Abstract The contemporaneous detection of gravitational waves and gamma rays from GW170817/GRB 170817A, followed by kilonova emission a day after, confirmed compact binary neutron star mergers as progenitors short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) cosmic sources heavy r -process nuclei. However, the nature (and life span) merger remnant energy reservoir powering these bright flashes remains deba...

Speaker and paralinguistic properties of dialogue speech that affect the timing at turn changes are investigated by analyzing the UU Database for Paralinguistic Information Studies. The results showed a large variation among speakers and a strong interaction with partner in pause/overlap duration. In addition, perceived emotional states of utterances had significant effects on the pause/overlap...
