This paper proposed a correlation based method using the autocorrelation function and the YIN. The autocorrelation function and also YIN is a popular measurement in estimating fundamental frequency in time domain. The performance of these two methods, however, is effected due to the position of dominant harmonics (usually the first formant) and the presence of spurious peaks introduced in noisy...

Let D denote a disk of unit area. We call a set A ⊂ D perfect if it has measure 1/2 and, with respect to any axial symmetry of D, the maximal symmetric subset of A has measure 1/4. We call a curve β in D an yin-yang line if • β splits D into two congruent perfect sets, • β crosses each concentric circle of D twice, • β crosses each radius of D once. We prove that Fermat’s spiral is a unique yin...

The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Xiong-gui-tiao-xue-yin, a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, in stimulating lactation in the postpartum period. We enrolled 82 women who had a normal delivery in Osaka Medical College Hospital, and randomly assigned them to the following two groups: a group of 41 women who received Xiong-gui-tiao-xue-yin at a dose ...
