introduction: few researches have been conducted researches on the influence of the type of dental stone used for fabrication of casts on the adaptation of denture bases. the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of two types of stone casts on the accuracy of fit in complete denture bases. methods: using sixty fully replicated master casts obtained by duplicating a metal die represent...

two-dimensional euler equations have been solved on an unstructured grid. an upwind finite volume scheme, based on roes flux difference splitting method, is used to discretize the equations. using advancing front method, an initial delaunay triangulation has been made. the adaptation procedure involves mesh enrichment coarsening in regions of flow with high low gradients of flow properties, acc...

This paper proposes a method to automatically extract keywords from baseball radio speech through LVCSR for highlight scene retrieval. For robust recognition, we employed acoustic and language model adaptation. In acoustic model adaptation, supervised and unsupervised adaptations were carried out using MLLR+MAP. By this two level adaptation, word accuracy was improved by 28%. In language model ...

Most neurons in the primary visual cortex initially respond vigorously when a preferred stimulus is presented, but adapt as stimulation continues. The functional consequences of adaptation are unclear. Typically a reduction of firing rate would reduce single neuron accuracy as less spikes are available for decoding, but it has been suggested that on the population level, adaptation increases co...

Adaptation is the essential process by which an organism becomes better suited to its environment. The benefits of adaptation are well documented, but the cost it incurs remains poorly understood. Here, by analysing a stochastic model of a minimum feedback network underlying many sensory adaptation systems, we show that adaptive processes are necessarily dissipative, and continuous energy consu...
