Given its shape, this system is often called the Southern Min Tone Circle (though the Southern Min Tone Lollipop would be a more accurate name, given the "stick" where two tones neutralize into one).

Quaternionic Product of Circles and Cycles and Octonionic Product for Pairs of Circles

This paper concerns with a product of circles induced by the quaternionic product considered in a projective manner. Several properties of this composition law are derived and on this way we arrive at some special numbers as roots or powers of unit. We extend this product to cycles as oriented circles and to pairs of circles by using the algebra of octonions. Three applications of the given pro...

Statistical learning in children with specific language impairment.

PURPOSE In this study, the authors examined (a) whether children with specific language impairment (SLI) can implicitly compute the probabilities of adjacent sound sequences, (b) if this ability is related to degree of exposure, (c) if it is domain specific or domain general and, (d) if it is related to vocabulary. METHOD Children with SLI and normal language controls (ages 6;5-14;4 [years;mo...

Elastic Behavior of Functionally Graded Two Tangled Circles Chamber

This paper presents the numerical elastic solution for a real problem, functionally graded chamber of hydraulic gear pumps under internal pressure. Because of the similarity and complexity for the considering geometry, a bipolar cylindrical coordinate system is used to extract the governing equations. The material properties are considered to vary along the two tangled circles with a power-law ...
