Continuous Evaluation of Time Varying Speech Quality (CETVSQ) is a method of subjective assessment of transmitted speech quality for long speech sequences containing quality fluctuations in time. This method is modeled for continuous evaluation of long speech sequences based on two subjective tasks. First task is to assess the speech quality during the listening and second task is to assess the overall speech quality after listening to the speech sequences. The development of CETVSQ was motivated by fact that speech quality degradations are often not constant and varies in time. In modern IP...

This book provides comprehensive knowledge about thyroid gland and highlights the recent trends in the management of thyroid dysfunctions.
Thyroid disorders are amongst the most prevalent of medical conditions possibly after diabetes.
