This study examined syllable duration at discourse boundaries in spontaneous speech in Taiwan Southern Min with an eight-hour monologue corpus contributed by sixteen speakers, evenly split by gender and age. In order to control for prosodic boundary type, we only examined discourse boundaries coincided with an intonational phrase boundary followed by a pause. In addition, to tease apart the the...

Mono dispersed nano SiC particles with spherical morphology were synthesized in this project by hydrolysis and condensation mechanism during sol gel processing. pH, temperature and precursor’s ratio considered as the main parameters which could influence particles size. According to DLS test results, the smallest size of particles in the sol (<5nm) was obtained at pH<4. It can be observed from ...

It is demonstrated that in a two-stage scenario with elementary Poissonian emitters of particles (colour strings) arbitrarily distributed in their number and average multiplicities, the forward-backward correlations are completely determined by the final distribution of forward particles. The observed linear form of the correlations then necessarily requires this distribution to have a negative...

A method to search for particles of unknown masses in final states with two invisible is presented. Searching missing energy a challenging task usually performed the tail related distribution. The proposed based on 2-Dimensional mass reconstruction state particles. Thus, bump hunting possible, allowing stronger signal versus background discrimination. Parameters BSM theory can be extracted from...

gelled propellants are improved propellants that can be considered as the final extension of liquid propellants. high specific impulse, good density and safety better than that of both solid and liquid propellants are advantages of the gel propellants. they are made by addition a suitable gellant to liquid propellants. in this research, nano al particles have been used in udmh gel fuel. the gel...

Three-dimensional simulations of grain growth in thin films containing finely dispersed second-phase particles were performed using a phase field model. The simulations show that although the growth behavior of the columnar grain structures in thin films is essentially two-dimensional, the interaction between the particles and the grain boundaries is three-dimensional. Grain boundaries can ther...

In a transport model that combines initial state interactions of the photon with final state interactions of the produced particles we present a calculation of inclusive photoproduction of mesons in nuclei in the energy range from 1 to 7 GeV. We give predictions for the photoproduction cross sections of pions, etas, kaons, antikaons, and π + π − invariant mass spectra in 12 C and 208 Pb. The ef...

Particles adsorbed on the surface of a droplet form three-dimensional packings when the droplet evaporates. We study the final packings when the liquid droplet is attached to a solid substrate. In contrast to a droplet evaporating away from a substrate, here the final packings are highly dependent on both the number of particles and the contact angle between the droplet and the surface. Simple ...
