It is a common belief in the speech community that the short-time phase spectrum plays very little (or, no) role in human perception tasks as well as in automatic speech recognition systems. In this paper, the usefulness of phase information is explored in human speech perception as well as in automatic speech recognition. Through human perception experiments, it is shown that the short-time ph...

Preserving the Malay heritage, like traditional houses, through virtual reality (VR) technology benefits tourists in terms of learnability and initial experience. Through this technology, have opportunity to experience surroundings a house without being physically present it. To investigate tourists’ towards house, their perception needs be studied. Hence, study was conducted six measurements: ...

Understanding how individuals perceive an emerging technology can have a profound impact on how successfully the technology is adopted. We conjectured that the cognitive style of an individual would have a significant bearing on the way the person perceives the technology. We conducted a laboratory experiment to investigate whether cognitive styles affect the perception of RFID, one of the emer...

This study explores how Chinese college students perceive the quality of e-learning and its impact on their adoption online learning. The develops an model continuous learning intention based stimulus-organism-response framework, technology acceptance model, information system success model. is validated using a structural equation (SEM) fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) with d...

This paper investigates the mediating role of perceived usefulness and ease use on effect online learning self-efficacy factors: in an environment, time management, technology to students' behavioral intention management system. A cross-sectional explanatory research design was employed collect interpret data gathered from 470 senior high students. Mediation analyses were initiated using PROCES...

OBJECTIVE To describe and compare the perceptions of the general population about the harmful effects of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) on users and on those passively exposed to e-cigarettes and the perceptions about e-cigarette usefulness for reducing or eliminating tobacco smoking. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We analysed cross-sectional data from a longitudinal study of a repre...

BACKGROUND Despite marked optimism in the field of nanomedicine about the use of drug-delivery nanocarriers, uncertainties exist concerning nanocarriers' possible unintended impacts and effects. These uncertainties could affect user acceptance and acceptability. "Acceptance" refers to the intention to put a technology or a device to a specified use. "Acceptability" refers to a value judgment th...

Drones, which were first used in military applications, are now widely by civilians for various purposes such as deliveries and cameras. There has been a lack of research into what drone users expect terms design operation from user perspective. In order to figure out want drones, it is necessary investigate the perception preferences with regard drones. Surveys conducted collect data on aspect...

The present paper introduces an efficient and time-saving approach for the evaluation of the consequences of structural uncertainties on sound perception. Its aim is to validate the use of fractional factorial designs for perceptual assessment of a model system. A test bench was used, which allowed to accurately control the variability of several structural design parameters. Sounds emitted by ...
