Jamming and percolation transitions in the standard random sequential adsorption of particles on regular lattices are characterized by a universal set of critical exponents. The universality class is preserved even in the presence of…
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of language varieties on the spectral distribution of stressed and unstressed sonorants (nasals /m, n/, lateral approximants /l/, and rhotics /r/) and on their coarticulatory effects on…
This text is a compilation of some of the notes that the author has written during the development of the low-order model "DICO" [2, 8, 10, 11] for vowel phonation and the even more rudimentary glottal flow model [9] for processing…
We develop a model for the stability and maintenance of phonological categories. Examples of phonological categories are vowel sounds such as "i" and "e". We model such categories as consisting of collections of labeled exemplars that…
Ranking functions in information retrieval are often used in search engines to recommend the relevant answers to the query. This paper makes use of this notion of information retrieval and applies onto the problem domain of cognate…
We study phonon-mediated pairings in a single-flavor metal with a tunable Berry curvature. In the absence of Berry curvature, we discover an unexpected possibility: $p$-wave superconductivity emerging purely from the retardation effect,…
This paper extends the fibrational approach to induction and coinduction pioneered by Hermida and Jacobs, and developed by the current authors, in two key directions. First, we present a dual to the sound induction rule for inductive types…
We prove that the category of continuous lattices and meet- and directed join-preserving maps is dually equivalent, via the hom functor to $[0,1]$, to the category of complete Archimedean meet-semilattices equipped with a finite…
Detection of transitions between broad phonetic classes in a speech signal is an important problem which has applications such as landmark detection and segmentation. The proposed hierarchical method detects silence to non-silence…
This paper presents BemaGANv2, an advanced GAN-based vocoder designed for high-fidelity and long-term audio generation, with a focus on systematic evaluation of discriminator combination strategies. Long-term audio generation is critical…
Let $\Diffeo=\Diffeo(\R)$ denote the group of infinitely-differentiable diffeomorphisms of the real line $\R$, under the operation of composition, and let $\Diffeo^+$ be the subgroup of diffeomorphisms of degree +1, i.e.…
Voiced speech signals such as continuous speech are known to have acoustic features such as pitch(F0), and formant frequencies(F1, F2, F3) which can be used for gender classification. However, gender classification studies using non-speech…
The question of macroscopic occupation and spontaneous emergence of coherence for exciton ensembles has gained renewed attention due to the rise of van der Waals heterostructures made of atomically thin semiconductors. The hosted interlayer…
Intuitionistic grammar logics fuse constructive and multi-modal reasoning while permitting the use of converse modalities, serving as a generalization of standard intuitionistic modal logics. In this paper, we provide definitions of these…
We study SU(2) lattice gauge theory at non-zero chemical potential with one staggered quark flavor in the adjoint representation. In this model the fermion determinant, although real, can be both positive and negative. We have performed…
It has been proposed that the order in which words are prepared for production depends on the speaker's language. When producing the translation equivalent of the small cat, speakers of German or Dutch select the gender-marked determiner at…
Let $G$ be a supersolvable group and $A$ be a conjugacy class of $G$. Observe that for some integer $\eta(AA^{-1})>0$, $AA^{-1}=\{a b^{-1}\mid a,b\in A\}$ is the union of $\eta(AA^{-1})$ distinct conjugacy classes of $G$. Set ${\bf…
Infant vocal babbling strongly relies on jaw oscillations, especially at the stage of canonical babbling, which underlies the syllabic structure of world languages. In this paper, we propose, model and analyze an hypothesis to explain this…
Formulas are derived for the coupled quadrupolar and monopolar oscillations of a fermion condensate trapped in a axially symmetric harmonic potential. We consider two-component condensates with a large particle-particle scattering length…
The articulatory-acoustic relationship is many-to-one and non linear and this is a great limitation for studying speech production. A simplification is proposed to set a bijection between the vowel space (f1, f2) and the parametric space of…
