The goal of our study is twofold. First, the results of two approaches in a tone annotation task are presented: a manual approach provided by the system MISTRAL+ and an automatic approach provided by the system PROSOTRAN. Second, an attempt is made here to determine the number and the patterns of the Mo Piu language tones with respect to the pitch slope and the tone level. It is found that both...

We present some lifting theorems for continuous order-preserving functions on locally and σ-compact Hausdorff preordered topological spaces. In particular, we show that a preorder space has multi-utility representation if, only every compact subspace, function can be lifted to the entire space. Such characterization is also presented by introducing property of ≾-C-compatible closed subspaces. T...

it is well-known that severe deformation to metals causes a direct grain refinement of the matrix without special heat-treatments due to the mechanism of dynamic continuous recrystallization (dcr). however, the microstructural revolution during severe deformation is seemed to be different depending on the deformation mode, namely the direction of deformation. in general, multi-directional defor...
