[1] The influence of density variation on scattering is investigated in terms of attenuation, coda level, and apparent frequency shift. The influence of density variations is to producemore scattered energy than for velocity perturbations alone with a consequently higher coda level. The temporal decay of the coda is reduced, so that high perturbations in density are associated with a long durat...

In this study, statistical analysis is used to investigate nasal coda loss in spoken Standard Chinese. In order to find out the factors that influence nasal coda loss, we take into account the segmental and supra-segmental features and their interactions. We find out that articulation manner, post nasal coda boundary and tone influenced the nasal coda loss significantly, the interaction between...

This paper provides an overview of the CODA framework for modelling and refinement of componentbased embedded systems. CODA is an extension of Event-B and UML-B and is supported by a plugin for the Rodin toolset. CODA augments Event-B with constructs for component-based modelling including components, communications ports, port connectors, timed communications and timing triggers. Component beh...

Coda waves are sensitive to changes in the subsurface because the strong scattering that generates these waves causes coda waves to repeatedly sample a limited region of space. Coda wave interferometry is a technique that exploits this sensitivity to estimate weak changes in the medium from a comparison of the coda waves before and after the perturbation. Here I present the general theory of co...

Coda waves arise from scattering to form the later arriving components of a seismogram. Coda-wave interferometry (CWI) is an emerging tool for constraining earthquake source properties from the interference pattern of coda waves between nearby events. A new earthquake location algorithm is derived which relies on coda-wave-based probabilistic estimates of earthquake separation. The algorithm ca...

Genetically engineered tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) with the ability to synthesize glycinebetaine was generated by introducing the codA gene encoding choline oxidase from Arthrobacter globiformis. Integration of the codA gene in transgenic tomato plants was verified by PCR analysis and DNA blot hybridization. Transgenic expression of gene was verified by RT-PCR analysis and RNA blot hybridi...

Stable single-station estimates of magnitude have been made using the 1-Hz Lg coda envelope of regionally recorded nuclear explosions from the Nevada Test Site (NTS). After empirical relations describing the Lg coda envelope were found for each NTS-station path, single station magnitudes based on the Lg coda envelope were made with precision in the range of 0.03 to 0.04 magnitude units, whereas...

S U M M A R Y Earthquakes occurring in the Indonesian subduction zone recorded in the cratonic regions of northern Australia have long, high frequency coda associated with both P and Swaves. Similar behaviour is seen for earthquakes within Australia on paths within the cratonic regions. The complex character of the coda and its rapid spatial variation indicate that the high frequency waves have...

This research explores the role of phonotactic probability in two-year-olds' production of coda consonants. Twenty-nine children were asked to repeat CVC non-words that were used as labels for pictures of imaginary animals. The CVC non-words were controlled for their phonotactic probabilities, neighbourhood densities, word-likelihood ratings, and contained the identical coda across low and high...
