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...

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the world, but there are no satisfactory biomarkers for lung cancer detection. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the gene expressions at the posttranscription level. Many microRNAs are dysregulated and shows specific expression patterns in human cancer. The aim of this study is to profile circulating microRNAs i...

miRNAs have been found in acute myocardial infarction,11 acute coronary syndrome,12 stable coronary artery disease (CAD),13 heart failure,14 essential hypertension,15 and stroke.16 miRNAs have many functions in physiological and pathological states, and some miRNAs have been shown to have a significant effect on lipid homeostasis.9,17,18 Dyslipidemia and related metabolic disorders continue to ...

Abstract. This study uses large-eddy simulations (LESs) to evaluate two widely used observational techniques that estimate point source emissions. We the use of car measurements perpendicular wind direction and commonly Other Test Method 33A (OTM 33A). The LES simulates a plume from released into stationary, homogeneous, neutral atmospheric surface layer over flat terrain. choice is motivated b...

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...
