Although the segmental properties of Kyungsang Korean have been known to be distinct from those of standard Seoul Korean, the increased influence of Seoul Korean on the regional variety casts doubt on the homogeneity of the dialect. The current study investigated whether the acoustic properties of the vowels and fricatives in Kyungsang Korean are retained by both younger and older generations t...

Positive- and negative-reinforcement-based procedures typically have targeted acceptance for children with severe food refusal; however, these procedures do not always result in successful swallowing. Once acceptance is achieved, some children expel the food repeatedly or pack (hold or pocket) it in their mouths for extended periods of time. This study evaluated the effects of using food redist...

The study of the Greek language is argued here to be of relevance to Slavic studies and Slavic linguistics in several ways. After a brief presentation of some of the more important connections between Greek and the Slavic linguistic world, the focus is turned to one in particular that has not commanded the attention it might, namely the fact that Greek has historically been spoken and continues...

Wave theory originated in quantum physics as an elegant way to describe the properties and movement of light, sound, atoms and, eventually, all forms of energy. The underlying thesis migrated to the world of finance in postulations such as the Elliott Wave Theory, which holds that there are repeated, predictable patterns in market pricing. Most recently, social scientists have been applying wav...

Low-grade waste heat conversion to electricity has drawn much attention toward reduction of production cost (Matsuura, Rowe et al. 1992, Rowe 1995, Ebrahimi, Jones et al. 2014). Organic Rankine cycle has been recently proved as a feasible solution with about 7% thermal efficiency and initial cost of about $2/watt for a high temperature of 116 °C and low temperature of 25 °C (Imran, Park et al. ...

This paper presents a novel optimization technique for energy management studies of an isolated microgrid. The system is supplied by various Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), Diesel Generator (DG), a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG), Photovoltaic (PV) arrays and supported by fuel cell/electrolyzer Hydrogen storage system for short term storage. Multi-objective optimization is used through non-do...

‎we present an application of the dual gabor frames to image‎ ‎processing‎. ‎our algorithm is based on finding some dual gabor‎ ‎frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the‎ ‎underlying hilbert space‎. ‎the advantages of these duals‎ ‎constructed by a polynomial of gabor frame generators are compared‎ ‎with their canonical dual‎.
