Nat.Lab. Unclassified Report 2002/840
No full textThis report describes the current state of the "ASC: speech coding" project that has as objective to develop a low bit rate (8-12 kbit/s), narrowband (8kHz sample frequency) sinusoidal audio and speech coder. The fundamental processing blocks of the implemented prototype are explained. Informal listening were conducted comparing a 14.5 kbit/s version of our coder with the 12.2 kbit/s GSM-EFR coder for both music and speech signals. Conclusions: A narrowband audio and speech coder has been developed that operates at a bit rate of 14.5 kbit/s. When comparing it to the 12.2 kbit/s GSM-EFR coder, it is found that our coder performs significantly better for music signals, while for speech it performs at most equally well. Because the bit rate achieved so far amounts to about 14.5 kbit/s, the low bit rate objective (8-12kbit/s) has not yet been reached. It is expected however, that improving the tracking of the coder may lead to the desired bit rate while the sound quality remains at least equal. Future work should also incorporate an amelioration of the sound quality for speech signals. Philips Electronics Nederland B.V. 2003 iv Contents 1
Effect of multiple freeze–thaw cycles on the detection of anti-SARS- CoV- 2 IgG antibodies
No full textSeveral studies have investigated the effect of repeated freeze-thaw (F/T) cycles on RNA detection for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, no data are available regarding the effect of repeated F/T cycles on SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection in serum. We investigated the effect of multiple F/T cycles on anti SARS-CoV-2 IgG detection using an ELISA test targeting the nucleocapsid antibodies. Ten positive and 1 negative SARS-CoV-2 IgG sera from 11 participants, in replicates of 5, were subjected to a total of 16 F/T cycles and stored at 4 °C until tested by ELISA. Statistical analysis was performed to test for F/T cycle effect. None of the 10 positive sera became negative after 16 F/T cycles. There was no significant difference in the OD average reading between the first and last F/T cycles, except for one serum with a minimal decline in the OD. The random effect linear regression of log (OD) on the number of cycles showed no significant trend, with a slope consistent with zero (B=−0.0001; 95% CI −0.0008; 0.0006; P-value= 0.781). These results suggest that multiple F/T cycles had no effect on the ability of the ELISA assay to detect SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodiesThis work was made possible by grant no.

High aspect ratio hard x-ray (> 100 keV) imager to measure hot electron preheat for indirectly driven capsule implosions on the National Ignition Facility
No full textWe have fielded a multi-pinhole, hard x-ray (> 100 keV) imager to measure the spatially-resolved bremsstrahlung emission from energetic electrons slowing in a plastic ablator shell during indirectly driven implosions at the National Ignition Facility. These electrons are generated in laser plasma interactions, and are a source of preheat to the deuterium-tritium fuel that could limit the compressibility required for ignition and burn. Our hard x-ray imaging measurements allow to set an upper limit to the DT fuel preheat, which we find is acceptable in current capsule implosions on the NIF

No full textThe future of resource-based theory: revitalization or decline?
No full textSince the 1991 publication of the first Journal of Management special issue devoted to resource-based inquiry, resource-based theory (RBT) has evolved from a nascent, upstart perspective to one of the most prominent and powerful theories for understanding organizations. Indeed, 20 years after that landmark issue, RBT appears to have reached maturity as a theory. One implication of this maturity is that RBT lies at a critical juncture, one that will be followed either by revitalization of the theory or by its decline. In this introductory article, the authors provide a brief overview of the contributions provided by the commentaries and articles contained in this third Journal of Management special issue on RBT. These contributions center on five themes: interlinkages with other perspectives, processes of resource acquisition and development, the micro-foundations of RBT, RBT and sustainability, and method and measurement issues. Their view is that the commentaries and articles collectively offer a foundation for extending RBT in meaningful new directions and steering clear of decline. They also offer their thoughts about some key opportunities within each of the themes for further revitalizing research involving the RBT
