This paper describes the algorithm submitted to the Audio Genre Classification task organized for the MIREX 2007 contest. The algorithm has been designed after many tests using different sets of descriptors, different classifiers and tested into different databases. The purpose of all these tests is to create a general system that is capable to deal with different databases and environments. Th...

abstract the purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis first proposed by romer (1993); suggesting that inflation is lower in more open economies. according to this hypothesis, central banks have a lower incentive to engineer surprise inflations in more-open economies because the phillips curve is steeper. furthermore, comparing with other empirical studies, this paper has used the new kof...

Two case histories are presented documenting structural chromosome abnormalities in infertile males. The abnormalities were detected only after application of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was repeatedly unsuccessful or resulted in an abnormal pregnancy. A mosaic Robertsonian translocation 45,XY,der(13;13)(q10; q10)/46,XY,t(13;13)(p10;p10), der(13p;13p) incompatible with normal offspr...

[1] Temperature sensitivity of soil respiration (Q10) is an important parameter in modeling effects of global warming on ecosystem carbon release. Experimental studies of soil respiration have ubiquitously indicated that Q10 has high spatial heterogeneity. However, most biogeochemical models still use a globally constant Q10 in projecting future climate change, partly because no spatial pattern...

This study investigates the possibility providing gully erosion map by the supervised classification of satellite images (ETM) in two mountainous and plain land types. These land types were the part of Varamin plain, Tehran province, and Roodbar subbasin, Guilan province, as plain and mountain land types, respectively. The position of 652 and 124 ground control points were recorded by GPS respe...

Robertsonian translocations (RT’s) are present in 0.1% of the general population and 1% of the infertile population. Two types of RT’s occur more frequently than all others, being 45,XX,rob(13;14)(q10;q10) and 45,XX,rob(14;21)(q10;q10) respectively. In the present report, an uncommon RT in a female with spontaneous repeated abortions is reported. Cytogenetic analysis of a couple with repeated a...

This paper derives a model of maintenance and repair expenses from an analytical framework based on rational economic behavior in which maintenance, utilization and service life are appropriately integrated and estimates it with the help of data from 433 automobiles imported into Greece from various countries. On the theoretical plain it is shown that the model allows endogenously for most of t...

Objective - Honey has been identified statistically, from an extensive record of scholarly journals and media reports, as one the most adulterated ingredients. It a long history dilution, substitution, misrepresentation floral sources, geographical origin. Despite growing reported honey adulteration cases, global market retaining its dominance. According to Market Research Future, demand estima...
