utilizes the special properties of the constant Q-transform for mean F...

Linear time-varying systems are considered. The associated homogeneous time-varying differential equation is assumed to be given in a frame of reference such that the system matrix is upper triangular. An analytic expression for the solution then can be derived. For a higher order SISO system this solution is a sum of modes, each mode being the product of constant amplitude and an exponential f...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Mathematics, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Abstract In this paper, we solve a time-space fractional diffusion equation. Our methods are based on normalized Bernstein polynomials. For the space domain, we use a set of normalized Bernstein polynomials and for the time domain, which is a semi-infinite domain, ...

OBJECTIVES There is increasing interest in the use of quantitative PCR (q-PCR) for diagnosis of H. pylori infection. However, the assay remains largely unstandardized, making comparison between studies unreliable. The objective of this study was to assess accuracy of a normalized q-PCR assay for diagnosis of the infection. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Seventy-six fresh gastric biopsy specimens were c...

The multifractal behavior of the normalized first passage time is investigated on the two dimensional Sierpinski gasket with both absorbing and reflecting barriers. The normalized first passage time for Sinai model and the logistic model to arrive at the absorbing barrier after starting from an arbitrary site, especially obtained by the calculation via the Monte Carlo simulation, is discussed n...
