Every person in the world want to share their information, thoughts from one person to another. So communication plays very important role into that. Speech is the primary means of communication. Hindi is very popular and well known language of India. Everybody understands and speak and write easily. Our System developed for Hindi Text to Speech and Speech to Text Conversion mainly into the Hin...

We report the discovery of a low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) stellar population in the younger subgroup of the Cepheus OB3 association, Cep OB3b, using UBVI CCD photometry and follow-up spectroscopy. The optical survey covers about 1300 square arcmin on the sky and gives a global photometric and astrometric catalogue for more than 7000 objects. The location of a PMS is well defined in a V vers...

OBJECTIVES To examine the effectiveness of a five-level Paediatric Triage and Acuity System (Ped-TTAS) by comparing the reliability of patient prioritisation and resource utilisation with the four-level Paediatric Taiwan Triage System (Ped-TTS) among non-trauma paediatric patients in the emergency department (ED). METHODS The study design used was a retrospective longitudinal analysis based o...

Fentanyl, a surgical analgesic and general anaesthetic, is a lipophilic short-acting synthetic opioid, having a selective potent effect on mu receptors. The transdermal therapeutic fentanyl-system (TTS-F) allows for a continued and sustained titratable amount of fentanyl to be delivered without the inconvenience of the typical 24-h administration of other analgesics. Although incidences of resp...

The two cases of women in their mid-40s who experienced Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) in the setting of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), reported by Yu et al. in the January issue of Clinical Endoscopy, are interesting because the patients were premenopausal, had midventricular TTS, were under conscious sedation, and did not appear to be under stress during the procedure. The first patient initiall...

The purpose of summary of an article is to facilitate quick and accurate identification of the topic of published document. The objective is to save a prospective reader's time and effort in finding the useful information in a given article. This paper considers the task of text normalization in concatinative Text To Speech (TTS) synthesis for Kannada language. The main focus is to have a singl...

Supernumerary pronucleated stage oocytes (PN) are usually cryopreserved. PN are transferred in spontaneous, stimulated or artificial cycles. In this study, an artificial cycle with a transdermal therapeutic system was used for oestradiol release (Estraderm TTS 100) in combination with a targeted drug delivery system for vaginal progesterone release (Crinone 8%). Patients started transdermal 17b...

IMPORTANCE Tympanostomy tube (TT) biofilm formation may lead to sequelae. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the acute pathogen Haemophilus influenzae promotes TT attachment and biofilm formation by the chronic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. DESIGN AND SETTING Controlled, in vitro microbiological study at an academic research laboratory using TTs treated with 0 (untreated), 10, or 3000 µg/mL c...

In this paper, we develop T-Trefftz Voronoi Cell Finite Elements (VCFEM-TTs) for micromechanical modeling of composite and porous materials. In addition to a homogenous matrix in each polygon-shaped element, three types of arbitrarily-shaped heterogeneities are considered in each element: an elastic inclusion, a rigid inclusion, or a void. In all of these three cases, an inter-element compatibl...

Two camptothecin-resistant cell lines, CPT30 and KB100, were established and characterized previously in our laboratory. Because enhanced sensitivity to 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) and decreased expression of O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) protein were observed in these lines, we hypothesized that MGMT may be a determinant of cytotoxicity associated with camptothec...
