Nowadays the number of mobile subscribers is increasing all over the world, so the system for the communication has to be improved. Mixed Excited Linear Prediction (MELP) algorithm is developed for reducing the bandwidth of the signal as well as transmission of large data on a single channel. This results in increase channel capacity. This also results in, increasing the number of user in a cha...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has a remarkable characteristic, high efficiency, and good controllability, which makes it attractive for high-speed applications. In this paper, the basic control strategy for a switched reluctance motor drive circuit is explained and then three different resonant discharge topologies for SRM drive circuit are proposed. Due to resonantly discharging of exc...

The Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) Approach claims that there are some universalities in all languages. Speech acts seem to be present in all languages, but considering this approach, research has not indicated whether request speech act differs from one language to another. Thus, this study intended to investigate whether request strategies are used differently in English and Persian roma...

Innate behaviors are shaped by contingencies built during evolutionary history. On the other hand, environmental stimuli play a significant role in shaping behavior. In particular, a short period of environmental enrichment can enhance cognitive behavior, modify effects of stress on learned behaviors and induce brain plasticity. It is unclear if modulation by environment can extend to innate be...

This paper investigates the prosodic characteristics of reported speech in the Switchboard corpus. We find that directly reported speech is signalled by a greater overall pitch range than the surrounding narrative material and is typically preceded by intonational phrase boundaries. By contrast, prosody does not seem to distinguish indirectly reported speech from ordinary narrative speech. The ...
