This paper evaluates 4 commercial text-to-speech synthesisers used by dyslexic people to listen to and proof read text. Two evaluators listened to 704 common English words and determined whether the words were correctly pronounced or not. Where the evaluators agree on incorrect pronunciation, the proportion of correct pronunciations for the four synthesisers is in the range 98.9% to 99.6% of th...

A Franson-type test of the Bell-inequality is presented. Energy and time entangled photons at wavelengths of 704 and 1310 nm are produced by para-metric downconversion in KNbO3 and are sent through optical fibers into a bulk-optical (704 nm) and a fiber-interferometer (1310 nm), respectively. The two interferometers are located 35 meters aside from one another. Using Faraday-mirrors in the fibe...

Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...

Corn production management including nitrogen consumption will be different at different circumstances. In order to investigate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield components of seed corn hybrids in Khuzestan weather conditions, this research was carried out in the summer of 2013 in the lands of Safi Abad Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Center-Dez...
