A Laundry Maid and a Hospital Epidemic

were altogether 21. Numerous precautions were taken, the infected infants were isolated, special nurses were detailed for their exclusive nursing, the use of a common bathroom for the infants was discontinued, the bath water was medicated with antiseptics, and various other measures were taken but without the slightest result. The epidemic continued to spread to different wards and different st...

Maid Analysis Techniques *

MAID is a unitary isobar model for a partial wave analysis of pion photoand electroproduction in the resonance region. It is fitted to the world data and can give predictions for multipoles, amplitudes, cross sections and polarization observables in the energy range from pion threshold up to W = 2 GeV and photon virtualities Q < 5 GeV. Using more recent experimental results from Mainz, Bates, B...

Unitary Isobar Model - MAID 2007

The unitary isobar model MAID2007 has been developed to analyze the world data of pion photo-and electroproduction. The model contains both a common background and several resonance terms. The background is unitarized according to the K-matrix prescription, and the 13 four-star resonances with masses below 2 GeV are described by appropriately unitarized Breit-Wigner forms. The data have been an...

Phonetic Aspects of "Speech-Laughs"

L'étude examine des "speech-laughs" (rire dans la parole) dans un corpus de dialogues spontanés pour la langue allemande. La majorité des rires étiquetés recouvre la parole au lieu de l'interrompre comme attendu. La qualité phonétique typique pour les "speech-laughs" est une aspiration supplémentaire (différente pour les sons voisés et non voisés), parfois accompagnée par un vibrato dans la pho...
