investigation of the interrelationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiency of a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study, the relationship among yield components and their direct and indirect influences on the total yield of melon were investigated. the study was based on evaluation of 49 entries gener-ated from a 7×7 diallel involving irania...

Techniques for separating speech from background noise and other sources of interference have important applications for robust speech recognition and speech enhancement. Many traditional computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) based approaches decompose the input mixture into a time-frequency (T-F) representation, and attempt to identify the T-F units where the target energy dominates tha...

Aim: The study was undertaken to quantify and to analyze the changes in the motion characteristics of bull spermatozoa during various stages of cryopreservation cycle. Materials and Methods: Using computer assisted semen analysis (CASA) technique, 26 ejaculates, collected from two Jersey bulls were analyzed for motility, head behaviour and swimming pattern of spermatozoa on dilution, pre-freeze...

CASA (Computer assisted semen analysis) systems are designed to assist Andrologist labour. Most available CASA systems are not accurate or so expensive. Therefore labours use manual methods to provide parameters. Although some companies have achieved appropriate accuracy, they have not released their methods. So proposing methods in this area might be useful for groups who intend to design new ...

It is well known that human beings can often attend to a single sound source within a mixed signal from multiple sources, and that unaided automatic speech recognition (without the benefit of effective blind source separation) is quite poor at this task. Here we report on the analysis of human cortical signals to demonstrate the relative robustness of these signals to the mixed signal phenomeno...
