1. A canoe voyage up the Minnay Sotor; with an account of the lead and copper deposits in Wisconsin; of the gold region in the Cherokee country; and skethes of popular manners; &c. &c. &c. Volume 1. By G. W. Featherstonhaugh: (in English) This detailed travelogue, the first part of a two-volume work written primarily for a British readership, discusses the United States' geological resources and offers critical observations about the manners and customs of its different peoples. It was written more than a decade after the author explored St. Peter's River--the "Minnay Sotor" of the book's title-- in 1835, and draws upon the journals he kept along the way. A Canoe Voyage (volume 1) deals with the first part of Featherstonhaugh's trip. He set forth from Georgetown, in Washington, D.C., along the canal paralleling the Potomac River. He then continued along the Allegheny ridges through western Maryland, over to Pittsburgh, and, after stopping at the Rappite community of Economy in Ohio and at Ravenna, made his way to Cleveland, where he journeyed by steam and sail to Detroit, Ft. Gratiot, Mackinac, and Green Bay. At Green Bay, he obtained supplies and voyageurs for an expedition into areas less familiar to Americans of European ancestry. He paddled by canoe up the Fox River to Fort Winnebago, portaged over to the Wisconsin River, changed to a north by northwest course on the Mississippi to Prairie du Chien, and paused at both Lake Pepin and Fort Snelling. At Fort Snelling, Featherstonhaugh proceeded up the Minnesota River, his major objective, via the Makotah River and Lac Qui Parle, until he reached the Minnesota's source on Coteau du Prairie. He then returned to Fort Snelling by way of Big Stone Lake. Much of his account is filled with the author's opinions about the voyageurs and various Native American groups such as the Winnebago, the Ojibway [Chippewa], the Menominee, and the Sioux [Dakota].

1. Earthquake Engineering Research Laboratory,; Strong motion earthquake accelerograms, digitized and plotted data, Volume I - uncorrected accelerograms; Part D - accelerograms ID056 through ID070: The first set of twenty uncorrected digitized earthquake accelerograms was published in July, 1969, as Volume I, Part A, of the present series. That volume also contained introductory material and background information describing the methods used, accuracies, etc., which should be referred to by all users of the data. The San Fernando Earthquake provided records of sufficient importance that the original plan was interrupted after two parts, and Part C contained the first of the San Fernando Earthquake accelerograms. This issue continues the San Fernando accelerograms and contains fifteen records consisting of three records each from four buildings, two ground level records at the Hollywood Storage Building and the record from the Old Ridge Route at Castaic. Some comments on these records follow. ID056. Castaic, Old Ridge Route. At 0.97 seconds after triggering the drive mechanism malfunctioned briefly and the film was stationary for a short length of time with the recording light on. The actual time is indicated by asterisks in the computer printout and by arrows in the computer plot. The lost portion of trace can be estimated to be one to two seconds long for the following reasons. The gap between the time marks is normally 0.5 seconds, but the particular gap spanning the missing part measures only 0.3 seconds. Hence at least 0.2 seconds is missing. In addition, at least one of the time marks occurred during the pause, so that the possible lengths of the pause are 0.7, 1.2, 1.7, 2.2, ... seconds. The maximum amplitudes of the missing traces can be ascertained from the thickness of the recorded vertical line for two of the three traces and these are less than the peak amplitudes occurring during the following one or two seconds. The changes in density along the recorded vertical line indicate that not a great many of the large oscillations of the trace took place during the pause and that a duration of 1.2 seconds is realistic. Also the records from the Lake Hughes Array Stations 4 and 12, within 26 km of Castaic, and a similar distance from the epicenter, 25-29km, indicate that the strong motion portion in this vicinity was only a few seconds in duration. These complete records show a marked similarity to that portion of the Castaic record outside the lost part, further confirming that not more than one or two seconds was lost. As another means of estimating the time lost, a laboratory test was made on the Castaic accelerograph in which the recording paper was held stationary for various time intervals with the recording light on, The intensities of the resulting traces were compatible with the above estimates. ID057, 58, Hollywood Storage Building, Basement and P. E, Lot. The total record length for the main shock is included. ID059, 60, 61, 1900 Avenue of the Stars, Subbasement, 9th and 21st Floors. The instrument on the 9th floor several times responded with a very high frequency, 80 - 100 cps, lightly damped oscillation, probably initiated by an impact loading on the structure near the instrument. Such impacts arise from dislodged material or equipment, or safety devices operating in elevator mechanisms. These were not digitized as part of the project. The instrument on the 21st floor operated for the same 58 - 60 seconds as the other two, but the first 11 seconds were not recorded. ID062, 63, 64. 1640 South Marengo Street, lst, 4th and 8th Floors. The 1st and 8th floor records were digitized to 54 seconds, by which time the first aftershocks had diminished. The 4th floor record was digitized to 98 seconds, for the total length of the record. ID065, 66, 67. 3710 Wilshire Blvd, Basement 5th and 10th Floors. The instrument on the 10th floor faces a different direction from the other two instruments and the component directions are therefore different. ID068, 69, 70. 7080 Hollywood Blvd., Basement 6th and 12th Floors. The total record length for the main shock is included. As in previous reports the printout and plots contain asterisks and arrows, respectively, indicating where the record was shifted in the digitizer. Two further reports (see References) have been issued at the California Institute of Technology describing the San Fernando Earthquake. "The Engineering Features of the San Fernando Earthquake, February 9, 1971" contains preliminary studies of some of the more important and interesting engineering features of the earthquake. The various chapters were prepared by staff and students working in Earthquake Engineering within the Division of Engineering and Applied Science. "Strong Motion Instrumental Data on the San Fernando Earthquake of February 9, 1971", a joint report with the Seismological Field Survey of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U. S. Department of Commerce, presents an overall picture of the instrumentation results, updating and bringing together a number of preliminary reports issued by both the Earthquake Engineering Research Laboratory and the Seismological Field Survey. An account is given there of the performance of the Southern California strong motion networks, including the seismoscope results. Both of these reports are available from the National Information Service for Earthquake Engineering at the California Institute of Technology. We should like once again to express our gratitude to personnel from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory who earlier assisted so capably on the digitizing, and to our regular digitizers and assistants, students and otherwise, for their conscientious work. We would like to acknowledge the general support of the Earthquake Research Affiliates, the generous grants from the National Science Foundation and the cooperation of the Seismological Field Survey of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

1. Zellner, Brigitte; Pauses and the temporal structure of speech: Natural-sounding speech synthesis requires close control over the temporal structure of the speech flow. This includes a full predictive scheme for the durational structure and in particuliar the prolongation of final syllables of lexemes as well as for the pausal structure in the utterance. In this chapter, a description of the temporal structure and the summary of the numerous factors that modify it are presented. In the second part, predictive schemes for the temporal structure of speech ("performance structures") are introduced, and their potential for characterising the overall prosodic structure of speech is demonstrated.

2. Castelhano, Monica S., Muter, Paul; Optimizing the reading of electronic text using rapid serial visual presentation: The focus on communications technology in recent years has led to the question of how to best display electronic text onto small-screened devices. Past studies have shown that the compact method of Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) is efficient but not well liked. Two experiments were conducted to explore ways of improving the preference for and feasibility of RSVP. In Experiment 1, the effects of a completion meter, punctuation pauses, and variable word duration were studied. Although the Normal Page and Sentence-by Sentence formats were still superior, post-experiment ratings indicated that punctuation pauses improved user preference, and preference for RSVP in general increased with practice. In Experiment 2, a modified RSVP condition included a completion meter, punctuation pauses, interruption pauses, and pauses at clause boundaries. This condition was significantly preferred to a normal RSVP condition. The present enhancements may increase the feasibility of using RSVP with small displays.

3. Ungar, Simon, Blades, Mark, Spencer, Christopher; Mental rotation of a tactile layout by young visually impaired children: Mental rotation tasks have been used to probe the mental imagery of both sighted and visually impaired people. People who have been blind since birth display a response pattern which is qualitatively similar to that of sighted people but tend to respond more slowly or with a higher error rate. It has been suggested that visually impaired people code the stimulus and its (or their own) motion in a different way from sighted people - in particular, congenitally blind people may ignore the external reference framework provided by the stimulus and surrounding objects, and instead use body-centred or movement-based coding systems. What has not been considered before is the relationship between different strategies for tactually exploring the stimulus and the response pattern of congenitally blind participants. Congenitally blind and partially sighted children were tested for their ability to learn and recall a layout of tactile symbols. Children explored layouts of one, three or five shapes which they then attempted to reproduce. On half the trials there was a short pause between exploring and reproducing the layouts. In an aligned condition children reproduced the array from the same position at which they had explored it; in a rotated condition children were asked to move 90˚ round the table between exploring and reproducing the layout. Both congenitally blind and partially sighted children were less accurate in the rotated condition than in the aligned condition. Five distinct strategies used by the children in learning the layout were identified. These strategies interacted with both visual status and age. We suggest that the use of strategies, rather than visual status or chronological age, accounts for differences in performance between children. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.72)

1. Choi, Charles; The Influence of Imagined Interactions on Verbal Fluency: (in English) Imagined interactions (IIs) are a type of social cognition and mental imagery whereby actors imagine an interaction with others for the purposes of planning. Within actual encounters, verbal fluency is a characteristic that contributes to the speakers credibility. The planning that takes place through imagined dialogues can help a speaker overcome disfluency found in speech. This study shows that improvements in speaking style are also dependent upon the trait of communication apprehension that an individual experiences. Visualization can decrease apprehension levels, thus producing higher verbal fluency. Results from this study indicate plannings influence in the reduction of silent pauses but not vocalized pauses. Finally, the complexity of ones imagined dialogue has been found to play a role in an increase of verbal fluency. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.89)

1. Goldberg, L.A., Kelk, S., Paterson, M.; The complexity of choosing an H-colouring (nearly) uniformly at random: Cooper, Dyer and Frieze studied the problem of sampling H-colourings (nearly) uniformly at random. They considered the family of "cautious" ergodic Markov chains with uniform stationary distribution and showed that, for every fixed connected "nontrivial" graph H, every such chain mixes slowly. In this paper, we give a complexity result for the problem. Namely, we show that for any fixed graph H with no trivial components, there is unlikely to be any Polynomial Almost Uniform Sampler (PAUS) for H-colourings. We show that if there were a PAUS for the H-colouring problem, there would also be a PAUS for sampling independent sets in bipartite graphs and, by the self-reducibility of the latter problem, there would be a Fully-Polynomial Randomised Approximation Scheme (FPRAS) for #BIS - the problem of counting independent sets in bipartite graphs. Dyer, Goldberg, Greenhill and Jerrum have shown that #BIS is complete in a certain logically-defined complexity class. Thus, a PAUS for sampling H-colourings would give an FPRAS for the entire complexity class. In order to achieve our result we introduce the new notion of sampling-preserving reduction which seems to be more useful in certain settings than approximation-preserving reduction. [Text] (3.80)

2. Liu,Xiaowen, Owen,Charles B., Makedon,Fillia; Automatic Video Pause Detection Filter: Increasing interest in multimedia research has been drawn upon the development of video indexing and content-based image retrieval techniques. In this report, we proposed several pause detection algorithms, which instead of searching for significant visual transitions, the algorithms detect significant pauses in video streams. A realization of the algorithms was implemented using ImageTcl toolkit developed at Dartmouth Experimental Visualization Laboratory. In addition to proposing and studying the effectiveness of the pause detection algorithms, another major goal will be to incorporate our algorithms into ImageTcl and test the stability and applicability of the ImageTcl environment. Priliminary experiments showed relatively good results of our pause detection algorithms. [Text] (3.13)

3. Blau, Ricki; Paging on an Object-oriented Personal Computer for Smalltalk: a high-performance personal computing environment must avoid perceptible pauses resulting form many page faults within a short period of time. Our performance goals for a paged virtual memory system for the Smalltalk-80 programming environment are both to decrease the average page fault rate and to minimize the pauses caused by clusters of page faults. We have applied program restructuring techniques to the Smalltalk-80 object memory in order to improve the locality of reference. The analysis in this paper considers the clustering of page faults over time and distinguishes between steady-state behavior and phase transitions. We compare the effectiveness of different restructuring strategies in reducing the amount of main memory needed to obtain desired levels of performance. [Text] (2.25)

Verbesserung von existierenden Storgerauschunterdruckungsalgorithmen fur digitale Horgerate sowie von Methoden zur Evaluation derartiger Algorithmen. Ein Sprachpausenerkennungsalgorithmus wird entwickelt, der eine geringe Falsch-Alarm-Rate uber einen grossen Bereich an Signal-Rausch-Verhaltnissen aufweist. Dies erlaubt eine Anwendung zur Schatzung von Storgerauschspektren. Es werden umfangreiche Evaluationen der Ephraim-Malah-Storgerauschunterdruckungsalgorithmen mit schwerhorigen Versuchspersonen vorgestellt. Zur Erfassung der Zuhoranstrengung wird ein neuartiges Testverfahren angewendet. Verschiedene weitere Qualitatsaspekte werden durch Paarvergleichsexperimente mit anschliessender Bradley-Terry-Skalierung untersucht. Verschiedene 'objektive' Sprachqualitatsmasse werden auf ihre Fahigkeit hin uberpruft, die subjektiven Qualitatsurteile widerzuspiegeln. Die Sprachqualitatsmasse PMF und LAR erweisen sich dabei als erfolgreich. The aim of this thesis is to improve both the assessment methods and the available algorithms for noise reduction in hearing aids. A speech pause detection algorithm is proposed which maintains a low false-alarm rate over a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios. This facilitates its application for noise estimation in noise reduction algorithms. Comprehensive evaluations of the Ephraim-Malah noise reduction algorithms with hearing-impaired subjects show that besides better 'sound quality', most obvious benefits are reductions in the mental effort needed to listen to speech in noise. To assess this feature, a listening effort test is developed. For further subjective quality assessment of the algorithms, the method of paired comparisons in combination with the Bradley-Terry scaling model is suggested and applied. The predictive power of several 'objective' speech quality measures is investigated. Particularly the PMF and LAR objective quality measures reflect different subjective results. [Text] (0.38)

1. Grippo, mark; The Effect of Mercury on the Feeding Behavior of Fathead Minnows (Pimephales promelas): Dr. Paul Angermeier, Dr. Alan Heath, Dr,. Thomas A. Jenssen; (in English) Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) were exposed to mercury (1.69, 6.79, and 13. 57 µg/l HgCl2; 10 d exposure) and afterwards tested using various metrics of foraging ability while feeding in a vegetated habitat. Among the foraging metrics were foraging efficiency, capture speed, and the ability to learn and retain information regarding habitat characteristics. Comparisons with control fish and fish from the two highest exposure groups revealed consistent performance deficits in foraging efficiency and capture speed. However, no treatment effects on learning were detected. In determining the underlying proximate cause of the foraging deficits, it is believed that the greater pause time exhibited by treatment fish while foraging was the main cause of treatment differences. In the future, behavioral studies will continue to allow toxicity testing of environmentally relevant variables such as those used by behavioral ecologists. Such tests, when combined with tests of field collected specimens, could prove powerful in linking laboratory toxicity to toxicity in wild populations. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.83)
