Listeners categorized an /s–S/ continuum in front of the vowels [u, a, i] spoken by two male and two female speakers. One of each gender was more typical than the other. Listeners’ adjustments for these vowel and speaker characteristics were associated to their self-ratings with respect to both the specific personality traits measured by the Autism-Spectrum Quotient and the more general Big Fiv...

The study was carried out to determine the differences in the low-frequency dynamic mechanical properties of the guinea pig aorta and portal vein. Experiments were performed at five passive load levels in the aorta and at four levels in the portal vein. Sudden stretches 65 s in duration were imposed on the muscles, and the resulting force responses were recorded. After the experiments, the Four...

Let S be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic p≥3 and Sp the subring obtained by lifting to image Frobenius map on S/pS. R integral closure in a biradical extension degree p2 its quotient field adjoining p-th roots sufficiently general square free elements f,g∈Sp. We show that admits birational maximal Cohen-Macaulay module. It is noted not automatically Cohen-Macaulay.

Abstract We investigate the recovery of almost s-sparse vectors x ∈ C from undersampled and inaccurate data y = Ax + e ∈ C by means of minimizing ‖z‖1 subject to the equality constraints Az = y. If m s ln(N/s) and if Gaussian random matrices A ∈ Rm×N are used, this equality-constrained `1-minimization is known to be stable with respect to sparsity defects and robust with respect to measurement ...

We comment on the conformal boundary states of the c=1 free boson theory on a circle which do not preserve the U(1) symmetry. We construct these Virasoro boundary states at a generic radius by a simple asymmetric shift orbifold acting on the fundamental boundary states at the self-dual radius. We further calculate the boundary entropy and find that the Virasoro boundary states at irrational rad...
