We present a model of text analysis for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis based on (weighted) finite-state transducers, which serves as the text-analysis module of the multilingual Bell Labs TTS system. The transducers are constructed using a lexical toolkit that allows declarative descriptions of lexicons, morphological rules, numeral-expansion rules, and phonological rules, inter alia. To date, ...

A graph is called supermagic if it admits a labeling of the edges by pairwise different consecutive integers such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with a vertex is independent of the particular vertex. In this paper we establish some conditions for graphs with a saturated vertex to be supermagic. Inter alia we show that complete multipartite graphs K1,n,n and K1,2,...,2 are supe...

regulatory decision making in the assessment of drugs proposed as candidates for nonprescription status. They proposed, inter alia, a ‘value tree’ approach to allow the identification of drug specific attributes within common domains which apply to the benefits and risks of all nonprescription drugs. In doing so they created the components of a potential common language for the evaluation of me...

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentrations (FeNO) are elevated in asthmatic children and have been used inter alia to guide inhaled corticosteroid treatment in children [1]. Caffeine consumption might influence FeNO independently of asthma and more than one plausible mechanism has been identified. Studies in adults have reported changes in FeNO within 1 h of caffeine ingestion but the resul...

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of rac-endo,exo-5,6-dicarbomethoxynorbornene (inter alia) yields a cis,syndio,alt-polymer, one in which the sequential units in the cis,syndiotactic polymer consist of alternating enantiomers. Cis selectivity arises through addition of the monomer to produce an all-cis-metallacyclobutane intermediate, while syndioselectivity and alternating enantiom...

Applications of operations research to mine planning date back to the 1960s. Since that time, optimization and simulation, in particular, have been applied to both surface and underground mine planning problems, including mine design, longand short-term production scheduling, equipment selection, and dispatching, inter alia. In this paper, we review several decades of such literature with a par...

money laundering is a silent crime which crosses international boundaries. modern technology has led to new avenues to disguise the proceeds of crime. the advent of electronic money has meant that tracing the transfer of possibly illicit funds is an extremely difficult if not impossible task. therefore there is a need to take consistent measures against money laundering throughout the world esp...

nowadays, in most legal systems, breach of contract leads inter alia to right of termination for obligee. but this has not always been the case. this study shows how european legal systems have moved from denial of right of termination for non-performance into recognition of a general rule concerning unilateral termination of breached contract. iranian legislature, inclined with the evolution o...

positivism is an empirical approach for understanding of human communication and phenomena, which raised firstly french famous thinker “august comte”. human and social sciences were under domination of positive thought for a long time. in criminal law inter alia italian famous thinkers sought to analyses the crime problem with a positive approach. however, some of their point of view such as bo...
