The paper assesses the consequences of gradience for approaches to variation based on the Principles and Parameters model. In particular, the discussion focuses on recent crosslinguistic results obtained through magnitude estimation, a methodology particularly suited to the study of gradient

This technical report describes a theoretical and experimental in-vestigation of factors affecting the performance of toroidal inductors with ferrite cores and windings of coaxial cable. Design procedures are developed and described for toroidal cable chokes which provide a specified minimum amount of rf isolation over a band of frequencies. It is shown how one may maximize the width of the frequency band for a given rf isolation impedance. In fact it is shown that the entire band, from 2 to 30 Mc, may be covered by a set of only three individual cable chokes, providing an rf isolation of better than 5,000 ohms. s I ii ttk. i..A »iTii. a law

The purpose of this chapter is to compare the properties of negative concord (NC) in various French-related dialects to analyze better the factors that condition and limit observed micro-parametric variations. We examine both synchronic and diachronic Standard French (SF) in relation to Quebec

Microfluidic biochips require continued online test to ensure their functionality, performance, and reliability in the presence of runtime parametric variation and system wear-out. Previous techniques locate catastrophic defects which guide subsequent droplet scheduling and routing procedures

We prove isoperimetric inequalities for general parametric variational double integrals F, whose Lagrangians F depend on the position vector X and on the surface normal N. As an essential tool we introduce Sauvigny’s F-conformal parameters adapted to the parametric integrand and use the notion

Several parametric representations of the acoustic signal were compared as to word recognition performance in a syllable-oriented continuous speech recognition system. The vocabulary in-cluded many phonetically similar monosyllabic words, therefore the emphasis was on ability to retain

Abstract. This paper gives an introduction to the formulation of parametrized variational principles (PVPs) in mechanics. This is complemented by more advanced material describing selected recent developments in hybrid and nonlinear variational principles. A PVP is a variational principle

Statistical perturbations of process parameters maychange propagation delays and alter the switching activityinthe circuit due to glitches. In this paper, the problem of estimating glitch#hazard power in CMOS circuits is addressed. A probabilistic min#max delay model is used, where the variation

In this paper the regularity of one-parametric optimization problems in the sense of Jongen, Jonker and Twilt is extended to one-parametric variational inequalities. The five singularities are defined in this context and suitable indices are described around them. Many of the local properties
