A simple model is presented for synthesizing binaural sound from a monaural source. The model produces vertical as well as horizontal and externalization effects. The simplicity of the model permits efficient implementation, allowing for realtime multisource operation. Additionally, the parameters in the model can be adjusted to fit a particular individual's characteristics.

Background: Traditionally, the residents ‘competencies such as professionalism, interpersonal and communication skill have been assessed merely based on their faculty’ point of view without feedback. These assessments were neither efficiently, nor sufficiently cover the multi aspects` of residents ‘competencies. These multi aspects competences mandate the need for more all-around evaluations su...

The Multisource Weber problem, also known as the continuous locationallocation problem, or as the Fermat-Weber problem, is considered here. A particular case of the Multisource Weber problem is the minimum sum-of-distances clustering problem, also known as the continuous p-median problem. The mathematical modelling of this problem leads to a min− sum−min formulation which, in addition to its in...

Brachytherapy treatment planning systems (BTPS) are employing the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group 43 (TG-43)-recommended dosimetric parameters of sources, which are measured in water. The majority of brachytherapy implant volumes are not homogeneous media. Particularly, an implant with multiple seeds significantly changes homogeneity of the implant volume. Heter...

BACKGROUND National estimates on per capita alcohol consumption are provided regularly by various sources and may have validity problems, so corrections are needed for monitoring and assessment purposes. Our objectives were to compare different alcohol availability estimates for Spain, to build the best estimate (actual consumption), characterize its time trend during 2001-2011, and quantify th...

We propose to use evidential reasoning in order to relax Bayesian decisions given by a Markovian classification algorithm (ICM). The Dempster–Shafer rule of combination enables us to fuse decisions in a local spatial neighborhood which we further extend to be multisource. This approach enables us to more directly fuse information. Application to the classification of very noisy images produces ...

We show a deterministic constant-time parallel algorithm for finding an almost maximum flow in multisource-multitarget networks with bounded degrees and bounded edge capacities. As a consequence, we show that the value of the maximum flow over the number of nodes is a testable parameter on these networks.
