This paper examines whether observed phenomena in energy declination can be used to improve the naturalness of synthetic speech. In two production experiments different aspects of intensity fall-off within utterances are analysed including degree of stress, phrase length, phrase boundaries. Energy manipulation was carried out using diphone synthesis as a basis for generating stimuli for percept...

One form of assisted training is a downhill sprint, which uses portion gravity. This study aimed to compare sprinting on multiple and level ground clarify the parameters related sprint velocity differences in movement. The subjects were 17 male university athletics students, made 50 m five slopes (slope = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5°), respectively. results showed that higher than for at all (1°, 2°, 3°, 4°,...

BACKGROUND The most commonly primary intramedullary spinal cord tumors (ISCT) in adults are the noninfiltrative lesions, corresponding to Klekamp's type A classification. There are few reports exclusively considering this type of lesions, their resectability and postoperative functional declination risk, and to our knowledge, none from Latin America. This led us to evaluate our results to provi...

many earthquakes occur in iran every year and some of these earthquakes cause loss of life and property. consequently earthquake is one of challenging topics not only in iran but also in other active tectonic regions in the world. investigating the mechanism of earthquake as a natural disaster is the first and important step. to study earthquakes, different information such as geometry and beha...

This paper investigated how dialectal variations can influence the realization of tonal register and declination pattern in Taiwan Mandarin. Twelve speakers, six from the Northern dialect (standard) and six from the Central dialect (nonstandard), were recruited for a reading task. Target syllables of Tone 1 (T1) were embedded in a carrier sentence in three different sentential positions, initia...

There has been observational evidence about spin axes of quasars in large quasar groups correlated over hundreds Mpc. This is seen the radio spectrum as well optical range. not yet a satisfactory explanation this “spooky” alignment. alignment cannot be explained by mutual interaction at time that manifest themselves optically. A cosmological could possible formation superconducting vortices (co...

ABSTRACT Using a three-component, multiscale diffusion model, we show that the cosmic ray (CR) proton and helium spectra dipole anisotropy can be explained with reasonable parameters. The model includes nearby source associated supernova remnant (SNR) gave rise to Geminga pulsar, at Galactic Centre, component disc. CR flux below TeV is dominated by disc component. centre continuous injection of...
