This paper presents a new technique for synthesizing visual speech from arbitrarily given text. The is based on an algorithm parameter generation HMM with dynamic features, which has been successfully applied to text-to-speech synthesis. In the training phase, syllable HMMs are trained sequences that represent lip movements. synthesis sentence constructed by concatenating corresponding phonetic transcription input Then optimum sequence generated in ML sense. proposed can generate...
On July 22, 2020, the Japanese government launched "Go to Travel" campaign that subsidizes 50% of personal travel expenditure support tourism industry under COVID-19 pandemic. This policy was controversial from viewpoint infection spread and temporarily cancelled in December though there no statistical evidence. is first study measures extent which this increased cases. regards as a natural experiment: although Tokyo its commuting areas experienced same time-series trends cases before To...
Furosemide, which is used worldwide as a diuretic agent, inhibits sodium reabsorption in Henle's loop, resulting diuresis and natriuresis. Arginine vasopressin ( AVP ) synthesised the supraoptic nucleus SON ), paraventricular PVN suprachiasmatic of hypothalamus. The synthesis magnocellular neurones physiologically regulated by plasma osmolality blood volume contributes to water homeostasis increasing collecting duct. Central dynamics after peripheral administration furosemide remain unclear....
This article analyzes the difference of properties economic growth theory between perfect and monopolistic competition. Whether or not capital investment is constrained by effective demand crucial factor which characterizes theories in different degree Whenever each firm faces a downward sloping curve location determined strength (i.e., real GDP), its accumulation inevitably demand. Thus, as far business environment kept unchanged, so investment. However, when good market perfectly...
While some donors boast about their giving, others give anonymously. A novel feature of this paper is that anonymity endogenously controlled by themselves, not exogenously fundraisers. Is anonymous giving really a virtue, as generally recognised? Paradoxically, proves vice for fundraisers even if it what desire. If many altruists (a good type) switch from known to relatively lowers the group reputation and enhances non-donors. These effects dilute incentive other individuals become donors,...
Recently, concatenative speech synthesizers with large databases have been widely developed for high-quality synthesis. However, some platforms require a synthesis system that can work under the limitation of memory footprint or computational cost. In this paper, we propose scalable synthesizer based on plural unit selection and fusion method. To realize scalability, offline method in which pitch-cycle waveforms voiced segments are fused advance. The experimental results show synthetic...
This study theoretically analyses the role of firms' prize promotions, using a simple and general microeconomic model. In static environment, promotions are meaningless. However, in dynamic work as credible announcements on expansions those future production. The key lies supply lottery tickets promotions. Because have been proved to be equivalent announcements, we can say that costless one best commitment tools time‐inconsistency between firm consumers. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
日本建築学会では，環境に配慮したコンクリートおよび鉄筋コンクリート工事のあり方を示すことを目的として，2008年9月に「鉄筋コンクリート造建築物の環境配慮施工指針（案）・同解説」を制定した。本稿は，その概要をまとめたものである。
This study examines the signaling roles of political parties and advertising. Although politicians’ types are unobservable during an election, their party affiliations advertisements observable to voters. Through these two behaviors, politicians can reveal hidden public. We extend Snyder Ting a multi-period model with possibility reelection examine relationships advertisements. show that not sufficient signals types. Political work as complementary signal parties. With advertisements, voters...
In this study, we develop a control system for automating the sewing of two pieces fabric (one curved and other straight) into 3D shape. operation, it is necessary to desired position attitude while suppressing reaction force generated when acquires Therefore, developed device based on movements actual workers by confirming procedure. The consists arm mechanisms per piece used mimic operator's fingers, high-speed camera replace eyes. mechanism controlled using an image processing method...
A surface-wave method and a seismic refraction were applied to residential area liquefied by The Mid Niigata Prefecture Earthquake in 2004 order evaluate the applicability of investigations liquefaction potential evaluation. result analysis agreed with actual damage. shear-wave velocity obtained from was carried out. Groundwater level estimated also that monitoring wells. groundwater are important factors implies enable us surface nondestructively.
“Otaki model” is an overlapping generations (OLG) model with fiat money and imperfect competition. It derives Keynesian implications such as involuntary unemployment, welfare-improving fiscal monetary policy, non-neutrality. Though its structure can be applied to other models productive implications, the Otaki has not been fully understood by economists. One reason could that in seminal works about model, he implicitly changed hidden assumptions, hence, of model. By employing aimed at...
