Context dependent modelling is a well-known technique used to improve recognition rate in continuous speech recognition. However, it can also dramatically increase the overall system parameter count which usually leads to a grave problem known as sparse training data condition. Different techniques such as model parameter tying and MAP estimation are used to overcome this problem. In this paper, a new approach, namely weighted training, has been introduced which benefits from both MAP estimation and parameter tying strengths and also outperforms the widely used parameter tying approach. The trip hone models are used in this implementation.

Purpose: The purpose of this applied research is to study the effectiveness of gamification on corporate training.  Methodology: A gamified course was designed and implemented to train the location of Fire Hosing Cabinet for 24 employees of a firefighting maintenance company in Iran Mall shopping Center in Tehran. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental research plan (post-test only control group design) the participants of the study were randomly assigned to treatment (12) and control (12) groups and trained for a week.  Conclusion: The descriptive and interpretive result of the posttest analyses indicated the effectiveness of gamification of the training performed for the employees of the firefighting maintenance company in Iran Mall shopping Center in Tehran. Moreover, the descriptive result of Gamification Acceptance Questionnaire answered by the members of the experimental group after gamified training indicated that all the participants in the experimental group were satisfied with the gamified training course.

Introduction: Achieving the optimal performance of improved attention is among the most important goals of students. This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of neurofeedback training on the improvement of Continuous Attention.Method: The method was quasi- experimental and had pre-post tests as well as control and experimental groups.The sample consisted of 30 student athletes in Tabriz. The 15 participants of the experimental and control groups were selected randomly. The experimental group took Neurofeedback training for 20 sessions, 3 sessions per week.Results: Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. The results showed that the difference in mean score of the experimantal and control groups was significant (P<0.01). Therefore, the Neurofeedback training may improve continuous attention in students.Conclusion: Due to the positive effects of this method on participants' attention, it can be concluded that the training can be an effective way to achieve optimal performance.

Background: Moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) has been reported as an effective exercise on bone metabolism. However, very few studies have focused on high-intensity interval training (HIIT). The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of HIIT and MICT training on bone density in middle-aged rats. Methods: 30 male Wistar rats (16 weeks old) were randomly divided into three groups: control, MICT and HIIT. Both test groups completed 8 weeks (5 sessions per week) of treadmill training in which the HIIT group performed 10 sessions of running at a speed of 35-47 m/min with a 2-minute active recovery, and the HIIT group ran continuously for 10-45 minutes at a speed of 15-20 meters per minute. The body composition and bone mineral density in the whole body were evaluated through Dual Xray absorptiometry (DXA) at the beginning and after the intervention. The data was analyzed using SPSS software and one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc tests. Results: After 8 weeks of intervention, BMD of the whole body and femur increased significantly in both groups (p0≥, 0. 05), although the observed change was greater in the HIIT group (p≥, 0. 05). In addition, in the case of BMD of the lumbar vertebra, no significant difference was observed between all three groups after the intervention (p≤, 0. 05). Conclusion: These findings show that a period of HIIT and MICT training can improve bone density in middle-aged rats and compared to MICT, HIIT had more benefits on bone density.
