Generally speaking, the problem of drawing a graph G is set as a combinatorial optimization problem: producing a layout L(G) of G on a given support according to a drawing convention (e.g. layered drawing) that optimizes some measurable aesthetics (e.g. arc-crossing). Numerous criteria lead to NP-complete problems, and aesthetics often conflict with each other. Hence, various heuristics from cl...

This paper discusses issues including tongue position, tongue movement space, constraint etc. of Mongolian word-initial consonants. The experimental result shows that word-initial consonant tongue horizontal movement space is constrained by constriction position and is in conformity with the rule that front consonant leads to smaller tongue movement space; higher consonant leads to smaller tong...

This paper aims at reviewing the recent published works dealing with industrial applications of wavelet and, more generally speaking, multiresolution analysis. After a quick recall in a simple overview of the basics of wavelet transform and of its main variations, some of its applications are reviewed domain by domain, beginning with signal processing, continuous and discrete wavelet transform ...

Ontologies, as “formal and explicit specifications of shared conceptualizations” [1] play a predominant role when developing information systems. This role is increasingly recognised by geo and urban experts when dealing with urban (geo) spatial information systems (GIS, SIS) and spatial databases (SDB). Generally speaking, they provide significant benefits for the design and use of geographic ...

Generally speaking the greater the number of Mycobacteria lepra: there in the system, the greater is the tendency to leprous reaction. Reaction is rarely seen in the early case of nerve leprosy, but the passage from the A1 stage to the B1 stage may be marked by leprous reaction. During the B stages of skin leprosy, reaction is much more commonly seen, but as the A2 stage is approached, reaction...

Several automatic phonetic alignment tools have been proposed in the literature. They generally use speaker-independent acoustic models of the language to align new corpora. The problem is that the range of provided models is limited. It does not cover all languages and speaking styles (spontaneous, expressive, etc.). This study investigates the possibility of directly training the statistical ...

“Ecologically speaking, the diurnal world and the nocturnal world are completely different”. With this sentence Charles-Dominique (1975) introduced his historical paper describing the ecological interpretation of nocturnality and diurnality in primates. In fact, animals have to find different solutions to cope with these two opposing sensory environments which, consequently, have greatly influe...

Study 1 investigated whether differences in the lexical explicitness with which languages express false belief influence children's performance on standard false belief tasks. Preschoolers speaking languages with explicit terms (Turkish and Puerto Rican Spanish) were compared with preschoolers speaking languages without explicit terms (Brazilian Portuguese and English) on questions assessing fa...
