In this paper, we address issues in improving handsfree speech recognition performance in different car environments using multiple spatially distributed microphones. In previous work, we proposed multiple regression of the log-spectra (MRLS) for estimating the logspectra of speech at a close-talking microphone. In this paper, the idea is extended to nonlinear regressions. Isolated word recogni...

Melanoma antigen L2 (MAGE-L2) belongs to the approximately 60 gene MAGE family, which is divided into two subsets based on chromosomal location and expression pattern. MAGE proteins act as ubiquitin ligase regulators in conjunction with E3 RING ubiquitin ligases to form MAGE-RING ligases (MRLs). MAGEL2 has elevated expression in the hypothalamus and functions within a multi-subunit protein comp...

This paper describes a novel adaptive noise cancellation system with fast tunable radial basis function (RBF). The weight coefficients of the RBF network are adapted by the multi-innovation recursive least square (MRLS) algorithm. If the RBF network performs poorly despite of the weight adaptation, an insignificant node with little contribution to the overall performance is replaced with a new ...

The application of phytosanitary products on the ground is one of the main employed procedures to solve the problems of plagues and diseases in olive groves. As a result, there is an increasing unease related to the possible presence of residues from these products in the olive-derived foods. Recent studies have shown that these residues can be found in olives and olive oil (mainly insecticides...

2. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use (CVMP) previously considered triclabendazole and agreed a toxicological ADI of 0.0015 mg/kg bw (i.e. 0.09 mg/person) based on the basis of the increased postpartum mortality of the F2 generation in the two-generation rat reproduction study (NOEL equal to 0.15 mg/kg bw/day) using a safety factor of 100. A validated analytical method base...

Background: Pesticide use for fruits and vegetable production in Uganda may result presence of residues on produce which pose health risks to consumers. This research aimed at conducting a risk assessment pesticide vegetables Kampala Metropolitan Area, Uganda. Method: Pesticides were measured 160 samples analysed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Fruit consumption informatio...

This paper describes a new multichannel method of noisy speech recognition, which estimates the log spectrum of speech at a close-talking microphone based on the multiple regression of the log spectra (MRLS) of noisy signals captured by the distributed microphones. Since the method does not assume the arrangement of sound sources and microphones, it can be applied to in-car speech recognition d...

extensive distribution of hazardous substances in food chain and the deleterious effect of their residues on public health are a great concern of the society. chicken eggs, as one of the most popular food commodities, in different parts of tehran (iran) were analyzed for two groups of hazardous substances including some organochlorine pesticides (oc) such as aldrin, lindane, dieldrin, dichlorod...

Aluminum is a ubiquitous element that is released naturally into the environment via volcanic activity and the breakdown of rocks on the earth's surface. Exposure of the general population to aluminum occurs primarily through the consumption of food, antacids, and buffered analgesics. Exposure to aluminum in the general population can also occur through vaccination, since vaccines often contain...
