The usefulness of this method in automatic whispered speech recognition is also discussed in a MLLR adaptation framework.
For example, the positive definiteness of an even-degree homogeneous polynomial form (f(x)) plays an important role in the stability study of nonlinear autonomous systems via Lyapunov's direct method in automatic control [19].
Glucose was analyzed according to the glucose oxidase method in automatic analyzers (coefficient of variance [CV], 1%) (Roche-Hitachi Modular P and D Autoanalyzer; Roche Laboratory Systems, Mannheim, Germany), and plasma insulin was analyzed by radioimmunoassay (CV, 2.6%) with automatic microparticle analyzers (Axsym; Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL).
The immunostaining process was performed following routine methods in an automatic immunostainer (Dako Autostainer Plus).
All fixed testes were embedded in paraffin wax using standard methods in an automatic processor (Leica Microsystems, Milton Keynes, UK) and sections of 5 µm thickness were prepared.
Total cholesterol, triglycerides, and HDL-cholesterol [after precipitation of apolipoprotein (apo) B containing lipoproteins] were determined by standard enzymatic methods in an automatic analyzer DDPPII Hitachi (Roche, Basle, Switzerland), using specific reagents (Boehringer-Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany).
Additionally, there is a built-in automatic grouping method by hierarchical clustering.
The developed unit was coupled to a multicommutated flow system which, given the complexity of samples, was designed to allow the implementation of the standard additions method in an automatic way, using only one standard solution.
The proposed feature-based deformable registration method in the automatic contour propagation improves the delineation efficiency significantly.
