A deep neural network (DNN) classifier based only on 40 mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) achieved 29.99% frame error rate (FER) and 16.86% segment error rate (SER) in recognizing five tonal categories in Mandarin Chinese broadcast news. With the addition of subband autocorrelation change detection (SACD) pitch-class features [1], the classifier scored 27.58% FER and 15.56% SER. These...

Terminal erythropoiesis is accompanied by extreme demand for iron to ensure proper hemoglobinization. Thus, erythroblasts must modify the “standard” posttranscriptional feedback regulation, balancing expression of ferritin (Fer; iron storage) versus transferrin receptor (TfR1; iron uptake) via specific mRNA binding of iron regulatory proteins (IRPs). Although erythroid differentiation involves ...

The expiration reflex is a distinct airway defensive response characterized by a brief, intense expiratory effort and coordinated adduction and abduction of the laryngeal folds. This study addressed the hypothesis that the ventrolateral medullary respiratory network participates in the reflex. Extracellular neuron activity was recorded with microelectrode arrays in decerebrated, neuromuscular-b...

Tissues obtained from 34 human renal allografts by biopsy, 1 to 31 months after transplantation, were studied by histologic, immunofluorescence, and immunoferritin techniques. Our purpose was to gain more precise information concerning the localization of immunoglobulins and complement in glomeruli and to describe the associated tubular and vascular changes. 1. Localization of fluorescein-label...

117 postmenopausal women were divided into Normal, Bone loss (BL), and Osteoporosis group. Compared with Normal group (120.96 ± 43.18 μg/L), the serum ferritin (Fer) in BL (223.37 ± 130.27 μg/L) and Osteoporosis group (307.50 ± 161.48 μg/L) was significantly increased (p < 0.05). Fer level was negatively correlated with BMD (p < 0.01). TRACP levels in Osteoporosis group (4.37 ± 1.69 U/L) were s...

The Robustness of Facial Expression Recognition (FER) is based on information contained in color facial images. The Tensor Perceptual Color Framework (TPCF) enables multilinear image analysis in different color spaces. This demonstrates that the color components provide additional information for robust FER. By using this framework color components RGB, YCbCr, CIELab or CIELuv space of color im...

The recently proposed united atom force field by Dubbeldam et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2004, 93, 088302) for the adsorption of alkanes in MFI-type zeolites was extended to other zeolites in this work. Its applicability to FER-type zeolites was evaluated in detail, for which the Henry coefficients, the isosteric heat of adsorption, the adsorption isotherms, as well as the locations of alkanes in th...

32 GHz observations with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope revealed a highly polarized Galactic Centre filament: G0.087−0.087, running parallel to the well-known Arc structure. It has a similar flat spectrum, but it is an order of magnitude weaker. G0.087−0.087 is about 2.5 or 6.2 pc long and located at the western boundary of the expanding molecular cloud G0.11−0.11. This unusual cloud is also vi...
