On the acoustic reality of “toneless” morphemes in Thai: Preliminary investigations from sequence-internal final particles by Ratanon Jiamsundutsadee

“…The results reveal that tonal FPs have significantly greater average rate of change values than toneless FPs, and that toneless FPs show more substantial variability in pitch range. Interestingly, cases such as Tone 2 and L% FPs do not pattern with the general trend in terms of rates of change; regardless, difference in pitch still functions as a cue to their distinction. …”

Global Dissipativity on Uncertain Discrete-Time Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays by Qiankun Song, Jinde Cao

“…The problems on global dissipativity and global exponential dissipativity are investigated for uncertain discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays and general activation functions. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and employing linear matrix inequality technique, several new delay-dependent criteria for checking the global dissipativity and global exponential dissipativity of the addressed neural networks are established in linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be checked numerically using the effective LMI toolbox in MATLAB. …”
