We study the discretised segments generated by the iterated Tribonacci substitution and the projections of the integer points on them to some plane. After suitable transformations we get a sequence of finite two-dimensional words which tends to a doubly rotational word on Z. (Without scaling we would get the Rauzy fractal.) As an introduction we start with the corresponding case of the Fibonacc...

We study the effects of modeling tone in Mandarin speech recognition. Including the neutral tone, there are 5 tones in Mandarin and these tones are syllable-level phenomena. A direct acoustic manifestation of tone is the fundamental frequency (f0). We will report on the effect of f0 on the acoustic recognition accuracy of a Mandarin recognizer. In particular, we put f0, its first derivative (f0...

Based on the measurements of (D+ s ,D +) → f0(1370)π we determine, in a model independent way, the allowed ss̄ content in the scalar meson f0(1370). We find that, on the one hand, if this isoscalar resonance is a pure nn̄ state [nn̄ ≡ (uū + dd̄)/ √ 2 ], a very large W -annihilation term will be needed to accommodate D+ s → f0(1370)π. On the other hand, the ss̄ component of f0(1370) should be small e...

Fundamental frequency (F0) control models for singing voices are required to construct singing-voice synthesis systems that can generate natural singing-voices. This paper describes the development of an F0 control model for singing-voices synthesis. F0 fluctuations are revealed as characteristics that need to control the F0 contour of singing-voices by investigating how much they influence sin...

This paper describes the relationship between bedrock depth (D) and site fundamental frequency (f0) in Nakdonggang delta region southeastern part of Korean peninsula. We collected borehole logs to confirm thickness sediments estimated f0 at over 200 locations across using horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method. developed an map study area by spatially interpolating values Ordinary ...

abstract background: screening for patients at risk of renal scarring is a challenge in children with acute pyelonephritis (apn). diuretic tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (mag3) scintigraphy with zero time injection of furosemide (mag3-f0) was observed to display focal parenchymal disorders. the advantages of mag3 include: lower radiation dose and short duration of the test. the aim of this stu...

Studies of the effect normalized radiation fluxes on measurement result revealed most influential one. The value flow F0 was shown to have a greater relative error than ΔF0. This allows investigating relationship between controlled Fx and F0. Experimental studies confirmed that by threefold increase in Fx, it becomes possible accuracy wide range. In particular, found at flux F0=0.16×10-3 W, mea...

agronomic and physiological traits and protein expression were compared between non-bt glandless upland cotton variety-zhong5629 and its bt-transgenic near-isogenic lines differing in cryiac gene. results showed that the bt isogenic line had higher plant height and rate of effective bolls, more internal bolls but lower yield, than the non-bt line. the bt isogenic line had lower chlorophyll cont...

This paper proposes a new fundamental frequency(F0) contour control method based on vector representation of F0 contour. The main points of the proposed method are as follows; (1) Desired F0 contours are created by selecting or modifying natural F0 contours held in a speech database. (2) F0 contour selection is based on statistical estimation using a vector representation of F0 contour (3) The ...
