Electromagnetic articulography (EMA) is one of the instrumental phonetic research methods used for recording and assessing articulatory movements. Usually, articulographic data are analysed together with standard audio recordings. This paper, however, demonstrates how coupling the articulograph with …

In our time, professions are passed on form father to child less and less, and some professions related to craftsmanship are disappearing, being replaced by industrial production. I come from a family of wooden artisan, and I witness what happened to my grandfather when he could not work anymore: deprived …

Reversed-phase HPLC with mass spectrometric and diode array detection as well as some literature data were used to reveal the individual types of solutes in anthocyanin complexes of tulip flower petals that are responsible for tulip flower petals coloration of the samples available in the local flower …

The objective of this study was to introduce a new iterative method to reconstruct multi leaf collimator (MLC) positions based on low resolution ionization detector array measurements and to evaluate its error detection performance. The iterative reconstruction method consists of a fluence model, a detector …

Gentle stroking touches are rated most pleasant when applied at a velocity of between 1–10 cm/s. Such touches are considered highly relevant in social interactions. Here, we investigate whether stroking sensations generated by a vibrotactile array can produce similar pleasantness responses, with the …

A program that automatically detects auroral events in all-sky images taken by the all-sky camera of IRF has been written. Current programs that automatically detect the aurora in all-sky images using the RGB color system often miss strong aurora and sometimes interprets clouds as aurora. To improve …

Constructed wetlands are one type of Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) that have been used for decades in The Netherlands. They provide stormwater conveyance and improve stormwater quality. European regulations for water quality dictate lower and lower concentrations for an array of dissolved …

The effect of an elevated sample temperature on the growth rate of carbon in the holes of a Multiple Aperture Array (MAA) has been examined. The loss of transmitted electrons through the MAA was measured by taking pictures with a camera of an Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) scintillation crystal. The growth …
