First of all, ¯ B → Dπ and D * π decays are studied phenomenologically and possible lower bounds of the branching ratios, B(¯ B 0 → D 0 π 0) and B(¯ B 0 → D * 0 π 0), are estimated from existing experimental data on branching ratios for the ¯ B → Dπ and D * π decays. Then, ¯ B → Dπ, D * π, J/ψ ¯ K and J/ψπ decays are studied by decomposing their amplitude into a sum of factorizable and non-fact...

The present article deals with the two parts: (i)The propagation of plane waves in a microstretch thermoelastic diffusion solid of infinite extent. (ii)The reflection and transmission of plane waves at a plane interface between inviscid fluid half-space and micropolar thermoelastic diffusion solid half-space.It is found that for two-dimensional model, there exist four coupled longitudinal waves...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the retinal pigment epithelial/photoreceptor complex is affected in patients with pigment dispersion syndrome and/or in patients with pigmentary glaucoma. METHODS Electro-oculograms were recorded from patients with pigment dispersion syndrome, pigmentary glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and primary open-angle glaucoma and from control subjects. Electro-ocul...

We investigate the attenuation structure of the Earth's inner core and its relationship to the velocity structure globally and along various sampling directions, by studying the amplitude ratios and the differential travel times of the PKiKP–PKIKP and PKPbc– PKIKP phases. Our observations reveal that the amplitude ratios of these core phases, like the differential travel times, vary in both sam...

Abstract The signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) for quasi-circular binary black hole inspirals computed from restricted post-Newtonian waveforms are compared with those attained by more complete postNewtonian signals, which are superpositions of amplitude-corrected harmonics of the orbital phase. It is shown that if one were to use the best available amplitude-corrected waveforms for detection templ...

The objective of the presentation is to report experiments involving the automatic classification of disordered connected speech into multiple (modal, moderately hoarse, severely hoarse) categories. Support vector machines, used for the classification, have been fed with temporal signal-to-dysperiodicity ratios, the first rahmonic amplitude as well as mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. The si...

background and aim: this study investigated whether objective temporal processing paradigms including voice-onset-time, speech-in-noise, and amplitude modulated-broad-band noise (am-bbn) are sensitive to disrupted temporal processing in elderly listeners with normal hearing (age-related-temporal processing deficit). methods: we evaluated 15 adults aged 64–80 years using behavioural measures of ...

earlier studies have shown conclusively that a tuned liquid damper (tld) is effective for controlling vibrations in structures subjected to narrow-banded wind excitations. a recent numerical study has shown that if the design parameters of a tld are properly set, this device could also be very effective for controlling structural vibration to broad-banded earthquake excitations. here the result...

We give some remarks on the n̄p-partial branching ratios in flight at low momenta of antineutron, measured by OBELIX collaboration. The comparison is made to the known branching ratios from the pp̄-atomic states. The branching ratio for the reaction n̄p → ππ is found to be suppressed in comparison to what follows from the pp̄-data. It is also shown, that there is no so called dynamic I = 0–amplitud...

The paper compares acoustic models which predict the position of stress in bisyllabic words in Greek varieties. It is shown that while in Thessalian Greek ratios of peak amplitude and F1 are the best predictors of stress, in Athenian and Cypriot Greek these are ratios of durations and f0. Furthermore in Cypriot Greek morphological category of the token affects the acoustic prominence of the str...
