3D WHOLE-PROMINENCE FINE STRUCTURE MODELING

The Lyα and Lyβ Profiles in Solar Prominences and Prominence Fine Structure

Lyα and Lyβ line profiles in a solar prominence were observed with high spatial and spectral resolution with SOHO/SUMER. Within a 60 arcsec scan, we measure a very large variety of profiles: not only reversed and non-reversed profiles but also red-peaked and blue-peaked ones in both lines. Such a spatial variability is probably related to both the fine structure in prominences and the different...

Predicting focus through prominence structure

Focus is central to our control of information flow in dialogue. Spoken language understanding systems therefore need to be able to detect focus automatically. It is well known that prominence is a key marker of focus in English, however, the relationship is not straight-forward. We present focus prediction models built using the NXT Switchboard corpus. We claim that a focus is more likely if a...

Toward a Continuous Modeling of French Prosodic Structure: Using Acoustic Features to Predict Prominence Location and Prominence Degree

The aim of this paper is to present a tool developed in order to generate French rhythmical structure semi-automatically, without taking grammatical cues into account. On the basis of a phonemic alignment, the software first locates prominent syllables by considering basic acoustic features such as F0, duration and silent pause. It then assigns a degree of prominence to each syllable identified...

Fine grain thermal modeling and experimental validation of 3D-ICs

3D die stacking is a promising technique to allow miniaturization and performance enhancement of electronic systems. Key technologies for realizing 3D interconnect schemes are the realization of vertical connections, either through the Si die or through the multilayer interconnections. The complexity of these structures combined with reduced thermal spreading in the thinned dies complicate the ...
