Prior studies in the automatic classification of voice quality have mainly studied use acoustic speech signal as input. Recently, a few been carried out by jointly using both and neck surface accelerometer (NSA) signals inputs, extracting MFCCs glottal source features. This study examines simultaneously-recorded NSA (breathy, modal, pressed) features derived from three self-supervised pre-train...

Legumes control the nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbiosis in response to external and internal stimuli, such as nitrate, and via systemic autoregulation of nodulation (AON). Overexpression of the CLV3/ESR-related (CLE) pre-propeptide-encoding genes GmNIC1 (nitrate-induced and acting locally) and GmRIC1 (Bradyrhizobium-induced and acting systemically) suppresses soybean nodulation dependent on t...

Glottal source characteristics vary between phonation types due to the tension of laryngeal muscles with respiratory effort. Previous studies in classification type have mainly used speech signals recorded by microphone. Recently, two were published using neck surface accelerometer (NSA) signals. However, there are no previous comparing use acoustic signal vs. NSA as input classifying type. The...

Micro-pulse lidar (MPL) measurements have been widely used in atmospheric research over the past few decades. However, MPL afterpulse noise has a large impact on aerosol measurement middle and upper troposphere, an effective correction method is still lacking. Here, new approach presented by using with low-level optically thick clouds to act as lids blocking signals beyond completely. Examples ...

Skin lipids of mice exposed to NO2 contain lipid-soluble nitrosating agent(s) (NSA) that react in vitro with amines to produce nitrosamines. To test whether this reaction occurs in skin, we exposed mice to 50 ppm NO2 for 4 h and, 20 h later, applied 25 mg morpholine or N-methylaniline to the skin, which was then analyzed for the corresponding nitrosamine. When morpholine was applied, mean N-nit...

QoS guarantee in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks is considered. QDSM (QoS-based Dynamic Scheduling Middleware) is proposed. In QDSM, firstly a combined service QoS Model is established, secondly the application QoS requirement is interpreted and delivered to WMSNs by this model. Besides, a node schedule algorithm (NSA) based on QDSM is designed. Suitable type and number of sensor nodes can ...

In this paper, we have developed an efficient method for real time computation of Center of Pressure (CoP) sway area using a fast search and sort based on a numerical approximation of the Green-Gauss method. In addition, we investigated the correlations among the velocity, acceleration, path length, sway area, and mean frequency of CoP signals during quiet standing in healthy children and in ch...

Abstract Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are both extreme products of galaxy evolution and environments in which to test our understanding star formation. In this work, we contrast the spatially resolved formation activity a sample 22 H i -selected UDGs 35 low-mass from NASA Sloan Atlas (NSA) catalog within 120 Mpc. We employ new joint spectral energy distribution fitting method compute rate stel...
