The regular and irregular past tense has become a focus for recent debates about the structure of the language processing system, asking whether language functions are subserved by different neural and functional mechanisms or whether all processes can be accommodated within a single unified system. A critical claim of leading single mechanism accounts is that the relationship between an irregu...

We present a simple method for improving the rendered appearance of coarse triangular meshes. We refine and modify the geometry along silhouette edges in real-time, and thus increase the geometric complexity only where needed. We address how to define the improved silhouette and a method to blend the modified and the original geometry continuously. §

Irregular Incurve is a MIDI controllable robotic string instrument. The twelve independent string-units compose the complete musical scale of 12 units. Each string can be plucked by a motor control guitar pick. A MIDI keyboard is attached to the instrument and serves as an interface for real-time interactions between the instrument and the audience. Irregular Incurve can also play preprogrammed...

Non-rigid shape matching is one of the most challenging fields in content-based 3D object retrieval. The aim of the SHREC 2010 Shape Retrieval Contest of Non-rigid 3D Models is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of different methods run on a non-rigid 3D shape benchmark consisting of 200 watertight triangular meshes. Three groups with six methods have participated in this track and the r...

A new and simple approach for calculating the eigenstructure of a regular matrix pencil is presented. This proposed approach transforms the generalized eigenvalues problem into a usual eigenvalues problem, and it also can be used to calculate the Weierstrass form of a regular matrix pencil.

A central question concerning word recognition is whether linguistic categories are processed in continuous or categorical ways, in particular, whether regular and irregular inflection is stored and processed by the same or by distinct systems. Here, we contribute to this issue by contrasting regular (regular stem, regular suffix) with semi-irregular (regular stem, irregular suffix) and irregul...

This paper considers the open multi-channel queuing system, which receives irregular homogeneous or heterogeneous applications with an unlimited flow of standby time. The system is regarded as an example of a container terminal, having conditionally functional sections with a certain duty cycle, which receives an irregular, non-uniform flow of vessels with the resultant intensity.

Due to event‐triggered sampling in a system, or maybe with the aim of reducing data storage, tracking many applications will encounter irregular sampling time. By calculating the matrix exponential using an inverse Laplace transform, this paper transforms the irregular sampling tracking problem to the problem of tracking with time‐varying parameters of a system. ...

A discrete event system (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence, at possibly unknown irregular intervals, of physical events. Because of the special nature of these systems, different tools are currently used for their analysis, design and modeling. The main focus of this paper is the presentation of a new modeling approach of Discrete Event Systems. The ...
