Storaging or transmission of speech signals at very low bit rate is a hot area in the field of speech processing. We used stochastic inter-frame interpolators and vector quantization (VQ) as a new method for developing a high quality 1200 BPS speech vocoder. The objective and subjecgtive test results show that performance of the new vocoder is compairable with 4800 BPS standard vocoders (as CELP).

In this manuscript we develop a fluid-cell interaction and adhesion algorithm applied to modeling the cell coating of artificial surfaces of cardiovascular implants for improved biocompatibility. The fluid-cell interaction and adhesion algorithm proposed in this manuscript is a multi-scale model that captures the process of cell adhesion which occurs at a scale of a few nano meters, and couples...

BACKGROUND HBV DNA is the most important molecular marker in hepatitis B, used to determine treatment indication and monitoring. Most patients require lifelong hepatitis B virus (HBV) management, thus viral load (VL) monitoring may be performed at different laboratories, with different HBV assays, which may result in different VL results. This multicenter study compares the commutability and co...
