We propose a novel framework for noise robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) based on cochlear implant-like spectrally reduced speech (SRS). Two experimental protocols (EPs) are proposed in order to clarify the advantage of using SRS for noise robust ASR. These two EPs assess the SRS in both the training and testing environments. Speech enhancement was used in one of two EPs to improve the ...

The main features of Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) are preand postnatal growth restriction and a characteristic small, triangular face. SRS is also accompanied by other dysmorphic features including fifth finger clinodactyly and skeletal asymmetry. The disorder is clinically and genetically heterogeneous, and various modes of inheritance and abnormalities involving chromosomes 7, 8, 15, 17, and...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) combined with streotactic radiosurgery versus stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) alone for patients with brain metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study that evaluated the results of 46 patients treated for brain metastases at Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training an...

Local progression (LP) and radiation necrosis (RN) occur in >20% of cases following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases (BM). Expected outcomes following SRS for BM include tumor control/shrinkage, local progression and radiation necrosis. 1427 patients with 4283 BM lesions were treated using SRS at Cleveland Clinic from 2000 to 2012. Clinical, imaging and radiosurgery data wer...

We retrospectively compared the outcomes and toxicities of melanoma brain metastases (MBM) patients treated with BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) with SRS alone. We identified 87 patients with 157 MBM treated with SRS alone from 2005 to 2013. Of these, 15 (17.2%) patients with 32 MBM (21.4%) received BRAFi therapy: three (20.0%) before SRS, two (13.3%) concurrent, and...

BACKGROUND Multiple clinical scoring systems have been proposed for Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). Here we aimed to test a clinical scoring system for SRS and to analyse the correlation between (epi)genotype and phenotype. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Sixty-nine patients were examined by two physicians. Clinical scores were generated for all patients, with a new, six-item scoring system: (1) small fo...

BACKGROUND Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is known to safely result in a high obliteration rate for small and medium sized arteriovenous malformations (AVM). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term outcome of patients treated with SRS, with special emphasis given to obliteration and toxicity rates. METHODS We performed a review of 43 cerebral AVM patients, treated from 1998 to 2008 with a sing...

Research on the function of acoustic signals has focused on high-amplitude long-range songs (LRS) and largely ignored low-amplitude songs produced by many species during close-proximity, conspecific interactions. Low-amplitude songs can be structurally identical to LRS (soft LRS), or they can be widely divergent, sharing few spectral and temporal attributes with LRS (short-range song [SRS]). SR...

Abstract The coupling evolutions of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and rescattering (re-SRS) are investigated under the parameter conditions relevance to gas-filled hohlraum experiments at National Ignition Facility by using nonenveloped fluid code FLAME. It is found that re-SRS works as a frequency filter backscattered light SRS in gas region. low modes scattered originated from higher dens...

Perfusion of cat paws with compound 48/80 released two slow reacting substances (SRSs) which were isolated and characterized as 5-hydroxy-6-S-cysteinylglycyl-7,9,11,14-icosatetraenoic acid (SRS I) and 5-hydroxy-6-S-cysteinyl-7,9,11,14-icosatetraeonic acid (SRS II) on the basis of chemical degradations, amino acid analyses, spectroscopic and enzymic experiments, and comparison with synthetic sam...
