Background Word recognition tests must be conducted in the native language of listener to obtain valid word scores. Existing Singapore Mandarin speech audiometry test materials that are disyllabic lack sensitivity and not phonologically balanced. Objective The purpose this study was address those limitations develop a set lists for testing speakers Mandarin. Methods were developed over three ph...

A staggered Runge-Kutta (staggered RK) scheme is the time integration Runge-Kutta type scheme based on staggered grid, which was proposed by Ghrist and Fornberg and Driscoll in 2000. Afterwords, Vewer presented efficiency of the scheme for linear and semilinear wave equations through numerical experiments. We study stability and convergence properties of this scheme for semilinear wave equation...

We report on progress in measuring disconnected correlators associated with pseudoscalar flavorsinglet mesons. This will eventually allow us to compute the masses of the eta and eta’ mesons. Flavor-singlet physics also presents an interesting test of the staggered fermion formulation, as disconnected correlators are sensitive to whether the same action governs both sea quarks and valence quarks...

We review several results that have been obtained using lattice QCD with the staggered quark formulation. Our focus is on the quantities that have been calculated numerically with low statistical errors and have been extrapolated to the physical quark mass limit and continuum limit using staggered chiral perturbation theory. We limit our discussion to a brief introduction to staggered quarks, a...

Natural convection heat transfer was investigated experimentally in a concentric-cylinders annulus. To enhance the rate of heat transfer, pin fins were installed on the surface of the inner cylinder. Two fin arrangements were employed, namely, staggered and in-line arrangements. The length of the fins varied from 2 to 8 cm and the Rayleigh number Ra changed in the range from 5 x 105  to 5 x 106...

The fourth root approximation in LQCD simulations with dynamical staggered fermions requires justification. We test its validity numerically in the interacting theory in a renormalization group framework. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.
