Compared to words that are new to a discourse, repeated words are produced with reduced acoustic prominence. Although these effects are often attributed to priming in the production system, the locus of the effect within the production system remains unresolved because, in natural speech, repetition often involves repetition of referents and lexical items simultaneously. Therefore, repetition r...

Bootstrap is an empirical non-parametric statistical technique based on data resampling that has been used to quantify uncertainties of diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) parameters, useful in tractography and in assessing DTI methods. The current bootstrap method (repetition bootstrap) used for DTI analysis performs resampling within the data sharing common diffusion gradients, requiring multiple acqu...

Advanced Infrared (AIr) protocol is the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) proposal for indoor optical wireless LANs. AIr utilizes a GoBack-N (GBN) Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) retransmission scheme at the LC layer to cope with transmission errors. AIr also utilizes Repetition Rate (RR) coding to reach stations with low Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR). This paper studies the effectiveness of repla...

We have demonstrated a 10 Hz Ni-like Mo x-ray laser operating at 18.9 nm with 150 mJ total pump energy by employing a novel pumping scheme. The grazing-incidence scheme is described, where a picosecond pulse is incident at a grazing angle to a Mo plasma column produced by a slab target irradiated by a 200 ps laser pulse. This scheme uses refraction of the short pulse at a predetermined electron...

We investigate a power line communications (PLC) scheme that could be used to enhance the HomePlug 1.0 standard, specifically its ROBO mode which provides modest throughput for the worst case PLC channel. The scheme is based on using a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code, in lieu of the concatenated Reed-Solomon and convolutional codes in ROBO mode. The PLC channel is modeled with multipath fa...

in arabic poetry, the device of repetition functions at two levels: form and meaning. in form, repetition makes for musical richness, and in meaning, it makes for emphasis. the present article is a study of repetition in “an address from the market of idleness” by palestinian poet samä«h al-qäsim. the poem depicts actual and possible palestinian sufferings inflicted by israelis and stresse...

Two types of repetition preambles are compared concerning frequency synchronization in burst transmission. A near–optimum frequency estimation algorithm with scalable lock–in range is proposed in conjunction with a reduced–overhead synchronization preamble, the so–called sandamble. Even though the fundamental ideas are independent from the specific modulation scheme, we study the algorithms in ...

In this paper, in light of the imaging characteristics of missile-borne MMW spotlight SAR for ground target, some main problems including the imaging resolution and choice of pulse repetition frequency are discussed. Then a new scheme of motion compensation which consists of range alignment, phase adjustment and compensation for the movement with non-constant velocity is presented. Image recons...
