Long-time average spectrum (LTAS) was used to analyze the cry phonations of 26 infants under four months old; 16 of them are full-term and the other 10 infants are preterm. The results of first spectral peak, mean spectral energy, spectral tilt, high frequency energy were used to compare the cry phonatory between full-term and preterm infants. In addition, cry duration and percent phonation is ...

Saline lakes can increase the soil and water salinity of the coastal areas. The main aim of this study is to distinguish the characteristics of the spectral reflectance of saline soil, analyze the statistical relationship between soil EC and characteristics of the spectral reflectance of saline soil, and to map soil salinity east of the Maharloo Lake. The correlation between field measurements ...

The auditory system calibrates to reliable properties of a listening environment in ways that enhance sensitivity to less predictable (more informative) aspects of sounds. These reliable properties may be spectrally local (e.g., peaks) or global (e.g., gross tilt), but the time course over which the auditory system registers and calibrates to these properties is unknown. Understanding temporal ...

PURPOSE To measure tilt and decentration of intraocular lenses (IOLs) with Scheimpflug and Purkinje imaging systems in physical model eyes with known amounts of tilt and decentration and patients. SETTING Instituto de Optica Daza de Valdés, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid, Spain. METHODS Measurements of IOL tilt and decentration were obtained using a commercial Schei...

The next generation of cosmological observations are expected to improve the measurements several quantities connected primordial inflation in early Universe. These include, for example, improved spectral index scalar curvature power spectrum and also bring a better understanding on scaling dependence spectrum. This includes running tilt possibly, also, running. In this paper, we investigate po...

The interactions between H1 and H2, the two polypeptides comprising the human asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R), were investigated by immunofluorescence and lateral mobility measurements combined with antibody-mediated cross-linking and immobilization. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed two ASGP-R populations on the cell surface, one homogeneously distributed and the other in micropatche...

Wavefront measurements of a turbulent boundary layer were performed at the University of Notre Dame. Optical access windows to the tunnel were instrumented with 16 accelerometers to measure the tunnel-induced vibrations in the optical windows. A combination of spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Linear Stochastic Estimation (LSE) were used to remove vibration induced effects in t...
