Male white-lipped frogs exhibit conspicuous behavioral responses to calling conspecific males that are nearby but out of view. Since the calls often are accompanied by strong seismic signals (thumps), and since the male white-lipped frog exhibits the most acute sensitivity to seismic stimuli yet observed in any animal, these animals may use seismic signals as well as auditory signals for intras...

This contribution presents a stochastic analysis model, aiming at segmentation of the motion vector fields from compressed video sequences into regions of coherent motion. We propose a stochastic motion coherency model based on parametric affine motion. This model applies the 2-D GibbsMarkov random field to identify motion-coherent smoothcontour regions and corresponding motion model estimates....

This paper provides a brief review of the history of deaf education in Australia, Australian Sign Language (Auslan), and Auslan interpreting. A panel of Australian deaf university students from diverse linguistic and educational backgrounds provides insights into their perceptions of sign language interpreting provision in university lectures. They commented on their interpreting preferences af...

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...

This paper studies for the first time effect of spatial variability ground motions (SVGM) with large intensities on inelastic seismic response pylons which are responsible overall structural integrity cable-stayed bridges. The svgm is defined by delay earthquake at different supports, loss coherency waves and incidence angle motion. An extensive study conducted bridges ‘H’- inverted ‘Y’-shaped ...

The presence of noise in towed marine seismic data is a long-standing problem. various types present records are never truly random. Instead, more complex and often challenging to attenuate processing. Therefore, we have examined wide range real examples contaminated by different including swell noise, interference strumming passing vessel vertical particle velocity streamer hit fishing gear sn...

When interpreting takes place in a videoconference setting, the intrinsic technological challenges and the very remoteness of the interpreters’ location compound the complexity of the task. Existing research on remote interpreting and the problems it entails focusses on remote conference interpreting, in which the interpreters are physically separated from the conference site while the primary ...
