Low power Electromagnetic (EM) Wave sensors can measure general properties of human speech articulator motions, as speech is produced. See Holzrichter, Burnett, Ng, and Lea, J.Acoust.Soc.Am. 103 (1) 622 (1998). Experiments have demonstrated extremely accurate pitch measurements (< 1 Hz per pitch cycle) and accurate onset of voiced speech. Recent measurements of pressure-induced tracheal motions...

The composition of isolated natural organic matter (NOM) fractions was studied by means of high pressure size-exclusion chromatography (HP-SEC), specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) at 254 nm, total luminescence spectroscopy (TLS) and synchronous scanning fluorescence measurements. The HPSEC, SUVA and TLS studies revealed that humic acids (HA) and hydrophobic acids (HOA) are composed of compl...

In this paper a new approach based on the Least Squares Error method for estimating the unknown parameters of the 3 order nonlinear model of synchronous generators is presented. The proposed approach uses the mathematical relationships between the machine parameters and on-line input/output measurements to estimate the parameters of the nonlinear state space model. The field voltage is consider...

second primary malignancy following multiple myeloma (mm) was reported several years ago. there are also rare reports of cases with synchronous mm and other malignancies. to our knowledge, only one case of mm following bladder cancer has been reported in the literature. here, we report the second case occurred three months after diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Collecting and analyzing data lies at the basis of the scientific method: findings about nature usher new ideas, and experimental results support or refute theories. All this is not very prevalent in computer science, possibly due to the fact that computer systems are man made, and not perceived as a natural phenomenon. But computer systems and their interactions with their users are actually c...

This paper analyzes an induction motor with high temperature superconducter (HTS) coated slotted solid rotor. By slotting the solid rotor, the electromagnetic torque near synchronous speed will increase but the starting torque will decrease. To improve starting torque, rotor slots are coated with HTS materials. Using HTS material vary the rotor resistance to great extends in starting step and t...
