Audio codecs generate notable artifacts when operating at low bitrates, which degrade the quality of the coded audio significantly.There have been several approaches to enhance the quality of decoded signals with and without side information.While pre- or post-processing approaches without side information can be applied directly to existing system
Benchmark study for evaluating the quality of reference genomes and gene annotations in 114 species
IntroductionFor reference genomes and gene annotations are flosser key materials that can determine the limits of the molecular biology research of a species; however, systematic research on their quality assessment remains insufficient.MethodsWe collected reference assemblies, gene annotations, and 3,420 RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data from 114 spec
Unlimited non-causal correlations and their relation to non-locality
Non-causal correlations certify the lack of a definite causal order among localized space-time regions.In stark contrast to scenarios where a single region influences its own causal past, some processes that distribute non-causal correlations satisfy a series of natural desiderata: logical consistency, Inline - Pucks linear and reversible dynamics,
Health promotion at local level: a case study of content, organization and development in four Swedish municipalities
Abstract Background Several health determinants are related to local conditions and prerequisites at community level.For this reason, strengthening community action has been one of five strategies implemented in health promotion since the end of the 1980s.Such action includes setting priorities, making decisions, planning strategies, and implementi
