Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals (BAS), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Schellingstr. 3, 80799 München, Germany schiel|[email protected] Abstract Speech uttered under the influence of alcohol is known to deviate from the speech of the same person when sober. This is an important feature in forensic investigations and could also be used to detect intoxication in the auto...

We have developed a policy-based decision framework that provides authorization and cost-based accounting in the EZGrid system, a resource broker for metacomputing. Primarily, this work allows the administrators and the owners to exercise more control over their resources by dictating usage permissions and/or restrictions in a grid environment. This mechanism is independent of the applications ...

Reflectionless potentials play an important role in constructing exact solutions to classical dynamical systems, non-perturbative of various large-N field theories, and closely related solitonic the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations theory superconductivity. These rely on inverse scattering method, which reduces these seemingly unrelated problems identifying reflectionless auxiliary one-dimensiona...

cquisition channels are important predictors of customer loyalty in the first stages of a business–consumer relationship. Although some researchers have provided examples of the differences in the value of the customers businesses acquire via different channels, they have not considered the impact of acquisition channels on loyalty and cross-buying. Using probitmodels we explored how retention ...

The goal of the present study was to explore how parental BIS/BAS relates to parenting styles, and to investigate if subjective well-being (SWB) moderates these associations. Mothers (n = 95) were asked to complete measures of personality, parenting styles, and life satisfaction (SWB). Results revealed that mothers who reported high BAS were significantly more likely to report being nurturing a...

In this paper, analytic solutions of two-dimensional coupled Burgers' equations are obtained by the Homotopy analysis and the Homotopy Pad$acute{e}$ methods. The obtained approximation by using Homotopy method contains an auxiliary parameter which is a simple way to control and adjust the convergence region and rate of solution series. The approximation solutions by $[m,m]$ Homotopy Pad$acute{e...

Objective The objective of this study is to develop a systematic approach to standardize the use of auxiliary labels for oral oncology drugs. Design The project was multi-phased: environmental scan of auxiliary labels used at six BC Cancer Agency centre pharmacies, develop guidelines to support auxiliary labels standardization, develop inclusion criteria for common warnings and standardize warn...

In probabilistic cloning with two auxiliary systems, we consider and compare three different protocols for the success probabilities of cloning. We show that, in certain circumstances, it may increase the success probability to add an auxiliary system to the probabilistic cloning machine having one auxiliary system, but we always can find another cloning machine with one auxiliary system having...
