Human listeners can perceive speech signals from a voice-modulated ultrasonic carrier which is presented through a bone-conduction stimulator (bone-conducted ultrasound, BCU), even if they are sensorineural hearing loss patients. As an application of this phenomenon, we have been developing a bone-conducted ultrasonic hearing aid (BCUHA). The performance of BCUHA has been evaluated considering ...

We review the spectroscopy and some properties of hadrons containing two charmed quarks, or more generally, two heavy quarks. This includes heavy baryons such as (bcu), and possible exotic multiquark states.

AbstractThis research addresses biological compact unit(BCU)used for onsite wastewater treatment application and replication in small communities as a non- conventional water resource agricultural purposes. A (BCU) was fabricated installed the in-house experimental zone where domestic sewage delivered to BCU continuously .Operation of continuous, hence at different organic loading rates (OLR) t...

This paper discusses the performance of critical trajectory method (CTrj) for power system transient stability analysis under various loading settings and heavy fault condition. The method obtains Controlling Unstable Equilibrium Point (CUEP) which is essential for estimation of power system stability margins. The CUEP is computed by applying the CTrjto the boundary controlling unstable equilib...

Ultrasonic vibration generates the sensation of sound via bone-conduction; the phenomenon is called bone-conducted ultrasonic hearing. Complex sounds also can be perceived by amplitude-modulated bone-conducted ultrasound (AM-BCU). In this study, three experiments were conducted to examine whether interaural time differences in the amplitude envelopes (envelope-ITDs) and interaural intensity dif...

In this paper we describe the systems we developed for the English (lexical and allwords) and Basque tasks. They were all supervised systems based on Yarowsky's Decision Lists. We used Semcor for training in the English all-words task. We defined different feature sets for each language. For Basque, in order to extract all the information from the text, we defined features that have not been us...

Although the risks of contracting Weil's disease in the UK are small, it can be a serious illness. Recently the disease has attracted public interest. This interest has prompted confusion and anxiety among recreational water user groups such as canoeists who had not previously seen themselves as being particularly at risk. In this paper, the experience of symptoms associated with Weil's disease...
