S. KRČMAR, M. KUČINIĆ, P. DURBEŠIĆ i A. BENOVIĆ: Kukci sa sredine Jadranskog mora. Entomol. Croat. 2010., Vol. 14., Num. 3-4: 75-84. Uzorkovanje kukaca (Insecta) tijekom 2009. godine na sredini Jadranskog mora obavljeno je tijekom mrkle noći, čije je rezultat zabilješka 12 vrsta iz reda dvokrilaca (Diptera) i dvije vrste leptira iz reda (Lepidoptera). Utvrđene vrste svrstane su u sljedeće porod...

This study examined the durational structure of single and geminate stop distinction produced in three- and four-mora words of Japanese, (C(1))V(1)(C(2))C(2)V(2)X [(C(2))C(2) = the contrasting consonants; X = a CV mora, the moraic nasal, or a long vowel as part of V(2)]. The questions addressed were how factors such as speaking rate, segmental variability, and moraic composition of words affect...

This study investigated to what extent the timing organisation of a first language (L1) influences the production of a second language (L2). We studied the timing compensation phenomenon as a tool for analysis of rhythmic organisation. Previous phonetic studies show that the mora is the basic unit of speech timing in Japanese, whereas in French the duration of a phrase is dependent on the numbe...

Moraic theory has been successful in formally representing the distinction between long and short vowels and between single consonants and geminates (Hayes 1989). In this sense, the mora represents a timing unit – segments attached to two moras are longer than segments attached to one. Such a conception of the mora is also appropriate when length distinctions are not binary. Broselow et al. (19...

In this study, we investigated the relationship between turntaking and prosody. We considered that to interact smoothly in real-time communication, speakers must show presignals to turn-taking as prosodic features before turn edges. We attempted to discriminate the turn change by the decision tree method using only prosodic features in turn-final accentual phrases that include earlier positions...

The variable threshold(VT), which detects the speech rate deceleration, is proposed. The VT varies dynamically depending upon the duration of previous mora in the utterance. The VT should not change rapidly because listener cannot perceive small variations of mora duration. Thus, a set of functions with time constants which decide response speed of the VT is introduced. We apply the VT to six s...

Satellite networks could offer global communication without need of terrestrial infrastructure. Network coding could exploit the shared nature of wireless medium to improve network throughput. In this paper, we combine the satellite network routing algorithm with network coding, proposing a novel Network Coding based Multipath Opportunistic Routing Algorithm (NC-MORA) for Satellite Networks. Th...

This paper analyzes the influence of common ground (Clark 1996, Stalnaker 2002) on the variable use of Whinterrogatives in Brazilian Portuguese, in which four different structures are employed with semanticpragmatic equivalence: (1) Onde você mora? (Where you live?); (2) Onde que você mora? (Where that you live?); (3) Onde é que você mora? (Where is-it that you live?); and (4) Você mora onde? (...
