چکیده
Two experiments examine the perceptual consequences of systematic differences between Bulgarian and German in the production of phrasal prominence. In experiment one, five versions of a German sentence differing in focus, and therefore in the degree of prominence of two critical words implicated in the focus conditions, were presented in pairs to Bulgarian and German subjects who judged the degree to which the prominence of the critical words differed. In a second experiment, the questions used to elicit the different focus realizations of the sentence were paired with each of the focus versions. Subjects judged how well the answer matched the question. In the meta-linguistic first task, evidence was found to support the hypothesis that the greater use of signal intensity in Bulgarian prominence production is paralleled by greater sensitivity to intensity differences in perception. In the functional second task, there was no indication that the greater sensitivity to signal intensity has any communicational consequences.

Signal detection Using Rational Function Curve Fitting
In this manuscript, we proposed a new scheme in communication signal detection which is respect to the curve shape of received signal and based on the extraction of curve fitting (CF) features. This feature extraction technique is proposed for signal data classification in receiver. The proposed scheme is based on curve fitting and approximation of rational fraction coefficients. For each symbo...
متن کاملOptimum parameters of nonlinear integrator using design of experiments based on Taguchi method
For many physical systems like vehicles, acceleration can be easily measured for the respective states. However, the outputs are usually affected by stochastic noise disturbance. The mentioned systems are often sensitive to noise and structural uncertainties. Furthermore, it is very difficult to estimate the multiple integrals of the signal, acceleration to velocity and velocity to position. In...
متن کاملNeural-Smith Predictor Method for Improvement of Networked Control Systems
Networked control systems (NCSs) are distributed control systems in which the nodes, including controllers, sensors, actuators, and plants are connected by a digital communication network such as the Internet. One of the most critical challenges in networked control systems is the stochastic time delay of arriving data packets in the communication network among the nodes. Using the Smith predic...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO
The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
متن کاملSampling Rate Conversion in the Discrete Linear Canonical Transform Domain
Sampling rate conversion (SRC) is one of important issues in modern sampling theory. It can be realized by up-sampling, filtering, and down-sampling operations, which need large complexity. Although some efficient algorithms have been presented to do the sampling rate conversion, they all need to compute the N-point original signal to obtain the up-sampling or the down-sampling signal in the tim...
