In recent years there has been a surge of interest in speech rhythm. However we still lack a clear understanding of the nature of rhythm and rhythmic differences across languages. Various metrics have been proposed as means for measuring rhythm on the phonetic level and making typological comparisons between languages (Ramus et al, 1999; Grabe &

Aim of the study: The present study was aimed to investigate the anti-diabetic potential of the leaves of Tetracera scandens Linn. Merr. (Dilleniaceae) in vivo with regard to prove its efficacy by local herbalists in the treatment of diabetes frailties. Materials and methods: Crude aqueous (AQ) and methanol (MEOH) extracts of the leaves of T. scand

Water quality modelling is an important tool used in various water quality management proceedings throughout the world. There are many types of models available, both commercially and as freeware for application in various hydrologic environments. The accuracy of a model in representing the myriad of physico- chemical and biological processes is en

The measurement of fatigue damage in adhesive bonding has been investigated. Bulk adhesive was used in this study for two reasons: the stress distribution of adhesives in bulk is simpler to investigate than adhesives in joints; and the specimen dimensions met fatigue test standards. Bulk adhesive was made from a film type of epoxy resin. In general

Chip morphology and segmentation play a predominant role in determining machinability and chatter during the machining of different materials. At lower cutting speeds the chip is often discontinuous, while it becomes serrated as the cutting speeds are increased. It has been identified that the chip formation process has a discrete nature, associate

The construction of a geometric model in Computer Aided Geometrical Design (CAGD) with uncertain data points are difficult and challenging. In this paper, the construction of a fuzzy B-spline model as a mathematical representation for the curve of uncertain data using fuzzy control points and deffuzified control points is discussed. Cubic fuzzy B-s

Design, development and simulation results of an interdigitated metal-fingers capacitors in 0.18 #x03BC;m RF-CMOS technology that are exploiting both lateral and vertical metal-metal capacitances are presented. Two RF-CMOS capacitors are designed specifically for applications in a 2.45GHz power splitter circuit. Five metal RF-CMOS layers are used t

Nominal characteristic trajectory following (NCTF) controller, which consists of an nominal characteristic trajectory (NCT) and a compensator, is a practical controller since its design is only based on a very simple open-loop experiment. The objective of the compensator in NCTF controller is to make an object motion follows the NCT and to end the

Inter-religious dialogue has been among the crucial issues since the early 20th century. Seminars and conferences on this issue have been conducted with the special agenda to embark on serious ways for building mutual understanding between the followers of different religions. Now, inter-religious dialogue has become more important as religion has
