The present study introduces a recording technique to maintain all dynamic information of even full-blown emotional speech, and investigates the effect of emotion class, speaker, and sentence type on the amplitude of speech. The results show that the factors emotion class and speaker are highly significant and that the former explains half of the variance while the latter explains only one nint...

The assumption that the smile is an evolved facial display suggests that there may be universal features of smiling in addition to the basic facial configuration. We show that smiles include not only a stable configuration of features, but also temporally consistent movement patterns. In spontaneous smiles from two social contexts, duration of lip corner movement during the onset phase was inde...

The magnetic method is one of the very few nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques that provide possibility to conduct area tests reinforced concrete (RC) structures in a fast, cheap, and straightforward way. This paper aims present new approach simultaneous identification rebars’ diameter, alloy class, thickness cover tested with this method. Since rebars from different manufacturers may have ...

Prestack migration is necessary before AVO analysis. Most of the present migration algorithms not only try to focus the reflections on the subsurface but also strive to preserve the amplitude for subsequent amplitude studies. A migration/inversion method developed by Lumley (1993) estimates the angle dependent reflectivity at each subsurface point by using least-squares Kirchhoff migration foll...
