conclusions the farsi version of the pass is a valid and reliable tool to measure academic procrastination in iranian undergraduate medical students. background procrastination is a common behavior which affects different aspects of life. the procrastination assessment scale-student (pass) evaluates academic procrastination apropos its frequency and reasons. objectives the aims of the present s...

A new high input impedance voltage-mode universal biquadratic filter with three input terminals and five output terminals is presented. The proposed circuit uses three plus-type differential difference current conveyors, two grounded resistors and two grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit can realize all the standard filter functions: lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch and allpass, without ...

We consider the design of kernels for time-frequency distributions through the phase, rather than amplitude, response. While phase kernels do not attenuate troublesome crosscomponents, they can translate them in the time-frequency plane. In contrast to previous work on phase kernels that concentrated on placing the cross-components on top of the auto-components, we set up a “don’t care” region ...

A new high input impedance voltage-mode universal biquadratic filter with three input terminals and six output terminals is presented. The proposed circuit uses three plus-type differential difference current conveyors (DDCCs), three resistors, and two grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit can realize all the standard filter functions, namely, lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch, and allpass...

An electronically tunable universal voltage-mode biquadratic filter with single input and four outputs using one differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DDCCTA), two resistors and two grounded capacitors is proposed. All the five standard biquadratic filter functions; lowpass (LP), bandpass (BP), highpass (HP), bandstop (BS) and allpass (AP), can be obtained from th...

In this paper, we study a kind of anisotropic p-Laplacian equations in R n. Nontrivial solutions are obtained using mountain pass theorem given by Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz [1].

Can the foreign accent of a speaker be recognized based on suprasegmental temporal information? For a perception experiment we created stimuli based on German sentences read by six French and six English speakers. These foreignaccented sentences were manipulated by (1) applying a lowpass filter with a cutoff frequency of 300 Hz and (2) applying the same lowpass filter and monotonizing F0. In a ...

This paper deals with voltage model flux estimators for speed sensorless induction motor drives. In order to eliminate the drift problems, the pure integrator of the voltage model is replaced with a first-order low-pass filter, and the error due to this replacement is compensated. An effective way to calculate the compensation is presented, and the compensation is carried out before the low-pas...

Pairs of Thai tones were presented for perceptual discrimination in three linguistic contexts (normal speech, low-pass filtered speech, and as musical (violin) sounds) to tonal language speakers, Thai and Cantonese, and non-tonal (English) language speakers. English speakers discriminated the tonal contrasts significantly better in the musical context than in filtered speech, and in filtered sp...
