As a part of the IST project Interface ("Multimodal Analysis/Synthesis System for Human Interaction to Virtual and Augmented environments"), an emotional speech database for Slovenian, English, Spanish, and French language has been recorded. The database is designed for general study of emotional speech as well as analysis of emotion characteristics for speech synthesis and for automatic emotio...

At the beginning of the 1970s there seemed little reason to believe that strangeness-conserving neutral currents existed: theoreticians had no pressing need for them and several experiments suggested that they were suppressed if they were present at all. Indeed the two remarkable neutrino experiments that eventually led to their discovery were designed and built for very different purposes, inc...

We would like to thank all the commentators who responded to our target review paper [1] for their thought-provoking ideas and for their initially positive characterization of our theorizing. Our position provoked a broad range of reactions, from enthusiastic support [2-4] to some kind of opposition [5,6]. Regardless of the type of the response, one common factor appears to be the plausibility ...

‘One universe, one logic’ takes the world as it is and leads to adjointness as the global logic of anything. The alternative approach to find a unification of known logics requires assumptions and is therefore consistent with the same conclusion for a universal logic has to be universally applicable. The universal characteristic of adjointness is that it has a natural construction from the conc...

Many astronomers seem to believe that we have discovered that Pluto is not a planet. I contest this assessment. Recent discoveries of trans-Neptunian Pluto-sized objects do not militate for Pluto's expulsion from the planets unless we have prior reason for not simply counting these newly-discovered objects among the planets. I argue that this classificatory controversy - which I compare to the ...

The research discusses the development of an urban approach that acts as orienting paradigm for design in religious city. Here comes question about adopting metaphysical monism intellectual capable formulating a formal town so city is not affected by undesirable transformations. To highlight problem, which stated: (there no clear vision process building based on dominant forces), goal was deter...

We survey the flavor-changing neutral couplings (FCNC) of the top quark predicted by some extensions of the Standard Model: THDM, SUSY, L-R symmetric, TC2, 331, and models with extra quarks. Since the expected sensitivity of the LHC and ILC for the tcV (V = γ, g, Z) and tcH couplings is of order of a few percent, we emphasize the importance of any new physics effect that gives a prediction for ...

THE PUBLICATION FOR the first time in its entirety of what was writ­ ten of Russell's 1913 book, Theory of Knowledge,I throws a flood of light on . m��Y aspe�ts of Ru�sell's philosophy between the completion of Pnnczpw _ a�d his co�verswn to neutral monism, and perhaps even more o . n the ongms of Wmgenstein's logical atomism. The book was to con­ Sist of two large parts (Russell at one time th...

In chapter 2 we introduce our formalism, and discuss the Standard Model picture of CP violation in B decays, with special emphasis on the cleanliness of the predictions. Chapter 3 gives a general discussion of new physics effects: we point out the ingredients in the analysis that are sensitive to new physics and deduce the type of new physics that is most likely to modify the Standard Model pre...
