In previous work, we have shown that near-surface effects, principally static shifts, can be largely removed from seismic data using two novel concepts: finding and deconvolving ‘statics distribution functions’ from the traces; and transforming the input data to the radial trace domain, where near-surface effects can be separated by their dependence upon raypath angle. We have demonstrated our ...

Independent examination and replication of the core syndrome factor structure of the Adjustment Scales for Children and Adolescents (ASCA; McDermott, Marston, & Stott, 1993) is reported. A sample of 1,020 children were randomly selected from their classroom and rated on the ASCA by their teacher. The six ASCA core syndromes produced a two-factor solution through principle axis analysis using mu...

This paper presents an evaluation protocol for the subjective assessement of text-to-speech in audiobook reading tasks. We developed a questionaire with 11 scales an tested it on TTS data from 4 different synthetic voices, plus one optimized version. A MANOVA on the data gathered with the questionnaire showed that the text type has a significant influence on 7 of the 11 scales. Moreover, the le...

Interpersonal chemistry refers to a connection between two individuals that exists upon first meeting. The goal of the current study is to identify beliefs about the underlying components of friendship chemistry. Individuals respond to an online Friendship Chemistry Questionnaire containing items that are derived from interdependence theory and the friendship formation literature. Participants ...

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to assess appearance, visibility, location and course of anatomical landmarks in mandibular interforaminal region using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). STUDY DESIGN A total of 96 CBCT examinations was re-evaluated to exploit anatomical landmarks. The examinations used the Promax 3D CBCT unit. A sole examiner carried out all the measurements. Visibilit...

The aim of this study is to develop a scale determine the satisfaction levels high school students towards school. draft was piloted 650 studying in five central districts Antalya 2020-2021 academic year. Afterwards, real application made 614 students. Rotated principal component analysis used obtain information about validity over obtained data. In order construct scale, and factor analyzes we...

INTRODUCTION The most frequent adverse effect of canine impaction is resorption of the adjacent incisors. The subjective image quality and the radiographic diagnostic accuracy for detection of simulated canine-induced external root resorption lesions in maxillary lateral incisors were compared among 6 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems in vitro. METHODS A child cadaver skull in the ...

Gabor deconvolution has been updated and a new ProMAX module is released. The updates are: (1) a new method of spectral smoothing called hyperbolic smoothing; (2) a Gabor transform using compactly supported windows that improves run times by one to two orders of magnitude; and (3) a post-deconvolution time-variant bandpass filter whose maximum frequency tracks along a hyperbola in the time-freq...
