The proposed Missing Feature Linear-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MF-LFCC) is a noise robust cepstral feature that transforms both clean and noisy signals into a similar representation. Unlike conventional Missing Feature Techniques, the MF-LFCC does not require the substitution of spectrogram elements (imputation) or classifier modification (marginalization). To improve the noise mask used ...

In this paper, we examine rst and second order asymptotic theory for two estima-tors in a linear quantile model in the case where the response is observed multiple times at xed covariate vectors x 1 ; ; x k. The rst estimator is the regression quantile esti-mator introduced by Koenker and Bassett (1978) while the second estimator is a least squares estimator on the sample quantiles of the respo...

Multiple M-mode echocardiographic indices of left ventricular function are currently in use, but their reliability is disputed. Therefore, we correlated echo ejection fraction (EF) using quadratic (Q) and cubic (C) formulae, percentage of minor axis shortening (%S), mean velocity of circumferential fiber shortening (mVCF), and peak VCF with angiographic EF in 37 subjects, including 10 normal su...

background: the prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. in this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results.   methods: four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early we...

purpose: to assess the results of combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract extraction by extracapsular extraction versus phacoemulsification and to compare outcomes and complications. methods: in this interventional retrospective study, 76 eyes that had undergone triple surgery were included. cataract surgery was done in two different methods of extracapsular extraction and phacoemulsific...

Representation and modeling of economic uncertainty is addressed by different modeling methods, namely stochastic variables and probabilities, interval analysis, and fuzzy numbers, in particular triple estimates. Fo-cusing on discounted cash flow analysis numerical results are presented, comparisons are made between alter-native modeling methods, and characteristics of the methods are discussed.

3D human pose estimation by grouping body joints according to anatomical relationship is currently a popular and effective method. For grouped estimation, fusing features of different groups together effectively the key step ensure integrity whole prediction. However, existing methods for feature fusion between require large number network parameters, thus are often computational expensive. In ...

One part of serum is mixed with six parts of / distilled water when a turbidity forms. The precipitated globulin, after being uniformly mixed with the diluted serum, is poured into a graduated cylinder, the diameter of which is 1 inch. On looking through the height of the fluid containing the precipitated globulin over some black spots fixed to the bottom of the cylinder and adding more and mor...

helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastric ulcer, adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (malt) lymphoma. up to now, different regimens have been used for helicobacter pylori (h.pylori) eradication to find the most potent and cost-effective regimen with less side effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of standard triple therapy versus quadruple therap...
