An n-dimensional chair consists of an n-dimensional box from which a smaller n-dimensional box is removed. A tiling of an n-dimensional chair has two nice applications in some memories using asymmetric codes. The first one is in the design of codes which correct asymmetric errors with limited-magnitude. The second one is in the design of n cells q-ary write-once memory codes. We show an equival...

We propose a tamper-evident storage system based on probe storage with a patterned magnetic medium. This medium supports normal read/write operations by outof-plane magnetisation of individual magnetic dots. We report on measurements showing that in principle the medium also supports a separate class of write-once operation that destroys the out-of-plane magnetisation property of the dots irrev...

This paper explores the relative contributions made by orthography, syllabic segment, and lexical tone in the word recognition and retrieval process. It also challenges recent assumptions regarding the role of orthography and tones in mental lexicon architecture. Using an implicit priming paradigm, a word recognition experiment was conducted with native speakers of two tonal languages, Chinese ...

Related languages, like English and Spanish, often have similar orthographies but use the same letters to represent different sounds. Learning a second language frequently involves learning additional letter-sound mappings that mismatch those in the native language. In the current study, we investigated whether L2 spoken words activate L2 orthography despite conflict with L1 orthography-to-phon...

Scientists propose to understand the effect of music on human psyche, knowledge about soul, science, metaphysics, and spheres. At center all these discussions, we assume researchers are not focusing how triggers emotions. In this century live in, most writers agree that is crucial issue. Today’s want know why creates strong emotional reactions in people with scientific explanations. Our study a...

The objective of this work is to present a numerical study of contaminant migration in saturated porous media. For this purpose, the advection-difussion equation describing the evolution of contaminant plumes in a vertical cross section of an aquifer is discretized employing a Total Variation Diminishing method (TVD), which provides an efficient way to eliminate spurious numerical oscillations ...

This study addresses Samuel Beckett’s most celebrated play, Waiting for Godot, in an effort to analyze its characters from a novel perspective. Since Greek mythology has been undisputedly influential on Western culture and literature, the researcher attempts to investigate a connection between Greek mythology and the play. This study aims to reveal that even after more than fifty seven years of...

Greeklish is a transliteration of the Greek language written using Roman characters. This phenomenon started in the 1980’s, when the Greek language was unfortunately covered by multiple ASCII extensions (codepages) which were incompatible. This lead to communication problems, with users being forced to guess the correct encoding of every message, document and webpage. Making matters worse, publ...
