In a pilot investigation, aiming to develop new methodological insights into the study of perceptual modelling of the macro-prosodic organization of spoken Swedish, different aspects of the listeners’ variation were studied. Two listener groups, students at the beginner’s level and trained phoneticians, had to mark the most prominent words and the chunks they could hear in speech samples of spo...

In this paper, we propose languagespecific methods of sentiment analysis in morphologically rich languages. In contrast of previous works confined to statistical methods, we make use of various linguistic features effectively. In particular, we make chunk structures by using the dependence relations of morpheme sequences to restrain semantic scope of influence of opinionated terms. In conclusio...

It is common for a wayfinding task to involve travel across a familiar and an unfamiliar region that encompass different parts of the same route. Routes of this kind would entail schematized descriptions and the schematization would directly depend on the familiarity of the region being described. This paper presents a new formalization that identifies key conceptual elements of such routes and...

In order to assess the effect of eruption rate on the surface morphology and degassing mechanisms of silicic lava flows, we studied surface characteristics and obtained water content and hydrogen isotopic values of samples from flows at the Mount St. Helens and Santiaguito lava domes. We compared the surface textures and inferred degassing processes to short-term extrusion rates and found that ...

As the industrial hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) market grows, there is a need for methods to clonally propagate parental breeding stock and new cultivars. Information lacking on vegetative cutting propagation of hemp. We evaluated how environment (intermittent mist vs. subirrigation under humidity dome), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) formulation (talc rooting powder IBA in solution), concentration (...

The main purpose of this paper is to compare the results modal analysis for two types domes. first one a low-rise Schwedler dome. second high-rise geodesic dome subjected large displacement gradients and should be designed according geometrical nonlinear analysis. In case dome, linear sufficient. analysis, mass bars supporting structures was modeled as evenly distributed, while covering roof eq...
