Over the course of a lifetime, adults develop perceptual categories for vowels and consonants in their native language, based on distribution those sounds environment. However, any given listening situation, short-term can cause changes this long-term categorization. For example, if same sound (the adaptor) is heard many times short period time, listeners adapt become less prone to hearing that...

The Moment is a mobile application for people with depression or bipolar disorder to monitor their emotional ups and downs, reveal their emotional patterns, and eventually find a peaceful way to live with their emotions, rather than fighting with them. The system consists of two main components: a smartphone application for the users to track their feelings and memories about events, and a sens...

When constructing empirical models, researchers must make decisions about which variables to include, how those variables relate to the outcome variable, and how that mapping varies across units in the population. Additional decisions are made in conducting robustness checks or analyzing heterogeneity or multiple outcomes. Estimates from the selected models often do not account for the search p...

1. Introduction In Applied Sciences a variety of problems, formulated in terms of linear boundary values or integral equations, leads to a Hausdorff moment problem. Such a problem arises when a given sequence of real numbers may be represented as the moments around the origin of non-negative measure, defined on a finite interval, typically [0, 1]. The underlying density f (x) is unknown, while ...

Moments of images provide efficient local descriptors and have been used extensively in image analysis applications. Their main advantage is their ability to provide invariant measures of shape. In this work, we present an overview of the most commonly used image moments, as well as a hardware architecture capable of fast calculation of geometric, Zernike and Tchebichef moments. Index Terms – I...
