This paper addresses the impacts of signal slew time and signal skew variations on delay uncertainty and cross talk noise in coupled inductive lines for different switching patterns. Our findings reveal that delay variation in a victim line always increases with the reduction of signal slew time and increase in signal skew. We also observe that cross talk noise reduces with increasing signal sk...

Modern TV or radio news talk-shows include a variety of sequences which comply with specific journalistic patterns, including debates, interviews, reports. The paper deals with automatic chapter generation for TV news talk-shows, according to these different journalistic genres. It is shown that linguistic and speaker-distribution based features can lead to an efficient characterization of thes...

How language teachers talk is a key factor in organizing and facilitating learning specifically in language classrooms where the medium of instruction is also the subject matter. This study aimed to examine the extent and ways of teacher talk adaptation to students’ proficiency levels in the Iranian EFL context. Two EFL teachers who were teaching three different proficiency levels were observed...

This paper addresses the problem of learning phrase patterns for unsupervised speaker role classification. Phrase patterns are automatically extracted from large corpora, and redundant patterns are removed via a graph pruning algorithm. In experiments on English and Mandarin talk shows, the use of phrase patterns results in an increase of role classification accuracy over n-gram lexical feature...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of different methods of self-talk (motivational, instructional, and combined) on acquisition and learning of a motor perceptional task (dart) and physical efficacy in female students aged between 13 and 18. 48 female students (mean age 15.46 yr) who were novice at dart throwing voluntarily participated in this study. participants were d...
