We present a Modular Neural Network (MNN) for phoneme recognition within the framework of a hybrid system (neural networks and HMMs) for speakerindependent single word recognition. With this approach, we are taking the computational effort into account which is used as an additional criterion for assessing the system performance. The main idea of the proposed MNN is the distribution of the comp...

In this paper, inspired by the mechanism of memory and prediction in our brains [2], we propose a straightforward and effective memorybased gait recognition method (MGR) to realize the memory and recognition process of the gait sequences. Because of various covariates including carrying, clothing, surface and view angle, we extract the robust 2D joint location information via the joint extracti...

We examine the thermal origin of detected “saw-tooth” shaped Hall resistance ([Formula: see text]) signals in spin–orbit torque switching experiment for antiferromagnetic MnN. Compared with results heavy metal/antiferromagnet bilayers (MnN/Ta), qualitatively same also appear samples metal layer alone (either Ta or Pt) without MnN layer. In addition, [Formula: text] signal changes oppositely dev...

This paper studies a new form of nearest neighbor queries in spatial databases, namely, mutual nearest neighbor (MNN) search. Given a set D of objects and a query object q, an MNN query returns from D, the set of objects that are among the k 1 (P1) nearest neighbors (NNs) of q; meanwhile, have q as one of their k 2 (P1) NNs. Although MNN queries are useful in many applications involving decisio...

Simulating natural phenomena at greater accuracy results in an explosive growth of data. Largescale simulations with particles currently involve ensembles consisting of between 10-10 particles, which cover 10-10 timesteps. Thus, the data files produced in a single run can reach from tens of gigabytes to hundreds of terabytes. This data bank allows one to reconstruct the spatio-temporal evolutio...

Using density functional calculations, it is shown that pure MnN is stable in zincblende rather than in the experimentally reported distorted rocksalt structure. However, about 4% N vacancies are found to stabilize the rocksalt structure. It is found that C and O substitutions on N and Ga on Mn also favor rocksalt but Ni, SN, FeMn, and CoMn stabilize zincblende. This suggests that zincblende Mn...

Objective. The possible effect of blood pressure measurements per se on heart rate variability (HRV) was studied in the setting of concomitant ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and Holter ECG monitoring (HM). Methods. In 25 hypertensive patients (14 women and 11 men, mean age: 58.1 years), 24-hour combined ABPM and HM were performed. For every blood pressure measurement, 2-minute ECG ...

BACKGROUND In chronic Chagas disease (ChD), impairment of cardiac autonomic function bears prognostic implications. Phase‑rectification of RR-interval series isolates the sympathetic, acceleration phase (AC) and parasympathetic, deceleration phase (DC) influences on cardiac autonomic modulation. OBJECTIVE This study investigated heart rate variability (HRV) as a function of RR-interval to ass...
