This paper reconfirms that talker identity can be transmitted across languages. Talker discrimination was examined in the ABX paradigm, where the stimuli A and B were utterances by different talkers in the same language and the stimulus X was an utterance by either of A or B in the different language. The average hit rate of this discrimination task was as high as 0.89. The mutual distance matr...

This paper presents an experiment on sound tracing, meaning an experiment on how people relate motion to sound. 38 participants were presented with 18 short sounds, and instructed to move their hands in the air while acting as though the sound was created by their hand motion. The hand motion of the participants was recorded, and has been analyzed using statistical tests, comparing results betw...

The crystal structure of the title compound, deca-methyl-cobaltocene, [Co(C(10)H(15))(2)], has been determined. High-quality single crystals were grown from a cold saturated hexa-methyl-disiloxane solution. The structure is related to the manganese and iron analogs. The molecule has D(5d) symmetry, with the Co atom in a crystallographic 2/m position. The cobalt-centroid(C(5)) distance is 1.71Å ...

Let S be a set of points in IR d , each with a weight that is not known precisely, only known to fall within some range. What is the locus of the centroid of S? We prove that this locus is a convex polytope, the projection of a zonotope in IR d+1. We derive complexity bounds and algorithms for the construction of these \centroid polytopes".

Music conveys emotions by means of pitch, rhythm, loudness, and many other musical qualities. It was recently confirmed that timbre also has direct association with emotion, for example, that a horn is perceived as sad and a trumpet heroic in even isolated instrument tones. As previous work has mainly focused on sustaining instruments such as bowed strings and winds, this paper presents an expe...

This paper investigates the dependence of perceived timbral brightness on pitch and spectral centroid for single notes and pairs of simultaneous notes. In both cases, brightness is better correlated with the spectral centroid fc than with the ratio of fc to the pitches of the notes.

In the title compound, C7H8N4S, the non-H atoms of the pyrazolo-[3,4-d]pyrimidine ring system and the methyl-sulfanyl group lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via a number of π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances vary from 3.452 (7) to 3.6062 (8) Å], forming a three-dimensional structure.

A method for improving centroid-based clustering is suggested. The improvement built on diversification of the k-means++ initialization. algorithm claimed to be a better version k-means tested by computational set-up, where dataset size, number features, and clusters are varied. statistics obtained testing have shown that, in roughly 50 % instances cluster, outputs worse results than with rando...

We detail the design, simulation, layout, and testing of four analog VLSI subaperture centroid circuits for use in an adaptive optics system. Each centroid circuit consists of four large photo-transducers arranged in a 2 x 2 array and two current di erencing circuits. The di erencing circuits compute the location of the image centroid relative to the center of the array in the xand y-directions...
