Synthetic Corpora: A Synergy Of Linguistics And Computer Animation, Jerry C. Schnepp, Rosalee Wolfe, John Mcdonald May 2010

Synthetic Corpora: A Synergy Of Linguistics And Computer Animation, Jerry C. Schnepp, Rosalee Wolfe, John Mcdonald

Visual Communications and Technology Education Faculty Publications

Synthetic corpora enable the creation of computer-generated animations depicting sign language and are the complement of corpora containing videotaped exemplars. Any design for a synthetic corpus needs to accommodate linguistic processes as well as support the generation of believable, acceptable synthesized utterances. This paper explores one possibility for representing linguistic and extralinguistic processes that involve the face and reports on the outcomes of a user test evaluating the clarity of utterances synthesized by this approach.

Risk Of Drowning: The "Iceberg Phenomenon" Re-Visited, Kevin Moran May 2010

Risk Of Drowning: The "Iceberg Phenomenon" Re-Visited, Kevin Moran

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Three decades ago, Schuman and colleagues (1977) used the visual metaphor of an iceberg whose underwater base contained a substantial layer of self-reported incidents that posed a serious threat to life so as to illustrate the true extent of the risk of drowning. This present study uses the iceberg metaphor to explore the magnitude of that risk among youth. In addition to describing the fatal and non-fatal drowning incidents at the visual tip of the iceberg, the study presents data from surf rescue records and survey data on exposure to risk and incidence of a life-threatening submersion experience. Most youth …


The Effects Of Strength Training In Hydrogymnastics For Middle-Age Women, Anelise Bueno Ambrosini, Michel Arias Brentano, Marcelo Coertjens, Luiz Fernando Martins Kruel May 2010

The Effects Of Strength Training In Hydrogymnastics For Middle-Age Women, Anelise Bueno Ambrosini, Michel Arias Brentano, Marcelo Coertjens, Luiz Fernando Martins Kruel

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

This study analyzed the effects of different strength training protocols carried out in hydrogymnastics workouts on the maximal strength of the shoulder horizontal flexors (SHF), shoulder horizontal extensors (SHE), and hip extensors (HE) muscles. Fifty-two women (ages 50.4 ± 14.15 years) were divided into two groups: hydrogymnastics with strength training without resistive equipment (HS) and hydrogymnastics with strength training using resistive equipment (HSE). The training lasted 12 weeks (2x a week) and the intensity was selected using Borg’s rating of perceived exertion scale for both groups. After 12 weeks of training, both groups showed an increase in maximal strength of …


Hollywood Stars’ Involvement In Aquatics And Water Safety, Stathis Avramidis May 2010

Hollywood Stars’ Involvement In Aquatics And Water Safety, Stathis Avramidis

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

The aim of this educational review article was to identify cases of Hollywood stars who have been involved in aquatics. A literature search was conducted using the terms ‘drowning’, ‘Hollywood’, ‘actor’, rescue’, ‘aquatics’, ‘swimming’ and ‘lifeguard’. It was found that several Hollywood film stars (n = 33; males = 20, females = 13) have worked as lifeguards (n = 12), performed lifeguard rescues (n = 2), or lifesaving rescues (n = 4), were aquatics athletes (n = 6), or suffered drown-related incidents (n = 9). A brief overview of those actors and their involvement in aquatics is presented.

Ready Reference Collections: A History, Carol A. Singer Apr 2010

Ready Reference Collections: A History, Carol A. Singer

University Libraries Faculty Publications

Ready reference collections were originally formed, and still exist, because they perform a valuable function in providing convenient access to information that is frequently used at the reference desk. As library collections have been transformed from print to electronic, some of the materials in these collections have inevitably also been replaced by electronic resources. This article explores the historical roots of ready reference collections and their recent evolution.


Ultrafast Carrier Dynamics In Type Ii Znse/Cds/Znse Nanobarbells, Nishshanka N. Hewa-Kasakarage, Patrick Z. El-Khoury, Alexander N. Tarnovsky, Maria Kirsanova, Ian Nemitz, Alexander Nemchinov, Mikhail Zamkov Apr 2010

Ultrafast Carrier Dynamics In Type Ii Znse/Cds/Znse Nanobarbells, Nishshanka N. Hewa-Kasakarage, Patrick Z. El-Khoury, Alexander N. Tarnovsky, Maria Kirsanova, Ian Nemitz, Alexander Nemchinov, Mikhail Zamkov

Chemistry Faculty Publications

We employ femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to get an insight into ultrafast processes occurring at the interface of type II ZnSe/CdS heterostructured nimocrystals fabricated via colloidal routes and comprising a barbell-like arrangement of ZnSe tips and CdS nanorods. Our study shows that resonant excitation of ZnSe tips results in an unprecedently fast transfer of excited Electrons into CdS domains of nanobarbells (<0.35 ps), whereas selective pumping of CdS components loads to a relatively slow injection of photoinduced holes into ZnSe tips (tau(h) = 95 ps). A qualitative thermodynamic description of observed electron processes within the classical limit of Marcus theory was used to identify a specific charge transfer regime associated with the ultrafast electron injection into CdS. Potential photocatalytic applications of the observed fast separation of carriers along the main axis of ZnSe/CdS barbells are discussed.
