Cardiac baroreflex function may be assessed from spontaneous fluctuation of systolic arterial pressure (SAP) and R-R interval. In previous studies, time-domain sequence and cross-spectral analysis had been applied to present the baroreflex response of cardiac system. Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is also a promising algorithm to evaluate the fluctuations under various timescales. Thus, w...

A lab-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and six full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) were surveyed. The abundance of Accumulibacter-related organisms in the full-scale plants was investigated using fluorescent in situ hybridization. Accumulibacter-related organisms were present in all of the full-scale EBPR plants, at levels ...

MPEG’s low-delay audio codecs AAC-LD and AACELD are capable of providing natural audio in perceptually high quality with an algorithmic system delay1 in the range from 20 to 46.9 mS. The AAC-ELD scheme, in particular, which is basically formed out of AAC-LD and SBR, produces high-quality wideband audio at bit rates between 24 kbps and 48 kbps maintaining a relatively low algorithmic delay of 31...

We present an approach to estimate encoder parameters from previously MP3PRO-compressed, then decompressed audio material. The algorithm has been designed to identify the presence of spectral band replication (SBR), and for bit-rate detection. Furthermore, MP3 compression parameters like frame offset and block type are detected. As evaluation results show, the approach is able to identify SBR w...

Microbial treatment of bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (BEHP) contaminated soil was evaluated in batch and sequencing batch reactors (SBR) using a mixed bacterial culture isolated from a BEHP-contaminated site. The BEHP-degrading mixed culture had three predominant component strains, Bre ibacterium iodinum, Rhodococcus luteus and Bacillus bre is. For soil slurry SBR studies, the hydraulic residence ...

The most viable support for connectionless tra c over ATM uses connectionless servers that forward packets based on the destination address in each packet. To achieve high data rates with small latency and predictable cell delay variation, this forwarding process must be carried out e ciently. This paper proposes a functional architecture, called switch-borne router (SBR), which incorporates co...

We found that mutations in small bristles (sbr) affect several tissues during the development of the fruit fly. In sbr embryos, neurons have defects in pathfinding and the body wall muscles have defective morphology. As adults, sbr flies have smaller and thinner bristles with a reduced diameter, suggesting a defective cytoskeleton within. The phenotypes we observe are consistent with defects in...

Abstract This paper reports the results of effects oleamide addition on hardness, as one mechanical behaviours, styrene butadiene rubber/silica (SBR/silica) composite. The base SBR was compounded with silica, a reinforcing filler, and others compounding chemicals. silica into rubber matrix at 30 phr chemicals were added based semi-efficient formulation. has been done using opened two-roll mills...
