Individual variation of larynx position reflects human morphological differences and thus contributes to generating biological information in speech sounds. This study examines the factors of orofacial morphology that co-vary with larynx position based on MRI data collected for 12 Japanese and 12 English speakers. The materials are midsagittal craniofacial images, and the method is based on the...

This paper is concerned with configurations of points in a plane lattice which determine angles that are rational multiples π \pi ....

In this paper, we consider two D-branes rotated with respect to each other, and argue that in this way one can find brane configurations preserving 1 16 of SUSY. Also we classify different brane configurations preserving 12 , 1 4 , 3 16 , 1 8 , 1 16 of SUSY.

Consider an orthogonal polyhedron, i.e., a polyhedron where (at least after a suitable rotation) all faces are perpendicular to a coordinate axis, and hence all edges are parallel to a coordinate axis. Clearly, any facial angle (i.e., the angle of a face at an incident vertex) is a multiple of π/2. Also, any dihedral angle (i.e., the angle between two planes that support to faces with a common ...

A distribution-based classification approach and a set of recently developed texture measures are applied to rotation-invariant texture classification. The performance is compared to that obtained with the well-known circular-symmetric autoregressive random field (CSAR) model approach. A difficult classification problem of 15 different Brodatz textures and seven rotation angles is used in exper...

Given a combinatorial description C of a polyhedron having E edges, the space of dihedral angles of all compact hyperbolic polyhedra that realize C is generally not a convex subset of R [9]. If C has five or more faces, Andreev’s Theorem states that the corresponding space of dihedral angles AC obtained by restricting to non-obtuse angles is a convex polytope. In this paper we explain why Andre...
