Abstract Focusing on the impact of digital economy urban resilience is beneficial to sustainable development cities. This paper empirically examines economic and its mechanisms by measuring level with entropy-weighted TOPSIS method using data 252 Chinese cities from 2011 2020. The findings show that effectively promotes at 1% significance level, this conclusion remains valid after a series endogeneity robustness tests. channel mechanism suggests can improve optimizing distributional effects...
Significance Language processing is generally left hemisphere dominant. However, whether the interactions among typical hemispheric language regions differ across different languages largely unknown. An ideal method to address this question modeling cortical groups, but usually constrained by model space with prior hypothesis due massive computation demands. With cloud-computing, we used functional MRI dynamic causal analysis compare more than 4,000 models of dynamics critical in temporal...
Internet evolves and operates largely without a central coordination, the lack of which was is critically important to rapid growth evolution Internet. However, management in turn makes it very difficult guarantee proper performance deal systematically with problems. Meanwhile, available network bandwidth server capacity continue be overwhelmed by skyrocketing utilization accelerating intensive content. As result, service quality perceived customers unpredictable unsatisfactory. Content...
We study the onset and spreading of cascading failure on weighted heterogeneous networks by adopting a local flow redistribution rule, where weight tolerance node is correlated with its link degree k as kθ Ckθ, respectively. The parameter θ C are positive: θ>0 C>1.0. Assume that failed leads only to passing through it nearest-neighboring nodes. give our theoretical estimations for different values θ. also explore statistical characteristics avalanche size varying obtain versatile dynamical...
This study investigates the impact of intertalker variations on process mapping acoustic tone categories in two different languages.Pitch stimuli manipulated from four voice ranges were presented isolation through a blocked-talker design. Listeners instructed to identify that they heard as lexical tones their native language.Tone identification Mandarin listeners exhibited relatively stable normalization regardless voice, whereas Cantonese was unstable and susceptible influence variations....
To track the course of development in children's fine-grained perception Mandarin tones, present study explored how categorical (CP) tones emerges along age among 70 four- to seven-year-old children and 16 adults. Prominent discrimination peaks were found for both child adult groups, they well aligned with corresponding identification crossovers. Moreover, six-year-olds showed a much narrower width (i.e. sharper slope) compared younger children, have already acquired adult-like competence...
Context is important for recovering language information from talker-induced variability in acoustic signals. In tone perception, previous studies reported similar effects of speech and nonspeech contexts Mandarin, supporting a general perceptual mechanism underlying normalization. However, no supportive evidence was obtained Cantonese, also language. Moreover, study has compared the multi-talker condition, which essential exploring normalization inter-talker speaking F0. The other question...
Abstract This study investigates the categorical perception (CP) of pitch contours (level and rising) by native listeners two tone languages, Mandarin Cantonese, for both speech nonspeech. Language background was found to modulate participants' behavioural electrophysiological responses stimuli presented in an active oddball paradigm, comprising a standard equally spaced deviants (within- across-category). The were divided into sets according results two-alternative forced-choice...
The deficit in speech sound production some children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) adds to their communication barriers. 3-D virtual environments have been implemented improve abilities. However, there were no previous studies on the use of a pronunciation tutor designed specifically train for ASD. To fill this research gap, current study developed and evaluated which served as multimodal real-data-driven present both places manners Mandarin articulation. Using an eye-tracking...
