The topic of this paper is speech modeling using the Variational Bayesian Mixture of Gaussians algorithm proposed by Hagai Attias (2000). Several mixtures of Gaussians were trained for representing cepstrum vectors computed from the TIMIT database. The VB-MOG algorithm was compared to the standard EM algorithm. VB-MOG was clearly better, its convergence was faster, there was no tendency to over...

We investigate the contributions of Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker metric standard cosmology as an asymptotic boundary condition on first-order approximation gravitational field in Moffat's theory modified gravity (MOG). also consider due to fact that MOG does not satisfy shell theorem or Birkhoff's theorem, resulting what is known "external effect" (EFE). show while both these effects a...

BACKGROUND Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) is a powerful technique for the qualitative and quantitative detection of biomolecules used widely in both basic research and clinical diagnostic applications. Beads displaying a specific antigen are used to bind antibodies which are then fluorescently labelled using secondary antibodies. As the individual suspension bead passes through the ...

BACKGROUND Most patients with multiple sclerosis initially present with a clinically isolated syndrome. Despite the fact that clinically definite multiple sclerosis will develop in up to 80 percent of these patients, the course of the disease is unpredictable at its onset and requires long-term observation or repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We investigated whether the presence of ser...

Background Fetal cardiovascular MRI has been hampered by the lack of a reliable cardiac gating signal. A recently proposed solution to this problem is metric optimized gating (MOG) [1-3]. Here, we demonstrate the ability of MOG to acquire images of the fetal myocardium without conventional cardiac gating. Our work is motivated by the need for high-resolution dynamic imaging in the assessment of...

Abstract The main pathogenic feature of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein associated disease (MOGAD) is the presence autoantibodies against water channel, aquaporin-4 (AQP4) (MOG), respectively. However, underlying mechanisms in which B cells from these patients produce largely unknown. Our study aims to establish a human culture system that ...

Previous work has shown that the giant fibres (GFs) of the hermit crab make excitatory electrical connections with the motor giant (MoG) and segmental giant (SG) neurones, and that the SGs in turn make connections to fast flexor (FF) motor neurones. In this paper we show that synchronous or almost-synchronous IPSPs can be elicited in all three classes of neurone by electrical stimulation of the...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative autoimmune disease of the CNS. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a commonly used murine model for MS. Here we report that CD137 ligand (CD137L, 4-1BB ligand, TNFS9), a member of the TNF superfamily, is critical for the development of EAE. EAE symptoms were significantly ameliorated in CD137L(-/-) mice. In the absence of CD137L, myelin o...
