Let $p(x)$ be a nondecreasing real-valued continuous function
 on $R_+:=[0,\infty)$ such that $p(0)=0$ and $p(x) \to \infty$ as $x \infty$.
 Given real or complex-valued integrable function $f$ in Lebesgue's sense every bounded interval $(0,x)$
 for $x>0$, symbol $f \in L^1_{loc} (R_+)$, we set
 $$
 s(x)=\int _{0}^{x}f(u)du
 and
 \sigma _{p}(s(x))=\frac{1}{...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Exhaled nitric oxide (ENO) is a noninvasive marker of airway inflammation. The purpose of this study was to compare a standardized offline ENO measurement apparatus with a validated on-line method. DESIGN Asthmatic volunteers (n = 21) had ENO measured by the two following methods: (1) inhalation to total lung capacity (TLC) followed by exhalation at a constant flow (45 mL/s) ...

This study presents an approach to the generation of American English intonation based on prescriptive rules that define the respective features of certain tone labels that in turn represent linguistically relevant F0 configurations. In accordance with the principles of the Tone Sequence Model the F0 contour is analyzed as a series of discrete target values that are connected by means of transi...
