We have experimentally demonstrated coherent combining of 2 and then 4 fiber lasers,with respectively 99% and 95% combining efficiency. The combining method investigated here isbased on a multi-arm resonator of interferometric configuration. In spite of its interferometricnature, the multi-arm laser operates without significant power fluctuations, even in an unpro-tected environ...

The way we represent intentions, behaviors, and the spatial context, is crucial for any approach to mobile intention recognition. Formal grammars are cognitively comprehensible and make expressiveness properties explicit. By adding spatial domain knowledge to a grammar we can reduce parsing ambiguities. We argue that there are a number of mobile intention recognition problems which require the ...

a case who was suffering from abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea refered to isfahan health training and research center, institute of public health. current treatments for chronic diarrhea incloding a traial of gluten fre diet were performed but these were not effective because he was infected by dicrocoelium dentriticum. then he was cured with parasitic treatment.

hydrogels, due to their unique potentials such as high-water content and hydrophilicity are interest for the controlled release of drug molecules. the present study aims to create a controlled-release system through the preparation and characterization of hydrogels based on ph-sensitive polymers such as poly (acrylic acid). poly (acrylic acid), p(aa), hydrogel has been synthesized by radical po...

In confronting the challenge of providing formal models of dialogue, with its plethora of fragments and rich variation in modes of context-dependent construal, it might seem that linguists face two types of methodological choice: either (a) conversation employs dialogue-specific mechanisms, for which a grammar specific to such activity must be constructed; or (b) variation arises due to indepen...

The need to distinguish two syntactic sources for adnominal adjectives (a direct modification and a relative clause one), with the associated interpretive properties, turns out to have certain implications for the semantic classification of adjectives. We will see that it provides evidence for the existence of a class of truly privative adjectives, and for the conclusion that subsective adjecti...

This paper presents the first acoustic phonetic investigation of Mebengokre, a Jê language spoken in the brazilian Amazon. Our focus lies in one conspicuous property of this language’s phonetic structure: the frequent occurrence of unreleased stops in post-vocalic position. Based on auditory impressions from the field and on theoretical considerations we expected to observe variation in vowel d...

Recent research suggests that it is more appropriate to model pronunciation variation with syllable-length acoustic models than with context-dependent phones. Due to the large number of factors contributing to pronunciation variation at the syllable level, the creation of multi-path model topologies appears necessary. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for constructing multi-path models...
