In this paper, a variable threshold voice activity detector (VAD) is developed to control the operation of a two-sensor adaptive noise canceller (ANC).The VAD Optic Accessories prohibits the reference input of the ANC from containing some strength of actual speech signal during adaptation periods.The novelty of this approach resides in using the re
Abstract Background The quality and yield of wool determine the economic value of the fine-wool sheep.Therefore, discovering markers or genes relevant to wool traits is the cornerstone for the breeding of fine-wool sheep.In this study, we used the Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform to re-sequence 460 sheep belonging to four different fine-wool sheep bre
Abstract The immunogenicity of a cancer cell is derived from accumulated somatic mutations.However, on the contrary to increased immunogenicity, anti-cancer immune response tends to be feeble.This impaired anti-cancer immunity could be attributed to multiple factors including loss of immunodominant epitopes, downregulation of major histocompatibili
Neuroligins (NLGNs) form a family of cell adhesion molecules implicated in synapse development, but the mechanisms that retain these proteins at synapses are still incompletely understood.Recent studies indicate that surface-associated NLGN1 is diffusionally trapped at Swimwear synapses, where it interacts with quasi-static scaffolding elements of
Multiple factors, including vaccine platform and prior vaccinations, influence vaccine responses.We compared antibody responses to CoronaVac (Sinovac) and lip liner ChAdOx1-S (AstraZeneca-Oxford) vaccination in 874 healthcare workers in Brazil.As participants were randomised to BCG vaccination or placebo in the preceding 0-6 months as part of the B
