Goethe for prosody

In this paper, we describe the way in which a recording of Goethe’s “Die Leiden des jungen Werther” published on a multimedia CDROM [7] was made accessible for prosody research. The recording is interesting for prosody research because of its prosodic richness as it displays a large variety of registers and speaking styles. Application areas are: development of prosody models for German TTS, un...

The ROSA project: leveraging e-learning to a semantic layer

Learning Content Management System (LCMS) supports e-learning applications with storage and efficient access for e-Learning Objects (LOs). In order to foster LCMS adoption by the e-learning community, an important issue is to bring course modelling to the realm of the LCMS. In this paper, we describe the Repository of Objects with Semantic Access (ROSA) project. ROSA is a LCMS that provides use...

He was and still is one of our ablest medical scientists. In his account of William Henry Welch and the Heroic Age of American Medicine, my brother, Simon, speaks of a group which included such brilliant men as MacCallum, Opie, G.H....

Milton : a New , Unique

Petrography: The interior of the stone consists of relatively small (mean grain size 1.6 mm), angular olivine grains (~73 vol%) in an iron metal matrix (Fig. 1). Ferric oxides are abundant. Samples easily fragment because of the weathering and numerous, probably preterrestrial, fractures. Olivine contains numerous small (typically 50 μm diameter) inclusions, visible in the SEM, that consist of ...
