In the development of a syllable-centric ASR system, segmentation of the acoustic signal into syllabic units is an important stage. This paper presents a minimum phase group delay based approach to segment spontaneous speech into syllablelike units. Here, three different minimum phase signals are derived from the short term energy functions of three sub-bands of speech signals, as if it were a ...

We describe a multi-scale, liver-centric in silico modeling framework for acetaminophen pharmacology and metabolism. We focus on a computational model to characterize whole body uptake and clearance, liver transport and phase I and phase II metabolism. We do this by incorporating sub-models that span three scales; Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling of acetaminophen uptake and...

We made a cytogenetic study of Rineloricaria pentamaculata from the Tauá Stream, in the Pirapó River sub-basin in Paraná State, Brazil, focused on the occurrence and origins of the B chromosomes. The diploid number varied from 2n = 56 to 2n = 59, due to the presence of 0 to 3 B microchromosomes of the acrocentric type, which were observed in 92.3% of the specimens (N = 12). These chromosomes we...

This research investigates whether or not employee engagement has an impact on upselling effectiveness in the car rental service industry, where upselling is a key performance metric for customer development. Our empirical strategy employs a series of simple empirical tests based on measures of engagement constructed using various sub-groups of employees and questions. The main results demonstr...

This paper presents concepts, content, status, applications and challenges of chat as used in the military context of secure net-centric command and control. It describes the importance of chat as it contributes to situation assessment and the common operating picture, which presents current collective knowledge of the battle space. The paper discusses future chat capabilities and outlines the ...

introduction: angle and internal position of lateral pterygoid muscle leads to contraction over two half of the mandible in maximum opening and protrusion position so it can affects impression prosthetic procedures. the aim of this study was to evaluate the mandibular flexure in two transverse and antro-posterior dimensions. methods: seventy edentulous patients at mashhad faculty of dentistry a...
