Recently, Shifted Delta Cepstral (SDC) feature was reported to produce superior performance to the delta and delta-delta features in cepstral feature based language identification (LID) systems [1, 2]. This paper examines the application of SDC features in speaker verification and evaluates its robustness to channel mismatch, manner of speaking and session variability. The result of the experim...

BACKGROUND To compare the in-hospital mortality and institutional morbidity from medical therapy (MT), external ventricular drainage (EVD) and suboccipital decompressive craniectomy (SDC) following an acute hemorrhagic posterior cranial fossa stroke (PCFH) in patients admitted to the neurosciences critical care unit (NCCU). Retrospective observational single-center cohort study in a tertiary ca...

Statistical agencies release microdata to researchers after applying statistical disclosure control (SDC) methods. Noise addition is a perturbative SDC method which is carried out by adding independent random noise to a continuous variable or by misclassifying values of a categorical variable according to a probability mechanism. Because these errors are purposely introduced into the data by th...

We find interventions targeting serodiscordant couples (SDC) may not be feasible in countries where HIV prevalence is less than 5%, because only 3-19/1000 individuals are HIV-positive/negative and in SDC. Interventions may be feasible in countries where prevalence is greater than 10%, because 34-48/1000 individuals are HIV-positive/negative and in SDC. We calculated that 20-27% of all HIV-posit...

PURPOSE To investigate the molecular events associated with the activation of androgen receptor (AR) as a potential therapeutic target in patients with salivary duct carcinoma (SDC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Comprehensive molecular and expression analysis of the AR gene in 35 tumor specimens (20 males and 15 females) and cell lines derived from SDC using Western blotting and RT-PCR, FISH analysis,...

Statistical disclosure control (SDC) and artificial intelligence (AI) use similar tools for different purposes. This work describes the common elements of both areas to increase their synergy. SDC is a discipline that seeks to modify statistical data so that they can be published (typically by National Statistical Offices) without giving away the identity of any individual behind the data. When...

Classical model Sdc of Dirac particle SD is constructed. SD is the dynamic system described by the Dirac equation. Its classical analog Sdc is described by a system of ordinary differential equations, containing the quantum constant h̄ as a parameter. Dynamic equations for Sdc are determined by the Dirac equation uniquely. Both dynamic systems SD and Sdc appear to be nonrelativistic. One succeed...

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a prototypic aggressive salivary gland carcinoma. Our aim is to determine the prevalence of histologic variants (micropapillary, basal-like) and androgen receptor (AR) expression in a large multi-institutional series of SDC. AR status was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Most SDCs were characterized by an apocrine phenotype and AR expression. Cases with...

This work introduces the high-order Boris-SDC method for integrating the equations of motion for electrically charged particles in an electric and magnetic fields. Boris-SDC relies on a combination of the Boris-integrator with spectral deferred corrections (SDC). SDC can be considered as preconditioned Picard iteration to compute the stages of a collocation method. In this interpretation, inver...
