The "bag-of-frames" (BOF) approach, which encodes audio signals as the long-term statistical distribution of short-term spectral features, is commonly regarded as an effective and sufficient way to represent environmental sound recordings (soundscapes). The present paper describes a conceptual replication of a use of the BOF approach in a seminal article using several other soundscape datasets,...

Bacteriophage P1 encodes several regulatory elements for the lytic or lysogenic response, which are located in the immC, immI, and immT regions. Their products are the C1 repressor of lytic functions with the C1 inactivator protein Coi, the C4 repressor of antirepressor synthesis and the modulator protein Bof, respectively. We have studied in vitro the interaction of the components of the immC ...

Hydrogen-based direct reduction is a promising technology for CO2 lean steelmaking. The electric arc furnace the most relevant aggregate processing reduced iron (DRI). As DRI usually added into arc, behavior in this area of great interest. A laboratory-scale hydrogen plasma smelting (HPSR) reactor was used to analyze that under inert conditions. Four cases were compared: carbon-free and carbon-...

eaf plants normally consume coal and coke as reactants, alloying elements, or fuel. the price of these materials varies from € 0.20-0.35/kg. this is while nearly 10 million pieces of tires are annually discarded in iran. the present study shows that scrap tires can be used as a substitute for coal and coke in eaf plants. thirteen grades of steel including low, medium, and high carbon steels as ...

Abstract About 800,000 t of BOF slag are generated per year during the steel production process by Austrian plants voestalpine. legislative authorities restrict use as recycling construction material in road building to bituminous binder course, which additionally includes a lifetime responsibility producer for possible future contaminants that currently have not been considered. Alternative ro...

INTRODUCTION Cancer is a complex disorder whose detection and monitoring remains challenging. A biological modeling system, the biology of functions (BoF), claims to be able to evaluate physiologic elements related to carcinogenic activity. A pilot study was undertaken to evaluate the accuracy of the BoF in detecting differences between cancer cases and matched controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS...
