Phonetic and prosodic analysis of speech

In order to cope with the problems of spontaneous speech (including, for example, hesitations and non-words) it is necessary to extract from the speech signal all information it contains. Modeling of words by segmental units should be supported by suprasegmental units since valuable information is represented in the prosody of an utterance. We present an approach to flexible and efficient modeling of speech by segmental units and describe extraction and use of suprasegmental information

A Model of User Preferences for Semantic Services Discovery and Ranking

Current proposals on Semantic Web Services discovery and ranking are based on user preferences descriptions that often come with insufficient expressiveness, consequently making more difficult or even preventing the description of complex user desires. There is a lack of a general and comprehensive preference model, so discovery and ranking proposals have to provide ad hoc preference descriptions whose expressiveness depends on the facilities provided by the corresponding technique, resulting in user preferences that are tightly coupled with the underlying formalism being used by each concrete solution. In order to overcome these problems, in this paper an abstract and sufficiently expressive model for defining preferences is presented, so that they may be described in an intuitively and user-friendly manner. The proposed model is based on a well-known query preference model from database systems, which provides highly expressive constructors to describe and compose user preferences semantically. Furthermore, the presented proposal is independent from the concrete discovery and ranking engines selected, and may be used to extend current Semantic Web Service frameworks, such as wsmo, sawsdl, or owl-s. In this paper, the presented model is also validated against a complex discovery and ranking scenario, and a concrete implementation of the model in wsmo is outlined.Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología TIN2006-00472Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología TIN2009-07366Junta de Andalucía TIC-253

Горизонтальные классификаторы. Основы теории и расчета: моногр.

Приведены технологические схемы получения строительных песков при гидромеханизированной добыче, основные конструктивные схемы классификаторов, используемых при получении строительных песков. Особое внимание уделено изучению процесса взаимодействия проточной части горизонтального классификатора с совокупностью твердых частиц, расположенных в горизонтальном ускоренном потоке несущей среды. Выполнено математическое моделирование ускоренного движения горизонтального потока и твердых частиц в пределах разнонаклонных поверхностей горизонтального классификатора. Экспериментально изучено гравитационное осаждение твердых частиц, рассмотренное в виде вертикальной и горизонтальной составляющих, а также влияние стесненности движения и перемещения твердых частиц относительно несущего горизонтального потока. Приведена методика расчета и выбора параметров классификаторов, информация об опыте проектирования и внедрения горизонтальных классификаторов в составе добычных комплексов при освоении обводненных месторождений песков. Монография может быть полезна студентам, инженерно-техническим работникам, сотрудникам высших учебных заведений, научно-исследовательских институтов и проектных организаций горной промышленности

All-sky Search for High-Energy Neutrinos from Gravitational Wave Event GW170104 with the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope

Advanced LIGO detected a significant gravitational wave signal (GW170104) originating from the coalescence of two black holes during the second observation run on January 4$^{\textrm{th}}$, 2017. An all-sky high-energy neutrino follow-up search has been made using data from the ANTARES neutrino telescope, including both upgoing and downgoing events in two separate analyses. No neutrino candidates were found within $\pm500$ s around the GW event time nor any time clustering of events over an extended time window of $\pm3$ months. The non-detection is used to constrain isotropic-equivalent high-energy neutrino emission from GW170104 to less than $\sim4\times 10^{54}$ erg for a $E^{-2}$ spectrum
