It has been well documented that Humpack whales produce songs with a specific structure [Payne]. The NIPS4B challenge provides 26 minutes of a remarkable Humpback whale song recording produced at few meters distance from the whale in La Reunion - Indian Ocean, by "Darewin" research group in 2013 at a frequency sampling of 44.1kHz, 32 bits, mono, wav format (Fig 1). Usually, the Mel Filter Cepstrum Coefficients are used as parameters to describe these songs [Pace and al.] We propose here another efficient representation, the scalogram, and we demonstrate that the sea noise is efficiently removed, even in the case of lower SNR recordings, allowing robust song representations.

One of the main and basic pillars of health system promotion is the equitable distribution of health facilities in order to ensure fair access of people in the community to the health services.

Data related to indicators in 3 categories of institutional, human resources and rural health and their indicators were collected using statistical yearbook. Data analysis was done using SPSS software and scalogram analysis model. There is large gap between health structural indicators in cities of Golestan Province.
