This paper addresses the problem of modeling prosody for language identification. The main goal is to validate (or invalidate) some languages characteristics proposed by the linguists by the mean of an automatic language identification (ALI) system. In previous papers, we defined a prosodic unit, the pseudo-syllable. Static modeling has proven the relevance of the pseudo-syllable unit for ALI. ...

Pseudo-Newtonian gravitational potential describing the gravitational field of static and spherically symmetric black holes in the universe with a repulsive cosmological constant is introduced. In order to demonstrate the accuracy of the pseudo-Newtonian approach, the related effective potential for test-particle motion is constructed and compared with its general relativistic counterpart given...

This paper proposes a novel adiabatic static random access memory (SRAM) using memristor. The proposed SRAM which is a sinusoidal driving consists of one NMOS transistor and one memristor (i.e. 1T1M type). The proposed SRAM also is driven by an optimal voltage resulting in a decrease of energy dissipation. From SPICE simulation results, we show that the energy dissipation of proposed 1T1M-SRAM ...

A type of novel hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent was obtained by sulfonation and cross-linking reaction of polypropylene fiber grafted styrene-divinylbenzene. The aim of the fiber sulfonation and cross-linking method was to prepare rigid three dimensional networks in the entire fiber and change the ion exchange capacity of fiber. The hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent possesses a principall...

• Pseudo-static cyclic tests on Cross-Lam Timber (CLT) and Light Frame (LTF) shear walls. Decomposition of the post-elastic displacement into sliding, rocking deformation components. Similarity two structural responses due to same resisting mechanism. A capacity model based sole hold-down reaction seizes overall response. The estimated overstrength factors manifests intrinsic differences betwee...
