abstract        background and objective: various cellular factors affect the process of hiv activity. one of these cellular factors are structures known as microrn that are expected to be involved in controlling hiv replication and infectivity. the expression of one or a set of them may represent the patient's clinical conditions. in this study,  the expression of mir-29a and mir-29b invo...

We introduce aligned hierarchies, a low-dimensional representation for music-based data streams, such as recordings of songs or digitized representations of scores. The aligned hierarchies encode all hierarchical decompositions of repeated elements from a high-dimensional and noisy music-based data stream into one object. These aligned hierarchies can be embedded into a classification space wit...

Systems for the archival of musical documents digitally and development of digital music libraries are currently being researched and developed extensively. However, adapting these systems for the archival and retrieval of Malaysian music materials might not be as straightforward due to the distinct differences in musical structure and modes of non-Western music. This paper covers the motivatio...

The tonalness spectrum shows the likelihood of a spectral bin being part of a tonal or non-tonal component. It is a non-binary measure based on a set of established spectral features. An easily extensible framework for the computation, selection, and combination of features is introduced. The results are evaluated and compared in two ways. First with a data set of synthetically generated signal...

Response 4: The introduction will be changed to contain: Sussmann et al. 2013 did a similar study on the inter-comparison of methane from MIR and NIR retrievals. They used a Tikhonov-L1 regularized profile retrieval scheme with the standard NDACC retrieval package SFIT2 for the MIR and the standard TCCON retrieval (GFIT) for the NIR spectra. They conclude that the obtainable information from th...
