This book constitutes the proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Speech and Computer, SPECOM 2019, held in Istanbul, Turkey, in August 2019. The 57 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 86 submissions. The papers present current research in the area of computer speech processing including audio signal processing, automatic speech recognition, speaker recognition, computational paralinguistics, speech synthesis, sign language and multimodal processing, and speech and language resources.
Untuk apa mengumpulkan dan menulis biografi? apakah tidak menjadi bahan untuk menyombongkan diri dan ria? Secara jujur, ada saja kumungkinan penulisan biografi dihinggapi penyakit tersebut. Dan dengan sepenuhnya menyadari bahaya tersebut, saya mohon perlindungan Allah dan tegur sapa dari teman sejawat, sehingga penulisan biografi ini terhindar dari kemungkinan sombong dan ria. Apakah layak atau boleh menuliskan riwayat hidup seseorang yang masih hidup? kalau seorang penulis biografi ingin menemukan dan merumuskan watak, gaya dan kepribadian seseorang tokoh, apakah tidak mungkin watak dan kepribadian seseorang itu berubah, sesuai dengan perkembang- an usia dan tarikan lingkungannya? Sehingga sepatutnya menulis biografi seseorang itu setelah seseorang itu wafat atau meninggal dunia? Secara teoritik, adalah benar bahwa penulisan biografi seseorang ketika dia masih hidup sangat besar (kemungkinan) ketidak jujurannya, sangat besar biasnya, karena perubahan karakter seseorang adalah sesuatu yang sangat niscaya. Oleh karenanya, sangat ideal menulis biografi seseorang setelah dia wafat.
Cumulative global transformations, occurring daily, affect important aspects of our life. Characteristic cultural and natural heritage, including sites of priceless value, is under constant threat. There are growing pressures, of both natural and human origin, such as wars, con icts, natural or technological disasters and the effects of global climate change. These provoke the continuous degradation of many sites included in the World Heritage List. In consequence, immediate strategic measures must be taken. Natural heritage is our legacy from the past, that we inherited from our ancestors and pass on to future generations. It is vital to realize its value and protect it by all possible mean...
Acrylamide in Food, Second Edition, is fully updated with four new chapters that incorporate current literature on acrylamide, including analysis, formation mechanisms, levels in foods, reduction strategies, and new regulations, such as the one made by the European Union in 2017 regarding the presence of acrylamide in processed foods. The book comprises of four parts: part one introduces acrylamide and the food chain in the context of harm and health. Part two focusses on acrylamide in various types of foods, such as bakery products, fried potato products, coffee, battered products, water, table olives, etc. Part three highlights its interaction mechanisms and health effects. Part four discu...
Beginning with a general overview of nanocomposites, Bionanocomposites: Integrating Biological Processes for Bio-inspired Nanotechnologies details the systems available in nature (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids) that can be integrated within suitable inorganic matrices for specific applications. Describing the relationship between architecture, hierarchy and function, this book aims at pointing out how bio-systems can be key components of nanocomposites. The text then reviews the design principles, structures, functions and applications of bionanocomposites. It also includes a section presenting related technical methods to help readers identify and understand the most widely used analytical tools such as mass spectrometry, calorimetry, and impedance spectroscopy, among others.
Obesity is currently regarded as one of the major health challenges of the developed world. Excess body weight is an important risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders and even psychiatric problems and is estimated to cause nearly 3 million deaths per year worldwide. Obesity is not necessarily associated with comorbidities: there are indeed metabolically healthy obese individuals. Thus, we need to consider individuals presenting simple with obesity separately from those at risk of developing or who have already developed complex clinical states potentially leading to disability. Comorbidities can tip the balance of inde...
This book discusses the organ-specific systemic manifestations of COVID-19. The initial chapters of the book review the origin and evolution of the coronaviruses, followed by pathogenesis and immune response during COVID-19 infection. The book also provides insight into the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in the onset of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogenesis. It summarizes the neurological aspects of SARS-CoV2, including transmission pathways, mechanisms of invasion into the nervous system, and mechanisms of neurological disease. It also delineates the association of severe disease with high blood plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory markers in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Lastly, it discusses the perturbation of gut microbiota by SARS-CoV-2 and uncovers the potential risk of virus infection on reproductive health.
