Source localization based on time delay estimation in complex environment by Da-wei ZHANG, Chang-chun BAO, Bing-yin XIA

“…In order to improve the performance of source localization in noisy and reverberant environments,a novel time delay estimation (TDE) method was proposed.This method is called acoustical transfer function ratio based on statistical model (ATFR-SM).In the proposed algorithm,the noise reduction method based on the statistical model was adopted to reduce the effect of noise on acoustical transfer Function (ATF).In the ATF method,the power spectral density (PSD) was smoothed and whitened to reduce the effect of reverberations.voice activity detection (VAD) was used to distinguish the speech period from the noise period,and the TDE was performed in the speech period to improve the estimation accuracy.Moreover,the proposed TDE method and the linear closed-form method for source localization were combined to constitute a source localization system.The results of performance evaluation show that,in both the noisy and reverberant conditions,the lower percentage of abnormal points (PAP) and lower root mean square error (RMSE) can be achieved by the proposed TDE method than those of the reference methods.Meanwhile,the source localization has higher accuracy than the reference methods.…”

I disturbi del neurosviluppo: verso un modello clinico integrato by Flavia Morfini

“…The purpose of the research work of the writer is the gradual development of an integrated clinical model for the treatment of high-functioning autism. The analysis for the constitution of this model has started from the identification of a specific logic with which to integrate three models: cognitive behavioral, Gestalt and model deriving from the applied analysis of behavior (ABA).  …”

Identification of a tissue-selective heat shock response regulatory network. by Eric Guisbert, Daniel M Czyz, Klaus Richter, Patrick D McMullen, Richard I Morimoto

“…To identify the regulatory pathways that control the HSR in Caenorhabditis elegans, we performed a genome-wide RNAi screen and identified 59 genes corresponding to 7 positive activators required for the HSR and 52 negative regulators whose knockdown leads to constitutive activation of the HSR. These modifiers function in specific steps of gene expression, protein synthesis, protein folding, trafficking, and protein clearance, and comprise the metazoan heat shock regulatory network (HSN). …”

Gulag Poetry as Literary Testimony: Poetical and Epistemic Framework by Claudia Pieralli

“…Following this assumption, I will outline the literary means and techniques by which the testimonial function is carried out. Within this theoretical framework, the corpus of poetical texts by Soviet political prisoners constitutes a specific whole in the history of the 20th century Russian literature and should be considered as such in the future studies of the subject.…”
