ABSTRACT Background Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is one of the most treatable forms of paediatric cancer; however, there is a substantial burden of treatment‐related toxicities (TRTs). In addition, the long‐term changes in children's health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) due to toxic treatments are not well understood.

ABSTRACT Background Germ cell tumors (GCTs) often arise in the ovaries and testes (extracranial) but can also develop in the brain (intracranial). We examined the relationship of individual, family, and community‐level socioeconomic status (SES) with stage of disease at diagnosis in a cohort of pediatric patients with GCT from Children's Oncology Group

Very Low Rate Scalable Speech Coding through Classified Embedded Matrix Quantization
This paper proposes a scalable speech coding scheme using the embedded matrix quantization of the LSFs in the LPC model. For an efficient quantization of the spectral parameters, two types of codebooks of different sizes are designed and used to encode ...

Research on the effectiveness of noise reduction when encoding a lossless speech signal
In the meantime, speech coding is one of the methods to represent the digital speech signal as in possible fewer bits value and to maintain the quality and its clearness.

Speech coding with multilayer networks
A set of Multi-Layered Networks (MLN) for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is proposed. Such a set allows to integrate information extracted with variable resolution in the lime and in the frequency domain and to keep the number of links between nodes of the networks small in order to allow significant generalization during learning with a reasonable

Speech is the predominant means of communication between human beings and since the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, speech services have remained to be the core service in almost all telecommunication systems. Original analog methods of telephony had the disadvantage of speech signal getting corrupted by noise, cross-talk ...

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...

Sparse coding models of natural images and sounds have been able to predict several response properties of neurons in the visual and auditory systems. While the success of these models suggests that the structure they capture is universal across domains ...
