Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThai Speech Coding Based On Conjugate-Structure Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction AlgorithmSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In mobile communication, speech coding aims at compressing the speech with lowest bitrate and highest quality for standard languages such as English, German and French. As for other languages with different uttering styles, the encoded speech quality is not guaranteed at the same bitrate. The appropriate evaluation should be performed to develop the speech quality by applying some … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2011 · 7,352 accessesView PDF Cite

Huat, Lee Chee HaiSince the invention of Reinforced Earth by the French architect Hendri Vidal in 1966, numerous reinforced soil walls have been designed and constructed all over the world. In this study the focus was on a particular type of reinforced wall called Nehemiah wall which differed from the Vidal type in the sense that instead of steel strips, the reinforcing elements … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,258 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWaste Characterization in Steel Casting and Recycling Opportunities in EuropeSilvia Fiore, Maria Chiara Zanetti, Barbara RuffinoThe wastes coming from a steel foundry located in Italy, producing about 600,000 t/y of steel slabs, are considered in this work. The plant produces about 143,000 t/y of wastes, made of furnace and ladle slags (84%), pelletized dust (8%) and oxidised shaving (8%). The waste materials have been characterised by means of particle-size and chemical analyses, and some reuse/recycle … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,049 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Modular Architecture for Anaphora ResolutionAllaoua RefoufiAnaphora resolution attempts to determine the correct antecedent of an anaphor (the term pointing back). In what follows, we propose an algorithm for the resolution of anaphoric pronouns that relies on lexical and syntactic knowledge incorporated in a modular approach based on constraints and preferences. Our objective was to find the correct antecedent to the following subject pronouns (il, ils, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,072 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAge Difference in Immunophenotype of Acute LeukemiaKazunori Nakase, Mary Sartor, Kenneth BradstockWe examined the immunophenotype of 880 cases with acute leukemia and analyzed their age difference in relation to the morphological subtype and the karyotype. We divided the patients into 3 age groups: child (0-15 years), adult (16-59 years) and elderly (60 years and older) group. The diagnoses based on the French-American-British (FAB) criteria and the immunophenotype as follows: 453 patients … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,941 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk of Second Non Breast Malignancies (SNBM) in Relation to Brca1 And Brca2 Mutation Status Following Breast-Conserving Surgery and RadiotherapyYoulia M. Kirova, Alain Fourquet, Alexia Savignoni, Brigitte Sigal-ZafraniWomen from hereditary breast cancer families with BRCA1/2 germline mutation are at increased risk for contralateral breast cancer (BC) and for ovarian cancer (OC). It is less clear whether mutation status influences the rate of SNBM other than OC. In addition, little is known on the risk of OC in individuals from hereditary BC families without identified BRCA mutation. Our … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,228 accessesView PDF Cite
