Speech recognition in quiet and in noise was evaluated for children with normal hearing, children with hearing loss, and adults with normal hearing. Performance was evaluated in a classroom environment without use of wireless radio frequency (RF) hearing assistance technology (HAT) and with two different types of classroom audio distribution (CAD) systems (a fi xed-gain multiple loudspeaker sys...

The paper aims to outline the author impact based on Lotka’s Law using R. Lotka’s Law is well known as “the inverse square law of scientifi c productivity.” It states that the number of authors publishing a certain number of articles is a fi xed ratio to the number of authors publishing a single article. The study found authoring patterns do not match to Lotka’s Law. The study summarizes the re...

Pure Holstein (HO, n=430), crosses between Swedish Red and HO (SRxHO, n=41), Montbeliarde and HO (MOxHO, n=18), and MO and SRxHO (MOxSH, n=53) were compared for milk, fat and protein yield, fat and protein percentage, somatic cell count (SCC), milking time (MT), and age at fi rst and second calving. A total of 180,933 test-day information for milk yield and MT, and 5,249 for fat and protein per...

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a primary, usually familial and genetically fi xed myocardial hypertrophy, with dynamic left ventricular outfl ow tract obstruction. An alternative to surgical myectomy in the treatment of severe, drug refractory, HOCM is percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA). We report a case of  year old female patient who had the fi r...

In order to solve domain equations over 1-bounded compact metric spaces, xed points of functors on categories of 1-bounded compact metric spaces are studied. Two categories of 1-bounded compact metric spaces are considered: KMS and KMS E. In both categories, objects are isomorphic if and only if they are isometric. As a consequence, provided that the operation of a domain equation can be extend...

Wi-Fi technology has always been an attractive solution for catering the increasing data demand inmobile networks because of the availability ofWi-Fi networks, the high bit rates they provide, and the lower cost of ownership. However, the legacyWiFi technology lacks of seamless interworking betweenWi-Fi and mobile cellular networks on the one hand, and between Wi-Fi hotspots on the other hand. ...

We present a treatment for mathematical economists of three topics in the theory of xed points: (a) the Lefschetz xed point index; (b) the Lefschetz xed point theorem; (c) the theory of essential sets of xed points. Our treatment is geometric, based on elementary techniques, and largely selfcontained. In particular there is no essential reference to algebraic topology. Within the chosen scope o...

Induction for Horn clauses from data received a major boost from the success of FOIL 1;2;3 as a pioneer clausal learning algorithm. FOIL attempts to explain a target relation (while avoiding a negative set) by incrementally adding clauses that successively increase this explained part. The residue of the target set is obtained by postulating the target set in the antecedents (body) of the gener...

an idea of fuzzy reexivity of felbin's type fuzzy normed linear spaces is introduced and its properties are studied. concept of fuzzy uniform normal structure is given and using the geometric properties of this concept xed point theorems are proved in fuzzy normed linear spaces.
