Failure to address extreme environments constraints at the human-computer interaction level may lead to the commission of critical and potentially fatal errors. This experimental study addresses gaps in our current theoretical understanding of the impact of±Gz accelerations and field dependency independency on task performance in human-computer interaction. It investigates the effects of ±Gz ac...

A fundamental task of the cognitive system is to prioritize behaviourally relevant sensory inputs for processing at the expense of irrelevant inputs. In a study of neurotypical participants (n = 179), we utilized a brief flanker interference task while varying the perceptual load of the visual display. Typically, increasing perceptual load (i.e., with greater numbers of search items) reduces in...

The present study required raters (casting directors) to evaluate the belt voice quality of 20 musical theater majors who were proficient in the singing style referred to as belting. Two specified vocalizes and six short excerpts from the belting repertoire were used for rating purposes. The raters were asked to judge the belters on a set of seven perceptual parameters (loudness, vibrato, ring,...

Human pose estimation (HPE) is a central part of understanding the visual narration and body movements characters depicted in artwork collections, such as Greek vase paintings. Unfortunately, existing HPE methods do not generalise well across domains resulting poorly recognised poses. Therefore, we propose two step approach: (1) adapting dataset natural images known person annotations to style ...

This study investigated the productive vocabulary of EFL learners divided into two groups: multimodal (preference for or three perceptual learning styles) and unimodal one style). The objectives this research were twofold: (1) to identify learners; (2) ascertain whether there statistically significant differences between preferences (multimodality unimodality). sample consisted 60 Spanish (24 3...

The paper presents a comparative study of music features derived from audio recordings, i.e. the same pieces but representing different genres, excerpts performed by musicians, and songs musician, whose style evolved over time. Firstly, origin background division genres were shortly presented. Then, several objective parameters an signal recalled that have easy interpretation in context percept...

Learning style is a very important element in teaching and learning process has an impact on intrinsic motivation especially among students. An appropriate correct the main factor to ensure that students continue excel are confident process. This correlational survey study seeks test association between of civil engineering for building works measurement course. The objective this ascertain if ...

Performance deficiencies and inconsistencies among SLA or FL learners can be attributed to variety of sources including both systemic (i.e., language issues) and individual variables.  Contrary to a rich background, the literature still suffers from a gap as far as delving into the issue from language proficiency and learning style is concerned. To fill the gap, this study addressed EFL learner...

Speech synthesis techniques have already reached a high level of naturalness. However, they are often evaluated on text reading tasks. New applications will request for conversational speech instead and disfluencies are crucial in such a style. The present paper presents a system to predict filled pauses and synthesise them. Objective results show that they can be inserted with 96% precision an...
