A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word. The proposed approach improves the performance of KWS even when no training speech is available for the keywords. It also suggests an easier way to co...

An experiment was conducted to study the performance of broilers chicks (2 to 42 d of age) fed diets containing pearl millet (PM, Pennisetum typhoides), foxtail millet (FOM, Setaria italica) or finger millet (FIM, Elusine coracana) totally replacing (w/w) yellow maize (YM) with and with out supplementing non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) hydrolysing enzymes at the rate of 0.5 g/kg diet. Enzyme pr...

OBJECTIVE To examine the frequency of and factors associated with fear of movement (FOM) among patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA), using the new Brief Fear of Movement (BFOM) measure. METHODS Participants (n = 350) enrolled in a clinical trial completed the BFOM scale prior to randomization. The relationships of BFOM with the following characteristics were examined: age, sex,...

background: a boron neutron capture therapy (bnct) facility, based on a dt neutron generator, with the final goal to find out a potential, alternative, solution to existing bnct treatment facilities which are based on nuclear reactors is examined. materials and methods: with the aim of the mcnp4b monte carlo code different beam-shaping assembly (bsa) configurations were considered. lead was sel...

In European aquaculture, Eurasian perch, Perca fluviatilis L., is perceived as one of the most highly valuable freshwater fish species and a strong candidate for development aquaculture. pursuit improving quality reproduction in this domesticated species, investigating hormones mediating final oocyte maturation (FOM) therefore indispensable. But, exact nature maturation-inducing hormone (MIH) p...

This article presents a wide-band suppression technique of flicker phase noise (PN) by means gate–drain shift in transformer-based complementary oscillator. We identify that after naturally canceling its second-harmonic voltage the operation itself, third-harmonic current entering capacitive path is now main cause asymmetry rising and falling edges, leading to <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://...

A set of first-order model (FOM) equations, describing the sheared convective boundary layer (CBL) evolution, is derived. The model output is compared with predictions of the zero-order bulk model (ZOM) for the same CBL type. Large eddy simulation (LES) data are employed to test both models. The results show an advantage of the FOM over the ZOM in the prediction of entrainment, but in many CBL ...
