Many‐valued logic is reflected in formant location and spectral composition

Warming-induced amplification of peatland C and N cycles is not reflected in bacterial community composition

?Logic and Formal Ontology: Is the Final Formal Ontology Possible

Musa Akrami AbstractMany philosophers and logicians have contemplated the relationship between ontology and logic. The author of this paper, working within a Bolzanoan-Husserlian tradition of studying both ontology and logic, considers ontology as the science of the most general features of beings and the most general relations among them. He considers logic as the science concernin...

Hereditary hemochromatosis is reflected in the iron isotope composition of blood.

It has recently been shown that the iron isotopic composition of blood differs between individuals and sexes, which is supposed to reflect individual differences in iron metabolism. We hypothesized that patients suffering from hereditary hemochromatosis would demonstrate alterations in the iron isotopic composition of blood due to persistent up-regulation of intestinal iron absorption. Blood fr...

Formant position based weighted spectral features for emotion recognition

In this paper, we propose novel spectrally weighted mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (WMFCC) features for emotion recognition from speech. The idea is based on the fact that formant locations carry emotion-related information, and therefore critical spectral bands around formant locations can be emphasized during the calculation of MFCC features. The spectral weighting is derived from the nor...

Fuzzy logic for rule-based formant speech synthesis

Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic has been initiated by Zadeh back in 1965 to permit the treatment of vague, imprecise, and ill-defined knowledge in an concise manner. One of the unique advantages of fuzzy logic is that it is capable of directly incorporating and utilizing qualitative and heuristic knowledge in the form of causal if-then production rules for reasoning and inference. On the other...
