This study among 426 Japanese couples working in different occupational sectors tested the hypothesis that perspective taking moderates the crossover of work engagement. More specifically, we predicted that husbands' work engagement would cross over to their wives, particularly when wives scored high on perspective taking (the spontaneous tendency to adopt the psychological perspective of other...

A perceptual study has been performed to investigate relationship between acoustic parameters and the voice individuality making use of the pitch synchronous analysis-synthesis system Voice-individuality is involved in many acoustic parameters and the aim of this experiment is to examine how individual parameters affect the voice-individuality by separately giving them some distortions. Formant...

NE of the fundamental problems concerning the mechanism of cross0 ing over is the question of chromatid interference. In the absence of chromatid interference the identity of the chromatids involved in two or more chiasmata or points of crossing over is random. Positive chromatid interference would exist if a crossover between one pair of chromatids reduced their chances of being involved in a ...

This paper proposes a content-based audio information retrieval and indexing technique based on wavelet transform. The presented approach uses multiresolution decomposition property of the discrete wavelet transform to analyze audio data. The wavelet decomposition of an audio signal highly resembles to its decomposition in sound octaves. A hierarchical indexing scheme is constructed using stati...

This paper presents a new estimator for the velocity of a mobile station in micro-cellular systems. The proposed estimator is based on the zero-crossing rate of the instantaneous frequency of the received signal. The effects of additive noise, scattering distribution, and shadowing on the proposed velocity estimator are analyzed. The IF-based velocity estimator outperforms the conventional esti...

growth of information and communication technologies has influenced the research trends n speech technologies. This research explains a basic speech segmentation application for Arabic language with the aim to further develop a language tutor. The focus is on rabic as there are standards available which help in obtaining better accuracy. The roblem has been formulated in the form of a number of...
