This study addresses the roles of segment deletion, durational reduction, and frequency of use in the comprehension of morphologically complex words. We report two auditory lexical decision experiments with reduced and unreduced prefixed Dutch words. We found that segment deletions as such delayed comprehension. Simultaneously, however, longer durations of the different parts of the words ap­ p...

In this paper, we show by an example that Enns ke quency weighted balanced reduction procedure when applied to a scalar stable transfer function with input and output weights can result in an unstable reduced order model. A variation on the method is then presented which is guaranteed to yield stable reduced order models even when both input and output weighti n g ~ are included. The method is ...

Abstract Introduction Living kidney transplantation from donors bearing no genetic or emotional relationship with the recipient, is known as unspecified donation (UKD). UKD can create multiple living donor opportunities and shorten national waiting list for cadaveric organs. Consequently, UK Donor Kidney Transplantation 2020 Strategy, has prioritised maximising UKDs. The Internet an established...

"We develop a new model of bivariate survival based on the notion of correlated individual frailty. We analyze the properties of this model and suggest a new approach to the analysis of bivariate data that does not require a parametric specification--but permits estimation--of the form of the hazard function for individuals. We empirically demonstrate the advantages of the model in the statis...

A numerical study of a complex network of coupled (Van der Pol) oscillators is performed. The problem of analyzing phase synchronization in a network by studying the index of phase synchronization, cal culated both along all elements of the network and according to the integral characteristics at different fre quencies of generator mismatch and different topologies of the bonds between network ...

Due to increasing size and complexity of electric power systems. there has been an increasing interest in stabilization of such large-scale power systems. In the past fixed gain controllers were effectively used for damping out the low f r e quency oscillations. These stabilizers are designed based on linearized model of power systems for a particular operating and system condition. They are un...
