introduction to extract and combine information from different modalities, fusion techniques are commonly applied to promote system performance. in this study, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of fusion techniques in emotion recognition. materials and methods electrocardiogram (ecg) and galvanic skin responses (gsr) of 11 healthy female students (mean age: 22.73±1.68 years) were collected ...

background: cervical cancer has been shown to be highly associated with human papillomavirus (hpv) infection. the viral oncogenes e6 and e7 are constantly expressed by the tumor cells and are therefore potent targets for therapeutic genetic vaccination. in the present study, it was investigated the potential effect of hpv-16 e6, e7 and l1 co-administration to activate specific cytotoxic t lymph...

in this study, an artificial neural network was developed in order to analyze flexible pavement structure anddetermine its critical responses under the influence of standard axle loading. in doing so, more than 10000four-layered flexible pavement sections composed of asphalt concrete layer, base layer, subbase layer, andsubgrade soil were analyzed under the impact of standard axle loading. pave...

Three decades of research demonstrate that individual differences in subjective response (SR) to acute alcohol effects predict heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems. However, the SR patterns conferring the greatest risk remain under debate. Morean and Corbin (2010) highlighted that extant SR measures commonly have limitations within the following areas: assessment of a comprehensive range...

Currently, the most useful application of high-frequency (greater than or equal to 8 kHz) auditory evaluation is for serial monitoring of patients receiving potentially ototoxic agents. Many individuals, however, are unable to respond to behavioral auditory test techniques. An objective evaluation method such as the auditory brainstem response (ABR) is valuable with difficult-to-test individual...

This book, first published in the United States in *939, has now been published in Great Britain. It is very readable and delightfully illustrated with 29 drawings and paintings. Mrs. Wickes is a Jungian analyst and her book Provides an excellent introduction to analytical Psychology and is based on case material collected ?ver years of practice. In the first section Jungian concepts are explai...

UNLABELLED Studies have reported compatibility between hearing and electrophysiological thresholds in the auditory brainstem response (ABR) with tone burst stimuli. AIMS to verify waves I, III, V and their latency times for tone bursts at 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz and at 80 dB HL, and to compare tone burst electrophysiological thresholds with those obtained from audiological and psychoacous...

The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is commonly used as a neonatal hearing screening tool. The degree to which myogenic and/or movement artifact can confound the ABR in neonates, and the effect this has on screening pass-fail rates, although widely recognized, have not been reported. This study addressed these aspects in a clinical setting. Fifty-two high-risk neonates were screened in variou...

In mice, the auditory brainstem response (ABR) is frequently used to assess hearing status in transgenic hearing models. The diagnostic value of the ABR depends on knowledge about the anatomical sources of its characteristic waves. Here, we studied the contribution of the inferior colliculus (IC) to the click-evoked scalp ABR in mice. We demonstrate a non-invasive correlate of the IC response t...

Sensory systems function most efficiently when processing natural stimuli, such as vocalizations, and it is thought that this reflects evolutionary adaptation. Among the best-described examples of evolutionary adaptation in the auditory system are the frequent matches between spectral tuning in both the peripheral and central auditory systems of anurans (frogs and toads) and the frequency spect...
