In this work, we propose a novel re-sampling method based on word lattice information and we use prosodic cues with support vector machines for classification. The idea is to consider word recognition as a two-class ...

Two competing hypotheses have been suggested to explain thermal sensitivity of lizards to environmental conditions. These are the static and the labile hypotheses. The static hypothesis posits that thermal physiology is ...

Understanding how animals interact with their environment is critical for evaluating, mitigating and coping with anthropogenic alteration of Earth's biosphere. Researchers have attempted to understand some aspects of these ...

Hypotheses and predictions are the core of scientific research, and are fundamentally different. Nonetheless, predictions are constantly confused with hypotheses in the scientific literature. The hypothetic-deductive method ...

The only way to test hypotheses is by evaluating their consequences. Since a hypothesis is an explanation of how nature works, it can be tested through the formulation of outcomes expected assuming the proposed hypothesis ...

The theory of random graphs has been applied in recent years to model neural interactions in the brain. While the probabilistic properties of random graphs has been extensively studied, the development of statistical ...

This paper is devoted to the semilocal convergence, using centered hypotheses, of a third order Newton-type method in a Banach space setting. The method is free of bilinear operators and then interesting for the solution ...
