Global positioning system scintillation and total electron content (TEC) data have been collected by ten specialized GPS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitors (GISTMs) of the Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN). The phase scintillation index σ8 is obtained from the phase of the L1 signal sampled at 50 Hz. Maps of phase scintillation occurrence as a function of the altitude-adj...

Over the past four decades, the syntactic and prosodic properties reflecting the information packaging of a particular sentence have attracted considerable attention in the field. Most linguists working in the generative framework will agree that there are language-specific phenomena concerning information structuring, such as focus, topic and intonation, and that they can only be adequately de...

The emergence of Netspeak as a variety languages cannot be separated from the development Internet and social media. characteristic its medium media nature communication makes have distinctive unique features that differentiate it more traditional form communication, such topographic grammatical irregularities, well lexical creativity. This study attempts to discover use written on 9GAG’s Insta...

This paper extends the connection between computers and theatre, first explored by Brenda Laurel in her research into human-computer interface. Applying a similar approach to the study of telepresence can present new perspectives and yield an interesting insight into the causes, effects and structure of telepresence. Working within a phenomenological tradition, the author establishes some point...

One of the important clinical features that differentiates benign melanocytic nevi from malignant melanomas is the irregularity of the lesion border. There are two types of border irregularities: texture irregularities, the small variations along the border, and structure irregularities, the global indentations and protrusions. Texture irregularities are subject to noise, whereas structure irre...

The use of applications for automated inspection of semiproducts is increasing in various industries, including the automotive industry. This paper presents the development of an application for automated visual detection of irregularities on commutators that are parts of vehicle’s fuel pumps. Each type of irregularity is detected on a partition of the commutator image. The initial results show...

Raster and halftone images are typically generated using small image elements, dots, which are organized and generated into a periodic structure to reproduce desired imaging effect. In this study, a periodic image element structure, referred to as a regular dot pattern, is defined, and based on the definition, two methods are introduced to detect irregularities in regular dot patterns. An examp...
