In this paper, we propose a music evaluation method. In this method, impressions of given music are represented by features by value, so that the music impressions are processed on computers. To obtain the music impressions, we experiment music impressions by using a semantic differential method. Then, we construct several models based on the experimental results with multiregression analysis. ...

We present results from a study connecting status characteristics theory and affect control theory. Replicating a previous study (Dippong and Kalkhoff 2015), we examine the relationship between affective impressions and general performance expectations. The current study builds on previous work by employing an experimental setting specifically designed to isolate status as the sole basis of soc...

Management of the freshwater resources in a sustained manner requires information and understanding surface water hydrology streamflow is key importance this nexus. This study evaluates performance eight different precipitation products (APHRODITE, CHRS CCS, CDR, CHIRPS, CPC Global, GPCC, GPCP, PERSIANN) for prediction two sub-catchments (Chirah Dhoke Pathan) data-scarce Soan River Basin (SRB) ...

background and aims. the condensation silicone impression materials are available, but there is little knowledge of their accuracy after disinfection. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the disinfection by spray atomization on dimensional accuracy of condensation silicone impressions. materials and methods. impressions were made on a stainless steel master model containin...

Person perception is a dynamic, evolving process. Because other people are an endless source of social information, people need to update their impressions of others based upon new information. We devised an fMRI study to identify brain regions involved in updating impressions. Participants saw faces paired with valenced behavioral information and were asked to form impressions of these individ...

We address the study of interpersonal perception in social conversational video based on multifaceted impressions collected from short video-watching. First, we crowdsourced the annotation of personality, attractiveness, and mood impressions for a dataset of YouTube vloggers, generating a corpora that has potential to develop automatic techniques for vlogger characterization. Then, we provide a...

OBJECTIVE We have recently described a modification (Veil of Aphrodite) designed to preserve the lateral prostatic fascia (LPF) during robotic prostatectomy. Here, we histologically compare the Veil of Aphrodite technique (VT) and standard nerve-sparing technique (ST). METHODS Thirty-six consecutive prostatectomies performed by a single surgeon were processed by the whole-mount method. The ri...

The 17,922 base pairs (bp) nucleotide sequence of the linear mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) molecule of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbyi (Hydrozoa, Trachylina, Limnomedusae) has been determined. This sequence exhibits surprisingly low A+T content (57.1%), containing genes for 13 energy pathway proteins, a small and a large subunit rRNAs, and methionine and tryptophan tRNAs. Mitochondr...
