Computer Supported Telecommunication Applications (CSTA) is a widely adopted ECMA/ISO standard suite for global and enterprise communications. As it becomes evident that spoken language systems are playing an ever important role in telecommunications, CSTA has been revised to include a specification on spoken language interfaces so as to promote the interoperability and adoption of spoken langu...

This paper investigates the role of pitch accent information in spoken-word recognition in listeners in Fukushima, Japan, whose dialect is accentless. Previous research revealed that accentless listeners were less sensitive to pitch accent than Tokyo Japanese listeners. The present study asked whether middle-aged listeners’ use of accent information would differ from that of young listeners. 40...

Standard-essential patents (SEPs) have become a key element of technical coordination via standard-setting organizations. Yet, in many cases, it remains unclear whether declared SEP is truly standard-essential. To date, there no automated procedure that allows for scalable and objective assessment status. This paper introduces semantics-based method approximating the standard essentiality paten...

background: hospitals employing telesurgery need to be evaluated to determine whether they satisfy the international standards. the main goal of this research was to assess the software, hardware, telecommunication equipments, privacy and security methods, and staffing requirements for supporting and executing telesurgery in hospitals affiliated to tehran universities of medical sciences, tehra...

This contribution proposes for Recommendation G.812 (1) a holdover specification for Clock Type II that is consistent with the current specification of 10 per day and is not broken into aging, temperature, and initial offset components and (2) a modification to the output wander TDEV mask, to apply only to Types II and III, to make the mask consistent with the respective wander generation TDEV ...

In this article, Fifth generation mobile technology is termed 5G. It basically a standard notation, used for major phase of telecommunication other than 4G standards. After the overall success fourth (4G) communications which was based on platform named “Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced standard” developed by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), industry along with research department...
