A Contribution to Jerk Detection

On some variations related to jerk motions

The purpose of this paper is to study some jerk motions considering some dynamic cases, other than the classical ones and extending the setting. We consider a special set of variations, finding a set of jerk motions, generalizing some cases known only in some particular forms till now. Finally we give a simple mechanical interpretation of these ideas. The subject is topical because we model a l...

Contribution of Women Scientists to Pharmacology: A Historical Perspective

The article highlights the contributions of a few prominent women scientists to the science of pharmacology. These women,some of whom were from other scientific fields, contributed significantly to our understanding of pharmacology. This was achieved in an era in which pharmacology was a more or less male dominated field. Even though it is easier for women to enter scientific fields nowadays, t...

Jerk Minimization for Acoustic-To-Articulatory Inversion

The effortless speech production in humans requires coordinated movements of the articulators such as lips, tongue, jaw, velum, etc. Therefore, measured trajectories obtained are smooth and slowly-varying. However, the trajectories estimated from acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) are found to be jagged. Thus, energy minimization is used as smoothness constraint for improving performance ...
