Perceptions Of Personality From Speech: Effects Of Manipulations Of Acoustical Parameters, Bruce L. Brown, William J. Strong, Alvin C. Rencher Jan 1973

Perceptions Of Personality From Speech: Effects Of Manipulations Of Acoustical Parameters, Bruce L. Brown, William J. Strong, Alvin C. Rencher

Faculty Publications

A speech analysis-synthesis system was used to manipulate variance of fundamental frequency and a mechanical rate changer was used to manipulate speech rate. The synthesized and altered voices were tested for realism. Synthesized voices were mistaken for normal 50% to 58% of the time and rate-changed voices were mistaken for normal 78% of the time. Additional studies were conducted to test the effects of these acoustical manipulations on the adjective ratings judges made of speakers. Variance of intonation was increased and decreased by 50% for eight speakers. There was a significantrend for increased intonation to cause voices to be rated …

Faculty Publications

Let W(t, ω) be the Wiener process on an abstract Wiener space (i, H, B) corresponding to the canonical normal distributions on H. Stochastic integrals (formula presented) and (formula presented) are defined for non-anticipating transformations f with values in B(B, B) such that (x(t, ω) — I)(B) B* and C with values in H. Suppose (formula presented), where u is a non-anticipating transformation with values in H. Let fit, x be a continuous function on R x B, continuously twice differentiable in the indirections with D2 f(t, x) e H) for the x variable and once differentiable for the t …

A brief history of the integration efforts of the school and the resulting interracial conflict is presented. From this background evolved the cross-cultural groups which are the focus of this paper. Essentially; discussion was used for exploring the issues which were identified as impediments to good relationships within the school; (1) too few black faculty and students; (2) the impact of "Tomism;" (3) geographic location of students' homes; (4) differing interests of black and white students; (5) the need for extra-school interracial contact; and (6) inhibitions; both social and parental; against interracial contact; especially dating.

The Specific Theory Of Academic Freedom And The General Issue Of Civil Liberty, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1972

The Specific Theory Of Academic Freedom And The General Issue Of Civil Liberty, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

Academic freedom has been blurred in law and in popular usage. Its clarification should enable the Supreme Court to grant it explicit protection under the Constitution as an identifiable subset of First Amendment freedoms. Its identification with the professional endeavors of faculty members, moreover, should reduce the tendency of institutions to intrude upon the aprofessional personal liberties of the faculty even while adequately protecting the extramural professional pursuits of the faculty and assuring them of equal protection in their interests as private citizens. Adjustments of standards by the American Association of University Professors, more definitely distinguishing the special accountability of …


Congress, The President, And The Power To Declare War: A Requiem For Vietnam, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1972

Congress, The President, And The Power To Declare War: A Requiem For Vietnam, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

Several arguments have been advanced in support of the President's authority to continue use of the Armed Forces in Vietnam without a congressional declaration of war as provided by the Constitution. Congressional ratification of the Southeast Asia Treaty and the Charter of the United Nations, as well as enactment of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, are often urged as constituting sufficient congressional authorization for the President's actions. Some have gone further and contended that congressional authorization was not a prerequisite in the Vietnam conflict because the President never exceeded his historically recognized authority to act unilaterally in defense of the …

Lattices With No Interval Homomorphisms, J. D. Lawson Jan 1970

Lattices With No Interval Homomorphisms, J. D. Lawson

Faculty Publications

This paper arose from the following analogous questions: (1) Does a distributive topological lattice on a continuum admit sufficiently many continuous lattice homomorphisms onto the unit interval to separate points, and (2) does a topological semilattice on a continuum admit sufficiently many continuous semilattice homomorphisms onto the unit interval to separate points? Earlier investigations of topological lattices and semilattices have provided partial positive solutions. However, examples of an infinite-dimensional distributive lattice and a one-dimensional semilattice which admit only trivial homomorphisms into the interval are presented in this paper. © 1970 Pacific Journal of Mathematics.

Electrochemical Reduction Of Chromate In The Presence Of Nickel Chloride In Molten Lithium Chloride-Potassium Chloride Eutectic, Branko N. Popov, H. A. Laitinen Jan 1970

Electrochemical Reduction Of Chromate In The Presence Of Nickel Chloride In Molten Lithium Chloride-Potassium Chloride Eutectic, Branko N. Popov, H. A. Laitinen

Faculty Publications

Chronopotentiometry of chromate in the presence of NiCl2 in molten LiCl-KCl eutectic reveals a diffusion controlled, three electron reduction step. In the presence of excess NiCl2, chromate is reduced at −0.35V vs. Pt(II)/Pt reference electrode and the electroactive species responsible for the chrono-potentiometric wave is estimated to have a diffusion coefficient of 1.06 · 10−5 cm2 sec−1 at 450°C. The stoichiometry of the reduction product depends mainly on the temperature at which the deposit is formed. At 500°C the deposit approaches the composition LiNi2CrO4. X-ray powder diffraction shows the deposit …

Survey Of Recent Developments In The North Carolina Law Of Eminent Domain, Dale A. Whitman Jan 1969

Survey Of Recent Developments In The North Carolina Law Of Eminent Domain, Dale A. Whitman

Faculty Publications

The recent opinions of the North Carolina appellate courts include a strikingly large proportion of eminent-domain cases. Two factors combine to explain the unusual frequency with which these cares are tried and appealed. The first is the elaborate activity of the federal government in funding local and state projects involving the acquisition of land. The Interstate Highway program probably accounts for the predominant portion of this activity, with other shares attributable to urban renewal, public housing, and airport improvement. When the more traditional activities of local government, such as street-widening and other public improvements, are added to the above list …
