The communication of melancholy, grief, and fear in dance with and without music
2020
Professional dancers were video recorded dancing with the intention of expressing melancholy, grief, or fear. We used these recordings as stimuli in two studies designed to investigate the perception and sociality of melancholy, grief, and fear expressions during unimodal (dancing in silence) and multimodal (dancing to music) conditions. In Study 1, viewers rated their perceptions of social connection among the dancers in these videos. In Study 2, the same videos were coded for the amount of time that dancers spent in physical contact. Results revealed that dancers expressing grief and fear exhibited more social interactions than dancers expressing melancholy. Combined with the findings of …
Analytical Modeling of the Maximum Power Point with Series Resistance
2021
This paper presents new analytical expressions for the maximum power point voltage, current, and power that have an explicit dependence on the series resistance. An explicit expression that relates the series resistance to well-known solar cell parameters was also derived. The range of the validity of the model, as well as the mathematical assumptions taken to derive it are explained and discussed. To test the accuracy of the derived model, a numerical single-diode model with solar cell parameters whose values can be found in the latest installment of the solar cell efficiency tables was used. The accuracy of the derived model was found to increase with increasing bandgap and to decrease wi…
Innovative pragmatic codes in Ugandan English : a relevance-theoretic account
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Argumentum. Also available from the publisher at: http://argumentum.unideb.hu/2013-anyagok/bisingoma.pdf Open access The paper investigates innovative pragmatic codes in Ugandan English within the conceptual framework of Relevance Theory (cf. Sperber & Wilson 1986, Wilson & Sperber 2004). Wilson & Sperber (2004) state that an utterance is optimally relevant if it is worth the hearer’s processing effort, and if it is compatible with the speaker’s linguistic abilities and preferences. The reasoning behind these tenets of Relevance Theory can be used to account for the pervasive use of many expressions peculiar to Ugandan English. For example, in…
Modalitātes lietojums tiešsaistes laikrakstu rakstos Lielbritānijā un ASV par politiskām tēmām
2020
Iepriekšējie pētījumi par modalitātes lietojumu laikrakstu rakstos atklāja, ka žurnālisti mēdz ietekmēt lasītājus un sniegt faktu subjektīvu interpretāciju, kad tiek gaidīts objektīvs notikumu atspoguļojums. Tāpēc šī darba mērķis bija analizēt modalitātes lietojumu septiņpadsmit tiešsaistes laikrakstu rakstos divos Lielbritānijas un divos ASV laikrakstos par Brexit. Pētījumā izmantotās metodes ir diskursa analīze un statistiskā analīze. Rezultāti liecina, ka visvairāk lietotais modālais darbības vārds abu valstu laikrakstos ir will, kas izteica pārliecības nozīmi ar pierādījumu palīdzību, un norādīja, ka priekšroka tiek dota patiesībai. Pārējie modālie darbības vārdi would un could dominēja…
Piebildes izpausmes veidi lietišķajā angļu rakstu valodā
2015
Bakalaura darbs pēta galvenos piebildes izpausmes veidus angļu valodā, kas ir atrodami darījumu angļu valodas atskaitēs,jo īpaši, novērtējuma atskaitēs. Pētījuma mērķis ir noteikt darījumu atskaitēs atrodamos ziņošanas darbības vārdus un izpētīt to nozīmi un pielietojumu. Pētījuma teorētiskā daļa ietver literatūras apskatu par runas ziņojumiem, to funkcijām, kā arī literatūras pārskatu par piebildes izpausmes veidiem. Tālāk darbā tiek detalizētāk aplūkoti tādi piebildes izpausmes veidi kā darbības vārdi. Pēcāk tiek salīdzināti dažādu autoru piedāvātie piepildes izpausmes veidi. Otrajā daļā darba autors apraksta pētījumā pielietotās metodes un darba norises gaitu. Kā arī, darba gaita tiek sī…
Visual exploration of face and facial expression in infancy: A qualitative approach of cognitive and social development
2016
International audience; This article proposes a methodological consideration for the use of "head free" eye-tracking systems, which allowed to extend this technique to the study of infant skills. It explores how the technological developments enable a more qualitative approach, which offers the possibility of considering "how" in addition to "how long" the infant looks at a visual scene, especially the scene of the face.
Mutual inductance for an explicitly finite number of turns
2011
Published version of an article published in Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, 28, 273-287. Also available from the publisher at http://www.jpier.org/pierb/pier.php?paper=10110103 Non coaxial mutual inductance calculations, based on a Bessel function formulation, are presented for coils modelled by an explicitly finite number of circular turns. The mutual inductance of two such turns can be expressed as an integral of a product of three Bessel functions and an exponential factor, and it is shown that the exponential factors can be analytically summed as a simple geometric progression, or other related sums. This allows the mutual inductance of two thin solenoids to be expressed as an…

«Don aux églises et don d'églises dans le sud-est de la Gaule : du testament d'Abbon (739) aux chartes du début du XIe siècle»
2005
International audience; Aux vues de la documentation disponible concernant le sud-est de la Gaule, le traitement comparé des formes de transmission des patrimoines entre ceux qui disposent d'un honor ou d'une charge quelconque et ceux qui n'en disposent pas, ne peut être effectué qu'aux deux extrêmes de la fourchette chronologique qui nous occupe dans cette rencontre (VIIIe-Xe siècles). Ainsi, je propose d'analyser, en guise d'introduction, le testament d'Abbon, de 739, fondateur de l'abbaye de la Novalèse, recteur de la région de Suse et de la Maurienne, et probablement le dernier patrice de Provence. Ce document permet d'esquisser un tableau des cercles de parenté à l'intérieur desquels c…
Auditory Emotion Word Primes Influence Emotional Face Categorization in Children and Adults, but Not Vice Versa
2018
In order to assess how the perception of audible speech and facial expressions influence one another for the perception of emotions, and how this influence might change over the course of development, we conducted two cross-modal priming experiments with three age groups of children (6-, 9-, and 12-years old), as well as college-aged adults. In Experiment 1, 74 children and 24 adult participants were tasked with categorizing photographs of emotional faces as positive or negative as quickly as possible after being primed with emotion words presented via audio in valence-congruent and valence-incongruent trials. In Experiment 2, 67 children and 24 adult participants carried out a similar cate…
