The Self-Organization of Speech Sounds [PDF]
, 2005 The speech code is a vehicle of language: it defines a set of forms used by a community to carry information. Such a code is necessary to support the linguistic interactions that allow humans to communicate. How then may a speech code be formed prior to

Hierarchical self-organization of non-cooperating individuals [PDF]
, 2013 Hierarchy is one of the most conspicuous features of numerous natural, technological and social systems. The underlying structures are typically complex and their most relevant organizational principle is the ordering of the ties among the units they are

Schneefernerhaus as a mountain research station for clouds and turbulence [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015 Cloud measurements are usually carried out with airborne campaigns, which are expensive and are limited by temporal duration and weather conditions. Ground-based measurements at high-altitude research stations therefore play a complementary role in cloud

Contact numbers in packings of frictional cylinders [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesThe mechanical stability of a granular system depends on the average number of contacts Z between its particles. For most particle shapes, predicting Z as a function of the average volume fraction ϕ is complicated by the spatial correlations between ...
