Music Identification System Using MPEG-7 Audio Signature Descriptors by Shingchern D. You, Wei-Hwa Chen, Woei-Kae Chen

“…To deal with the problem that a piece of query audio may not be inside the system’s database, we suggest two different methods to find the decision threshold. Simulation results show that the proposed method II can achieve an accuracy of 99.4% for query inputs both inside and outside the database. …”

Comparative analysis of audiometric and impedancemetric findings in workers exposed to the effects of various duration industrial noise by Živić Ljubica, Ignjatović Snežana, Terzić Negra, Jakovljević Vladimir Lj., Živić Danijela, Đonović Nela

“…Methods. The study included a homogenous group of 173 industrial workers involved in the same department of a huge workshop named 'Kovačica' exposed to noise level above a threshold intensity, and divided into three groups: the group I of 116 workers (232 ears) exposed to noise for 8 h in the workshop 'Kovačica', the group II of 41 workers (82 ears) exposed to noise only half of the working time, and the group III of 16 workers (32 ears) exposed to the same conditions and having the normal hearing sense. …”

Evidence from NHANES 2011–2014: a correlation between the weight-adjusted-waist index and cognitive abilities in the United States by Chan Zhao, Xintian Xu, Chunyan Hao

“…Furthermore, we performed a smoothenable curve fitting between WWI and cognitive function scores, resulting in a nonlinear connection and a threshold saturation effect. We also executed subgroup analyses and interaction tests based on gender, race, educational background, marital status, diabetes, body mass index, alcohol consumption, hypertension, smoking habits, stroke, depression, and sleep quality to assess whether the relationship between WWI and cognitive function was affected by heterogeneity across different population segments. …”

Estimating the Economically Justifiable Price of Limited-Duration Treatment with Donanemab for Early Symptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease in the United States by Malaz Boustani, Erin G. Doty, Louis P. Garrison Jr, Lee J. Smolen, Timothy M. Klein, Daniel R. Murphy, Andrew W. Spargo, Mark Belger, Joseph A. Johnston

“…Abstract Introduction The goal of this economic model is to estimate an economically justifiable price (EJP) for using donanemab for the treatment of early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the United States based on clinical data from the phase 3 TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 trial (NCT04437511). Methods We adapted an AD Markov state-transition model developed by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review to estimate the EJP for donanemab at different willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds from the health care system perspective and the societal perspective as co-base cases. …”

Onset for Active Swimming of Microorganisms to Shape Their Transport in Turbulent Open Channel Flows by Zi Wu, Li Zeng, Guangmiao Li, Zheng Gong, Jie Zhan, Weiquan Jiang, Mengzhen Xu, Xudong Fu

“…The theoretical predictions are validated by numerical simulations employing Direct Numerical Simulation and particle tracking methods. Applying the theory to two types of microorganisms transported under different flow conditions suggests that there are typical scenarios where the active swimming is negligible, and the swimmers can be treated as passive particles.…”
