In this paper, we model the underlying probability density function (PDF) of the speech line spectral frequencies (LSF) parameters with a Dirichlet mixture model (DMM). The LSF parameters have two special features: 1) the LSF parameters have a bounded range; 2) the LSF parameters are in an increasing order. By transforming the LSF parameters to the ΔLSF parameters, the DMM can be used to model ...

پژوهشگران اخیراً پنل‌های چندلایه‌ی متشکل از الوارهای متقاطع چوبی (C‌L‌T) را به عنوان یکی مناسب‌ترین ماده‌های ساختمانی دارای کمترین اثرات منفی زیست محیطی معرفی کرده‌اند. در طرح سازه‌ی ترکیبی فولادی ـ ارائه شده پژوهش حاضر، قاب ساختمان نوع بوده و برای کف‌ها دیوارهای برشی سازه افقی قائم C‌L‌T استفاده است. جهت بررسی عملکرد سیستم ای پیشنهادی، یک ۶ طبقه با دو باربر جانبی شامل: الف) خمشی متوسط دیافراگم ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Despite the prevalence of HCC, there is no effective, systemic treatment. The transcription factor LSF is a promising protein target for chemotherapy; it is highly expressed in HCC patient samples and cell lines, and promotes oncogenesis in rodent xenograft models of HCC. Here, we identify small molecules that effectively...

We report the case of a 42-year-old non-smoking man, who had worked as a carpenter for 6 years and who reported a history of rhinorrhea, paroxysmal sneezing, nasocular pruritus, lacrimation, wheezing and dyspnea attacks while preparing a mixture to seal the junctures between wooden panels. Allergy study consisted of skin prick testing (SPT) to inhalants, foods and Lathyrus sativus flour (LSF) e...

We have identified a cellular transcription factor from uninfected HeLa cells that stimulates the simian virus 40 (SV40) late mode of transcription and specifically binds the SV40 21-base-pair repeat promoter element. In particular, the late SV40 transcription factor (LSF) stimulates transcription at initiation sites L325 and L264 of the SV40 late promoter, which are the major transcription sit...

RÉSUMÉ. Notre travail se situe dans le cadre de la traduction automatique du français vers la langue des signes française (LSF) avec synthèse de gestes au moyen d’un signeur virtuel. Nous présentons tout d’abord quelques éléments descriptifs et théoriques de la LSF. Après avoir situé notre travail, nous proposons une formalisation de la partie dite standard du lexique de la LSF et de quelques p...

Purpose. The aim of the study was to assess the in vitro potency of pentoxifylline (PTX) and one of its most active metabolites lisofylline (LSF) to improve rheological properties of red blood cells (RBC) from healthy individuals and patients with chronic venous disease (CVD). Additionally, the study aimed to compare the effects of PTX and LSF on RBC deformability and aggregation. Methods. Bloo...

It has been suggested that visual scene recognition is mainly based on spatial frequency (Fourier) analysis of the image. This analysis starts with processing low spatial frequencies (LSF), followed by processing high spatial frequencies (HSF). Within the framework of the spatial frequency analysis, the right/left hemisphere would be predominantly involved in LSF/HSF analysis, respectively. The...

Distinct visual pathways are selectively tuned for processing specific spatial frequencies. Recently, Awasthi, Friedman, and Williams (2011) reported fast categorisation of faces at periphery, arguing for primacy of low spatial frequency (LSF) information in face processing. However, previous studies have also documented rapid categorization of places and natural scenes. Here, we tested if the ...

Our previous study demonstrated a decreased expression of tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101) in cervical cancer cells. To identify the mechanism responsible for TSG101 downregulation during cervical cancer development, we analyzed the TSG101 promoter using cis-element cluster finder software. One of the transcription factors whose binding site was detected in the TSG101 promoter was late SV...
