A novel method for classifying speech phonemes is presented. Unlike traditional cepstral based methods, this approach uses histograms of reconstructed phase spaces. A Naïve Bayes classifier uses the probability mass estimates for classification. The approach is verified using isolated fricative, vowel, and nasal phonemes from the TIMIT corpus. The results show that a reconstructed phase space a...

the :union: of two different dental sprouts which can happen in any phase of dental development is commonly called fusion. this developmental anomaly may cause clinical problems including esthetic impairment, which are mainly treated by endodontic and surgical treatments. there are a few reports of conservative not invasive treatment of fused incisors teeth through restorative or prosthetic tec...

Dynamical mechanisms that can stabilize the coexistence or diversity in biology are generally of fundamental interest. In contrast to many two-strategy evolutionary games, games with three strategies and cyclic dominance like the rock-paper-scissors game (RPS) stabilize coexistence and thus preserve biodiversity in this system. In the limit of infinite populations, resembling the traditional pi...

Recurrence Plots are graphical tools based on Phase Space Reconstruction. Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) is a statistical quantification of RPs. RP and RQA are good at working with non-stationarity and noisy data, in detecting changes in data behavior, in particular in detecting breaks, like a phase transition and in informing about other dynamic properties of a time series. Endogenou...

The pressure exerted by the ambient hot X-ray gas on cluster galaxies can lead to presence of ram stripped (RPS) galaxies, characterized asymmetric shapes, and, in some cases, tails blue stars and/or gas, with increased star formation. We searched for such MS 0451.6-0305 at z~0.5, based Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging covering a region about 6x6 Mpc^2, an eight magnitude ground-based catal...

Spectral phase information is usually discarded in automatic speech recognition (ASR). The Relative Phase Shift (RPS), a novel representation of the phase information of the speech, has features which seem to be appropriate to improve the ASR recognition rate. In this paper we describe the RPS representation, discuss different ways to parameterize this information in a suitable way for the HMM ...

The accelerating growth in the number of protein sequences taxes both the computational and manual resources needed to analyze them. One approach to dealing with this problem is to minimize the number of proteins subjected to such analysis in a way that minimizes loss of information. To this end we have developed a set of Representative Proteomes (RPs), each selected from a Representative Prote...

BACKGROUND Determination of the severity of appendicitis and differentiation between complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis are clinically important. Severe appendicitis frequently affects extraperitoneal spaces. We have investigated CT findings of retroperitoneal space (RPS) in patients with appendicitis to create a model for identification of complicated appendicitis. METHOD CT images o...
