We compared three self-rating scales (the Geriatric Depression Scale, the Zung Scale, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale) with three examiner-rating scales (the Hamilton Rating Scale, the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale-Depression, and the Cornell Scale), to see which was best for 40 elderly (mean age 80 years) stroke patients, 17 of whom were depressed acco...

The effects of specific environmental factors on abundance and distribution of some individual soil insect taxa is known, but how scale influences spatial distribution is less well evaluated, particularly at the community level. However, given that many soil insects are pests or beneficial natural enemies, and that collectively they play a role in soil processes, this information is of potentia...

We present recent observations of three pulsars, PSR J1909-3744, PSR J1600-3053, and PSR J1022+1001, that demonstrate remarkable levels of timing precision and instrumental stability. Data were taken with CPSR2, a new baseband recording system at the Parkes radio telescope, during the first 12 months of operation.

Modelling strategies for predicting the potential impacts of climate change on the natural distribution of species have often focused on the characterization of a species’ bioclimate envelope. A number of recent critiques have questioned the validity of this approach by pointing to the many factors other than climate that play an important part in determining species distributions and the dynam...

This paper presents the application of an emission limiting model-based predictive controller for a small-scale biomass grate furnace. The furnace has nominal power 100 kW with wood pellets as fuel, but it can be operated different fuels well. model approach extends existing static feedforward investigated dynamic feedback that is able to improve combustion performance. Simultaneously, formatio...

Bark-scale warped linear prediction [WLP] is a very potential core for a monophonic perceptual audio codec [2]. In the current paper the WLP scheme is extended for processing complex valued signals (CWLP). Three di erent methods of converting a stereo signal to one complex valued signal are introduced. The philosophy behind the coding scheme is to integrate some aspects of modern wideband audio...
