Emotional communication in music is based in part on the use of pitch and timing, two cues effective in emotional speech. Corpus analyses of natural speech illustrate that happy utterances tend to be higher and faster than sad. Although manipulations altering melodies show that passages changed to be higher and faster sound happier, corpus analyses of unaltered music paralleling those of natura...

In the Georgia Centenarian Study (Poon et al., Exceptional Longevity, 2006 ), centenarian cases and young controls are classified according to three categories (age, ethnic origin, and single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs] of candidate longevity genes), where each factor has two possible levels. Here we provide methodologies to determine the minimum sample size needed to detect dependence in 2...

The use of the Internet for business purposes among small businesses started quite early in the e-commerce evolution. In the beginning, innovative and entrepreneurial owners of small businesses attempted to use rudimentary Internet tools such as electronic mail (e-mail) and file transfer protocol (FTP) to exchange messages and documents. While primitive, it fulfilled much of the business needs ...

A structural study has been performed on the MgO(111)-(1 · 1) surface by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) using experimental data obtained with a delay-line-detector LEED (DLD-LEED) system to minimize electron damage. It was found that the surface is terminated by a hydroxide layer with the topO–Mg interlayer spacing equal to 1.02 Å, which is close to the spacings betweenMg andO planes in...

The Immerman-Szelepcsenyi Theorem uses an algorithm for co-stconnectivity based on inductive counting to prove that NLOGSPACE is closed under complementation. We want to investigate whether counting is necessary for this theorem to hold. Concretely, we show that Nondeterministic Jumping Graph Autmata (ND-JAGs) (pebble automata on graphs), on several families of Cayley graphs, are equal in power...

In this paper, characteristics of different Gabor phase based facial feature representations are studied for the face recognition problem. Experiments show that, filter responses acquired from larger scales show higher discriminating ability. Based on this study following methods are proposed: I) A faster face recognition method that is forty times faster than the conventional Gabor face repres...
