The aim of this study was to find out the types language styles and identify dominant style used by Merry Riana in her selected motivational speech videos as a motivator. data were taken from Riana’s YouTube Channel researchers chose 3 "SPOKEN WORD" playlist. In analyzing data, descriptive qualitative method. theory proposed Martin Joss (1967) styles. According (1967), there are five styles: fr...

The authors investigated a contrast enhancement behavior of hydrogen silsesquioxane HSQ in a salty development system NaOH /NaCl . Time-resolved analysis of contrast curves and line-grating patterns were carried out to investigate the unique properties of a salty development process. In NaOH developer without salt, the development process was saturated beyond a certain development time. On the ...

In the present study, the defense styles were assessed in alcohol-dependent patients to verify whether they used less adaptive defense mechanisms compared with healthy controls and to evaluate if immature defense styles (IDSs) are related with alexithymia, while controlling the effect of age, temperament, and character on this relationship in male alcohol-dependent inpatients. Participants were...

While correlational evidence exists that humor is positively associated with well-being, only few studies addressed causality. We tested the effects of five humor-based activities on happiness and depression in a placebo-controlled, self-administered online positive psychology intervention study (N = 632 adults). All of the five one-week interventions enhanced happiness, three for up to six mon...

By proper control of prosody, text-to-speech systems already have the capability to imitate distinctive speaking styles. We show two examples where we can capture the critical features: the singing style of Dinah Shore and the speaking style of Martin Luther King Jr. The styles are described by Stem-ML tags (soft template mark-up language), which offers the flexibility needed to control accent ...

We investigated the fabrication of dense, high aspect ratio hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) nanostructures by 100 keV electron beam lithography. The samples were developed using a high contrast developer and supercritically dried in carbon dioxide. Dense gratings with line widths down to 25 nm were patterned in 500 nm-thick resist layers and semi-dense gratings with line widths down to 10 nm (40 ...
