Given that Mandarin is a tone language and English is not, the present study investigated the perception of Mandarin tones in young school-aged children with or without tone language exposure. Mandarin Monolingual (MM), English-Mandarin Bilingual (EMB) and English Monolingual (EM) children aged 6 to 8 years participated in tone identification and discrimination tasks. Tone identification and di...

Using the convex combination of random binary variables, stochastic vectors and stochastic matrices are systematically realized. The techniques are extended to the realization of stochastic automata as randomly fed deterministic automata. Conditions for stochastic state equivalence are analyzed to uncover the connection with deterministic state equivalence. State minimality of both the stochast...

We study the performance of the Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and the interpolated ON-OFF voice over the differentiated services Internet. Both the Premium and Assured services are tested, and their relative performance is investigated. Using these services, at the DS3 rate, the call handling capacity can be doubled, at the expense of packetization delay and a few milliseconds packet delay. Also, at ...
