The acoustic characteristics of clause, sentence and paragraph boundaries in Chinese Putonghua

The acoustic and perceptive characteristics of discourse units, including clauses, simple sentences, compound sentences and paragraphs, were studied. The acoustic characteristics were based on the analysis of a speech corpus consisted of ten monologues. The Perceived Boundary Strength (PBS) of the monologues was labeled on a five-point scale by 25 participants. The main results are as follows: (1) There is a significant difference in the PBS of clauses (corresponding to intonational phrase), sentences (including simple sentences and compound sentences) and paragraphs. But the PBS of simple sentences and compound sentences is the same, and the pitch reset and pause are also not significantly different between these two kinds of boundaries. (2) The pitch-based cue used to distinguish clauses, sentences and paragraphs appears to be the difference between pre- and post-boundary syllables, but not simply the pitch value of either syllable alone. (3) Declination mainly occurs within intonational phrases, whereas there is no consistent global declination in sentences or in paragraphs. (4) Pauses are longer and more varied at the boundary of larger discourse units. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between pause duration and degree of pitch reset at clause boundaries, but not at sentence or paragraph boundaries.

分布函数在容器壁上的取值以及由此引起的问题

普遍认为分布函数f在容器壁上的取值为零,如果情况确实如此,则平衡分布函数在容器壁上将不连续,从而会产生不合理的结果.分析指出了在证明H定理时不应假定f在容器壁上为零.     

B_2分子X~3Σ_g~-和A~3Σ_u~-态的势能函数

使用SAC/SAC-CI方法,利用D95(d),6-311g**以及cc-PVTZ等基组,对B2分子的基态(X3Σg-)和第一激发态(A3Σu-)的平衡结构和谐振频率进行了优化计算.通过对3个基组的计算结果的比较,得出了D95(d)基组为3个基组中的最优基组的结论;使用D95(d)基组,利用SAC的GSUM(Group Sum of Operators)方法对基态(X3Σg-),SAC-CI的GSUM方法对激发态(A3Σu-)进行单点能扫描计算,用正规方程组拟合Murrell-Sorbie函数,得到了相应电子态的完整势能函数;从得到的势能函数计算了与基态(X3Σg-)和第一激发态(A3Σu-)相对应的光谱常数(Be,αe,ωe和ωeχe),结果与实验数据吻合.     

哈密顿和哈密顿力学

 哈密顿其人哈密顿(WilliamRowanHamilton)是英国数学家、物理学家。1805年8月4日生于爱尔兰的都柏林,父亲是一位律师。少年时代母亲和父亲相继去世,他是在叔父的悉心照料下成长起来的,少年及青年时代,哈密顿没进过正规学校,但他从小天资过人,靠自学不仅掌握了12国语言,而且自修了数学。哈密顿12岁时已经读完了欧几里得的拉丁文《几何原本》,13岁即对牛顿的《自然科学与哲学原理》产生浓厚兴趣,开始研究牛顿和拉普拉斯的著作。17岁时,向爱尔兰皇家天文学会指出拉普拉斯《天体力学》中的数学错误,因为他发现了其中关于力的平行四边形法则的证明有误,令都柏林当时的天文学教授们大为震惊。     

A New Type of Terahertz Waveguides

A new type of THz waveguides, which employs a solid polyethylene rod as the core and polyethylene tubes in a periodic array of square lattice as the cladding, is proposed. Optical properties of this new THz waveguide, especially in dispersion, confinement loss and single mode property, are investigated in detail with the plane wave expansion method and the beam propagation method. Numerical results demonstrate that the new THz waveguide can reach not only low dispersion but also low confinement loss at single mode propagation. Therefore, the square lattice structure is a better candidate as THz waveguides than the triangular ones.

Q过程的不变分布(Ⅱ)

设E为一个可数集,Q=（qi,j;i,j∈E）为E×E上的矩阵,满足m为E上的概率分布满足何时存在Q过程,使得m是它的不变分布? 这个问题由Williams（1979）作为一个开问题提出.文[15]对全稳定情形,解决了这个问题;本文对单瞬时情形,完整地解决了该问题.
