The presentation concerns a method for tracking cycle lengths in voiced speech and analysing vocal cycle lengh fluctuations. The tracking of cycle lengths is based on a dynamic programming algorithm, which does not request that the signal is locally periodic and the average period length is known a priori. The obtained cycle length time series is then decomposed into a sum of intrinsic mode fun...

We improve the method in [1] for increasing the finite-lengh performance of polar codes by protecting specific, less reliable symbols with simple outer repetition codes. Decoding of the scheme integrates easily in the known successive decoding algorithms for polar codes. Overall rate and block length remain unchanged, the decoding complexity is at most doubled. A comparison to related methods f...

In this paper we develop novel extensions of collision and track lengh estimators for the complete space-angle solutions of radiative transport problems. We derive the relevant equations, prove that our new estimators are unbiased, and compare their performance with that of more conventional ) estimators. Such comparisons based on numerical solutions of simple one dimensional slab problems indi...

The paper presents a review of the average accelerator turnaround time in existing superconducting hadron machines (HERA at DESY@, RHIC at BNL§ and the TEVATRON at FNAL&). Based on the past experience with these previous hadron accelerators the paper aims at a best guess estimate for an initial and optimum turnaround time in the LHC during the first year of operation and for routine operation a...

The present study was carried out to test our hypothesis that linguistic competence may importantly determine the manifest symptomatology as well as type of schizophrenia and neurosis. A test of linguistic competence constructed by us after two tryouts and consisting of eight subtests, namely colour naming, naming filial relationships and household objects, TAT (mean lengh of utterance and tota...

the electric quadrupole, hexadecapole moments, energy (kjmol -1) for some armchair polyhex carbon nanotubes tuvc6[2p,q] are performed by beck-lee-yang-parr [b3lyp] on 3-21g basis set using the standard procedure indices gaussian 98, then the padmakar-ivan (pi) index of tuvc6[2p,q] nanotubes in the terms of their circumference (2p) and lengh (q) is calculated and the relationships between the pa...

We study the results of a descriptive and exploratory study, with the intent to understand the results of a 21 male schizophrenic patients interned in a Portuguese Mental Health Care Centre, evaluated with neuropsychological test. We tried also to link these tests with variables such as schooling, family contact or lengh of internment. The assessment instruments were: Digits Series and Vocabula...
