It has been argued for sixty years that there exists a relation between surface tension and surface energy on an unstrained solid as given by the Shuttleworth equation. It is shown here that the Shuttleworth equation reduces to the definition of surface tension derived from mechanics. Therefore, it provides no additional relation to the physics of surfaces. This derivation also reveals precisel...

We propose a wideband CELP-type speech coder at 16 kb/s based on a mel-generalized cepstral (MGC) analysis technique. MGC analysis makes it possible to obtain a more accurate representation of spectral zeros compared to linear predictive (LP) analysis and take a perceptual frequency scale into account. A major advantage of the proposed coder is that the benefits of MGC representation of speech ...

The Wideband-Audio Low-Delay CELP (LD-CELP) coder produces speech with quality as high as the CCITT 64 kb/s standard (G.722) at half the bitrate. The computational load of the encoder is almost 900% processor time of the 12.5 MIPS DSP32c. This makes a real-time implementation impractical. We investigated the Gain-Shape Vector-Quantization (GSVQ) in order to reduce the computational load of the ...

Significant gaps remain between public opinion and the scientific consensus on many issues. We present results of three studies ( N = 722 in total) for development testing a novel instrument to measure largely unmeasured aspect literacy: enterprise science, particularly context its social structures. posit that this understanding is an important source public’s trust science. Our indicate Socia...
