Acoustic characteristics of speech signals differ with gender due to physiological differences of the glottis and the vocal tract. Previous research [1] showed that adding the voice-source related measuresH∗ 1 −H∗ 2 andH∗ 1 −A3 improved gender classification accuracy compared to using only the fundamental frequency (F0) and formant frequencies. H∗ i refers to the i–th source spectral harmonic m...

the oxidation of n-pentanol by tetramethylammonium fluorochromate in acidic solution wasstudied using spectrophotometric technique. the reaction was arranged to be under pseudo firstorderconditions respect to the oxidant. a michaelis-menten type kinetic was observed respect tothe substrate. the reaction is catalyzed by hydrogen ions. dependences of the reaction rates ontemperature and different...

Abstract. We address, in this chapter, the identification of typical patterns that best characterize a set of sequences. More specifically, we focus on data-driven methods that search for the typical patterns among the observed sequences. In life course studies, such typical sequences serve, for instance, to describe ideal-type life trajectories; i.e., the common way(s) of organizing our life. ...

We show how the quantum-to-classical transition of the cosmological fluctuations produced during an inflationary stage can be described using the consistent histories approach. We identify the corresponding histories in the limit of infinite squeezing. To take the decaying mode into account, we propose an extension to coarse-grained histories.

Quantum trajectory theory, developed largely in the quantum optics community to describe open quantum systems subjected to continuous monitoring, has applications in many areas of quantum physics. In this paper I present a simple model, using two-level quantum systems (q-bits), to illustrate the essential physics of quantum trajectories and how different monitoring schemes correspond to differe...

Consistent Hashing functions are widely used for load balancing across a variety of applications. However, the original presentation and typical implementations of Consistent Hashing rely on randomised allocation of hash codes to keys which results in a flawed and approximately-uniform allocation of keys to hash codes. We analyse the desired properties and present an algorithm that perfectly ac...
