Branched-chain amino acids and muscle protein synthesis in humans: myth or reality?
The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are leucine, valine and isoleucine. A multi-million dollar industry of nutritional supplements has grown around the concept that dietary supplements of BCAAs alone produce an anabolic response in humans driven by a ...

Localization of Simultaneous Moving Sound Sources for Mobile Robot Using a Frequency-Domain Steered Beamformer Approach [PDF]
Mobile robots in real-life settings would benefit from being able to localize sound sources. Such a capability can nicely complement vision to help localize a person or an interesting event in the environment, and also to provide enhanced processing for other capabilities such as speech recognition.

Daala: A Perceptually-Driven Still Picture Codec [PDF]
Daala is a new royalty-free video codec based on perceptually-driven coding techniques. We explore using its keyframe format for still picture coding and show how it has improved over the past year. We believe the technology used in Daala could be the basis of an excellent, royalty-free image format.

High-Quality, Low-Delay Music Coding in the Opus Codec [PDF]
The IETF recently standardized the Opus codec as RFC6716. Opus targets a wide range of real-time Internet applications by combining a linear prediction coder with a transform coder. We describe the transform coder, with particular attention to the psychoacoustic knowledge built into the format.

A Full-Bandwidth Audio Codec With Low Complexity And Very Low Delay [PDF]
We propose an audio codec that addresses the low-delay requirements of some applications such as network music performance. The codec is based on the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) with very short frames and uses gain-shape quantization to preserve the spectral envelope.

This review article gives a survey of principal pathways that lead to the biosynthesis of the proteinogenic amino acids of the alanine-valine-leucine group starting with pyruvic acid from the glycolytic pathway and serine-cysteine-glycine group starting ...

The AV1 Constrained Directional Enhancement Filter (CDEF) [PDF]
This paper presents the constrained directional enhancement filter designed for the AV1 royalty-free video codec. The in-loop filter is based on a non-linear low-pass filter and is designed for vectorization efficiency. It takes into account the direction of edges and patterns being filtered.

Does canine inflammatory bowel disease influence gut microbial profile and host metabolism? [PDF]
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a diverse group of chronic gastrointestinal diseases, and gut microbial dysbiosis has been proposed as a modulating factor in its pathogenesis.
