Despite abundant research on the distribution of glottal stops and glottalization in English and other languages, it is still unclear which factors matter most in predicting where glottal stops occur. In this study, logistic mixed-effects regression modeling is used to predict the occurrence of word-initial full glottal stops vs. no voicing irregularity. The results indicate that prominence and...

The purpose of the following paper is to present author’s experimental field investigations a jointless railway track subjected generated imperfection and analysis response applied static loads. An optical measurement system, Pontos, was used for dynamic track’s deflections in 3D. allow us recommend direct application this system non-contact measurement, visualization simulated defects track, a...

The dynamic performance of straddle monorail train is closely related to the track irregularity. However, there little research on irregularity , and its semi-random particularity makes it impossible use existing spectrum. In this paper, running surface PC beam measured, elevation map drawn, expression random obtained; finger-band deflection under dead load are studied; a method proposed descri...

Shortwave track diseases are generally reflected in the form of local irregularity. Such will greatly impact train–track–bridge interaction (TTBI) dynamic system, seriously affecting train safety. Therefore, a method is proposed to detect and localize irregularities based on multi-sensor time–frequency features high-speed railway bridge accelerations. Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) was used...
