This paper presents an error prevention approach in the development of a Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training System (CAPT System) for teaching American English pronunciation to adult Mexican Spanish speakers developed for the case of vowels. Prior knowledge of the learner’s typical articulatory and auditory perception errors enhances the effectiveness of training. It enables to organize th...

As in most medium to large institutions, the information system configuration at the Naval Postgraduate School was not specifically architected as it is currently configured, but rather has evolved over the years to meet growing and specialized functional needs. As a result there are islands of automation throughout the School in the form of hundreds of microcomputers and tens of LAN's in addit...

Climate simulations performed with general circulation models (GCMs) are widely viewed as the principal scientific basis for developing policies to address potential future global change scenarios (e.g. global warming, ozone depletion, changes in land use, etc.). Hence, there is a compelling need to systematically improve the performance of GCMs in simulating the present climate, and thereby to...

Sir,?I read with interest the communication of Capt. Mukherji on ' The incidence of coccidiosis in the Arakans ' in 3'our December 1947 issue.

In this paper we report on a study on pronunciation errors by Spanish learners of Dutch, which was aimed at obtaining information to develop a dedicated Computer Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) program for this fixed language pair (Spanish L1, Dutch L2). The results of our study indicate, that, first, vowel errors are more frequent and variable than consonant mispronunciations. Second, S...

was regarded as being one of inoperable carcinoma of the cervix. Her condition was so serious that this diagnosis could not be verified and she died in a few days. She was a parous woman with no striking previous history. The chart showed a subnormal temperature throughout the period during which she was in hospital. No report regarding the blood picture of the patient is available. Fortunately...
