Predicting confusions and intelligibility of noisy speech
… are inadequate for making predictions of speech confusions caused by acoustic interference. This thesis is inspired by the need for a capability to understand and predict speech confusions caused by acoustic interference. The goal of this thesis is to develop models of auditory speech processing …

Modeling image-to-image confusions in memory
… false positives has remained unclear. We examine confusions between individual images as a possible cause of these false positives. We first introduce a new experimental task for examining measuring the rates at which participants confuse one image for another and show that the images prone to …

Two-dimensional spatial frequency content and confusions among dot matrix characters
A two-phase study was conducted which related the confusions I among dot matrix characters to the two-dimensional spatial frequency similarity of these characters. During the first phase of the study, subjects were shown single alphanumeric characters from four different dot matrix fonts. In …

Consonant Loss Profile and Perceptual Confusions for Hearing-Impaired Listeners in Noise
… that for most of target syllables the major confusions were evoked by the same competitors for both gain and no-gain conditions, but for others completely different CV syllables competed with the targets.

Resources, Confusions, and Compatibility in Dual Axis Tracking: Displays, Controls, and Dynamics
… and integrated controls both led to increased confusions between tracking axes although error was unaffected. Importantly, performance was also affected by whether the integrality of displays matched that of controls. These results suggest that dual axis tracking is subject to separate effects …

Wittgenstein on grammar and grammatical method
… of use is responsible for many philosophical confusions, and that Wittgenstein‘s grammatical methods aim to eliminate confusions by bringing this dimension of use and grammar back into focus.

The classical theory of field evaporation
… analysed and is shown to contain various confusions. After redefining consistent terminology, this thesis investigates the mechanisms of field evaporation, in particular, the relevance of the theoretical mechanisms by analysing the available experimental data. A new formalism `extended …

Felt senses of self and no-self in therapy
… beyond patterns, to point out conceptual confusions. Buddhist philosophy and practice are discussed as methods of undoing such conceptual confusions in order to relieve suffering, with self as an independent, stable, substantial entity being the primary example of such a confusion. Dualism …

Methods for robust characterization of consonant perception in hearing-impaired listeners
… consonant but also its pattern of specific confusions. As we found in Study I, there was no measurable correlation between pure-tone threshold and the error rate, or no identification of high-error consonants in HI ears. As noise increased, the percentage of error and confusions of target …

Socrates' Simile of the Cave
… are highly mysterious and some philosophical confusions are involved in it. Furthermore, there are many passages in which Socrates himself denies his engagement in any activity of that nature. This is an attempt to describe some formal features of his philosophy with the conceptual tools …

An In-Field Experiment on the Effects of Hearing Protection/Enhancement Devices and Military Vehicle Noise on Auditory Localization of a Gunshot in Azimuth

The meaning of passive sentences in Japanese

Ecotourism: characteristics and involvement patterns of its consumers in the United Kingdom.
… circles. For example,there are uncertainties and confusions both in terms of the definition of ecotourism and also in the enumeration of its fundamental principles; confusions which in part are derived from a lack of understanding of the behaviour of ecotourists. Indeed, it can be suggested that …

Techniques for understanding hearing-impaired perception of consonant cues
… are relatively consistent in their low-noise confusions; confusion groups are restricted to fewer than three confusions, on average. For each consonant token, the same confusion group is consistently observed across a population of hearing-impaired listeners. Quantifying these token …

Lin Tongqi : an oral history
… cultures are integrated, a life that is full of confusions and reliefs, challenges and responses, twists and turns, and unexpected insights and transcendences. This oral history also illustrates in a microcosm the fate of intellectuals who lived during the approximately 100-hundred-year tumult …

Politics in Hobbes' mechanics: a case study in the sociology of scientific knowledge
