In this paper two MEMS capacitive pressure sensor of two diffident geometries are designed for measurement of absolute pressure. Both of these sensors are designed as parallel plates where one is movable and the other is fixed. The only difference with common parallel plate structure is that one of the movable plates is supported by four anchors with respect to the fixed plate. Here we have con...

Different voice qualities tend to vary in terms of their intrinsic loudness. Perceptual experiments have shown that voice quality variation can be strongly associated with the affective colouring of an utterance. The question addressed in this paper concerns the role that the intrinsic loudness variation might play in this voice quality-to-affect mapping. To test the hypothesis that the intrins...

Three systems for distributing yearly salary raises to faculty according to merit were studied to determine which system is judged to be most equitable.
