The “individuation” of oral language what makes a speaker different from another is still largely an unknown territory [1], especially with respect to the individual and creative use of speech prosody. This pilot study raises fundamental, methodological and empirical issues concerning the relationship between speakers’ prosodic styles and their personality profiles. Our preliminary results supp...

BACKGROUND Researchers have categorized the learning styles in many ways. Kolb proposed a classification of learner's styles as convergers, divergers, assimilators and accommodators. Honey and Mumford simplified learning styles as activists, reflectors, theorists and pragmatists. Neil Fleming's VARK model (Visual, Auditory, Read/write and Kinesthetic) is also popular. This study was carried out...

Neural style transfer has drawn broad attention in recent years. However, most existing methods aim to explicitly model the transformation between different styles, and the learned model is thus not generalizable to new styles. We here attempt to separate the representations for styles and contents, and propose a generalized style transfer network consisting of style encoder, content encoder, m...

Classroom environmental conditions establish the social climate or atmosphere of a setting. Stern in 1970 stated that student's perceptions of classroom climate or learning environment are useful in predicting achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was an effect between teaching style and student learning style on classroom environment. The population of this study con...

the aim of this study was to investigate differences in stress coping styles between athletic and non-athletic students with high and low self-esteem. for this purpose, 465 students (118 females and 347 males, mean age 23.58+3.20 years) were selected by available sampling method. the questionnaire of coping styles (dadsetan et al. 1384) and self-esteem (rosenberg, 1987) were used to evaluate th...

Multiperspectives naturally arise out of co-operative work in applying appropriate technologies to construct different parts of an application. The representation styles of various perspectives can be highly heterogeneous and open-ended since those perspectives should be presented in a form appropriate to each participant in the software development process. This makes it difficult to provide c...

One of the major developments in machine learning in the past decade is the ensemble method, which finds highly accurate classifier by combining many moderately accurate component classifiers. This paper addresses using an ensemble of classification methods for recognizing totally unconstrained handwritten numerals. Due to a great variety of individual writing styles, the problem is very diffic...

Global competition and rapidly changing customer requirements are forcing major changes in the production styles, planning, services, configuration of manufacturing organizations and many other areas. Agents and multi-agent systems are becoming a new way to analyze, design and implement complex (software) systems, specifically, when the design problem is distributed in nature, the development o...
