In this paper we revisit a classic HOS-based BSS criterion, namely the maximization of the higher-order moments of the estimated sources. The main contributions of this paper are: (i) a thorough study of the solutions given by popular HOS-based BSS criteria (including spurious solutions) and (ii) a method for estimating the source signals based on the eigendecomposition of certain adjustable HO...

This paper investigates the applicability of high order statistical autoregressive (AR-HOS) modeling method in analyzing biomedical signals. The autoregressive (AR) method using linear prediction and AR-HOS method using cumulants are applied on normal and pathological heart sound signals. It is found that the AR-HOS modeling a signal produce more accurate and higher resolution spectrum than AR ...

Introduction: Health Organizations (HOs) worldwide are vital to any nation’s capacity withstand crises. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the HOs’ awareness of importance Organizational Resilience ensure Operational Continuity during This study aimed identify main elements affecting resilience, enable their application in long-term processes building. Method: A cross-sectional examining level org...

To determine the responsiveness of Patient-Report Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) compared to legacy patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) at 6-month follow-up. Data from consecutive who underwent primary between August 2018 and January 2019 treatment FAIS were analyzed. Baseline data inc...

While many recent curriculum reforms recognise the value of history science (HOS) in teaching, in-depth investigations into teachers’ experiences planning HOS-based lessons have been rare. We present a case study two groups preservice teachers (PSTs) who collaboratively planned high school using HOS. The research aims were to understand what design issues arose and how they unfolded as each gro...

Biological interactions between human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were analysed in transfection and infection experiments, carried out in a human osteogenic sarcoma cell line (HOS) and in the same cell line chronically infected with HCMV (E155). When HOS and E155 cells were transfected with recombinant plasmids containing the HIV long terminal repe...

BACKGROUND The treatment of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and human osteosarcoma (HOS) includes surgery and/or radiotherapy which often lead to reduced quality of life. This study was aimed to study the antiproliferative activity of local honey (Tualang) on OSCC and HOS cell lines. METHODS Several concentrations of Tualang honey (1% - 20%) were applied on OSCC and HOS cell lines for 3,...

Homologue of Slimb (HOS)/beta-transducin repeats containing proteins up-regulate nuclear factor kappaB activity by targeting its inhibitor (IkappaB) for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. We investigated whether inhibition of HOS function may modulate apoptosis in human melanoma cells. Forced expression of the dominant negative HOSdeltaF construct inhibited IkappaB degradation and led t...

Accurate prognosis of male fertility based on semen measurements is still not straightforward. This study was designed to identify the best predictors of fertility and to develop a multiple regression model predicting fertility using selected parameters of semen analysis. The predictive value of standard semen parameters and selected functional tests were studied in 113 fertile men and in 109 s...

We report a theoretical investigation of the X (2)A" and à (2)A' electronic states of HSO/HOS. Three-dimensional potential energy surfaces for the X (2)A" and à (2)A' electronic states of HSO/HOS have been calculated ab initio by the core-valence MR-SDCI+Q/[aug-cc-pCVQZ(S,O),aug-cc-pVQZ(H)] method, and near-global potential energy surfaces have been constructed. These surfaces have been used, i...
