Ultrasound tongue imaging is used to visualise the intra-oral articulators during speech production. It utilised in a range of applications, including and language therapy phonetics research. audio are recorded simultaneously, order correctly use this data, two modalities should be synchronised. Synchronisation achieved using specialised hardware at recording time, but approach can fail practic...

This paper describes a novel approach to deterministic multithreading for active replication of Java objects. Unlike other existing approaches, the presented deterministic thread scheduler fully supports the native Java synchronisation mechanisms, including reentrant locks, condition variables, and time bounds on wait operations. Furthermore, this paper proposes source-code transformation as a ...

Markovian analysis is applied to derive nonlinear stochastic equations for the reconstruction of heart rate and respiration rate variability data. A model of their 'phase' interactions is obtained for the first time, thereby gaining new insights into the strength and direction of the cardiorespiratory phase coupling. The reconstructed model can reproduce synchronisation phenomena between the ca...

The business cycle has changed over recent decades The recent period of widespread economic weakness has brought to the forefront questions about how closely economic activity is synchronised across national borders and what transmission channels serve to foster synchronisation. This chapter provides an historical context for the discussion of these issues, reviewing the general evidence on the...

9 A new mechanism to control attention focus formation and switching in the model of selective attention is suggested and studied. The model is based on an oscillatory neural network (ONN) with the star-like architecture and phase shifts in connections between oscillators. Attention is modelled as a dynamical mode of partial synchronisation between a particular subgroup of oscillators and the c...
