This paper explores the narration of Pushkin’s novel (in translation into English by James E. Falen) by Stephen Fry and Rafael Corkhill. The aim was to analyse the actors’ oral performance in terms of prosodic invariants as compared to the Russian original recited by two professional actors. An attempt was made to measure the ‘authenticity’ of the translation by application of cluster analysis....

Abstract: This paper investigates the usability of SriRamshalakha, a vedic tool used in Indian Astrology, in the encryption and decryption of plain English text. Sri Ram Shalaka appears in Sri RamChartmanas, one of the very popular sacred epic of Hindu religion, written by great Saint Tulsidasji. SriRamshalakha is used to fetch/infer the approximate answer of questions/decisions by the believer...

The paper examines a simple conceptual modification of the operation unit of a RISC processor. We propose to substitute a part of the conventional general purpose register file by a shift register for all operation results. The presented approach allows to reduce the instruction size for a great deal of instructions and so the instruction stream, and it is also a promising approach to make the ...

Three cases are presented to compare and contrast the radiographic findings in hydropneumothorax versus simple pleural effusion. The first case is of a 72-year-old man with metastatic colon cancer presenting with worsening shortness of breath. Post-thoracentesis chest radiographs (Fig 1) and CT (Fig 2) demonstrate a hydropneumothorax. The second case is of a 67 year-old male with non-small cell...

Bit swapping linear feedback shift register (BS-LFSR) is employed in a conventional linear feedback shirt register (LFSR) to reduce its power dissipation and enhance its performance. In this paper, an enhanced BS-LFSR for low power application is proposed. To achieve low power dissipation, the proposed BS-LFSR introduced the stacking technique to reduce leakage current. In addition, three diffe...

Methods Measurement in 24 adults comprised 8 minutes pre-baseline, 5 minutes recitation, 5 minutes recovery, 5 minutes recitation, and 20 minutes post-baseline. Measurements were performed for 3 different AST tasks [recitation of alliterative (RA), hexameter (RH), and prose (RP) verses] and a control task [mental arithmetic (MA) with voicing of the result] in a randomized crossover design. HRV ...

Large-eddy simulations (LES) of turbulent flow in a smoothwall pipe at Reynolds numbers based on the pipe Radius R and wall friction velocity in the range Reτ = 2,000−2,000,000 are discussed. Using a Reynolds number based on D and the bulkflow velocity, then corresponding values are ReD = 91,800 − 165,000,000. For the LES, the spectral-element code SEMTEX was used combined with the stretched-vo...
