Simulations of the climatic response to midHolocene (6 ka BP) orbital forcing with two coupled ocean–atmosphere models (FOAM and CSM) show enhancement of monsoonal precipitation in parts of the American Southwest, Central America and northernmost South America during Northern Hemisphere summer. The enhanced onshore flow that brings precipitation into Central America is caused by a northward dis...

In this paper, we tried to develop a vowel training assistant method using vowel formant statistics. Formant statistics were obtained from PBW set consists of 452 words from 8 persons. Then, we calculated distance from input formants to each center of vowel formant space. Based on the distance, directions to correct the speaker's manner of articulations, i.e. position of jaw and tongue.

A convenient technique for calculating completed topological tensor products of functional Fréchet and DF spaces is developed. The general construction is applied to proving kernel theorems for a wide class of weighted spaces of smooth and entire analytic functions.

[1] This study presents an analysis of observed data sets from multiple sources, including observations from a network of Argo floats during (2002–2003), with the aim of investigating the role of the southwest monsoon circulation in affecting the interactions between the oceanic mixed layer and the underlying thermocline in the northern Indian Ocean. Examination of the seasonal cycle of the upp...

The Farming/Language Dispersal Hypothesis posits that prehistoric population expansions, precipitated by the innovation or early adoption of agriculture, played an important role in the uneven distribution of language families recorded across the world. In this case, the most widely spread language families today came to be distributed at the expense of those that have more restricted distribut...

Background: Retinoblastoma is the most common embryonic tumor of retina of children. This tumor include 3-4% of all children malignancies during the age range 0-14 years. In this study, we reported the incidence, therapeutic protocols, and treatment outcome of children with RB in South west Iran. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical reports clinical and pathological features of...
