In the history of exchanges between Islamicate and Sanskrit astral sciences, Nityānanda's Siddhāntasindhu (c. early 1630s), composed at court Mughal emperor Shāh Jahān (r. 1628─58), is among earliest examples a Persian astronomical text translated into Sanskrit. an earlier study, Misra (2021) described sociohistorical context in which Nityānanda Mullā Farīd's Zīj-i Jahānī 1629/30) Sanskrit, oth...

Studies of downtrend have reported that accents/tones are realised at progressively lower F0 values during an utterance. Listeners are reported to compensate for such F0 variations over time( Pierrehumbert 1979). Underlying the downtrend studies is the assumption that the phonological categories under investigation are invariant over time and that declination can be factored out of the quantita...

This paper focuses on analyzing the F0 contour of happy speech. We designed some declarative sentences and recorded them in happy and neutral expressive states. All of our speakers were asked to express these sentences in the same imaginary scene. It is known that emotion can be expressed through modifying acoustic features of speech in various ways, such as pitch, intensity, voice quality and ...

The 352 MHz Westerbork In the Southern Hemisphere (WISH) survey is the southern extension of the WENSS, covering 1.60 sr between −9 < δ < −26 to a limiting flux density of ∼18 mJy (5σ). Due to the very low elevation of the observations, the survey has a much lower resolution in declination than in right ascension (54 × 54cosecδ). A correlation with the 1.4 GHz NVSS shows that the positional acc...
