Rumor, Mobile Phone, and Resistance in contemporary China

This study examines the characteristics and nature of rumor via mobile communication in contemporary China. By focusing on six concrete case studies with 50+ in-depth interviews, this study observes that mobile phone-mediated rumor has evolved into a special form of popular resistance at the grassroots level. The low-cost and user-friendly mobile device lowers the average protest threshold, creati

Stochastic Modelling of Image Acquisition, Interpolation and Scale-space smoothing

In this study, the problem of feature extraction by scale-space methods is addressed. The modeling of image acquisition, image interporation and scale-space smoothing is discussed, with particular emphasis on the influence of random errors and the interplay between the discrete and continuous representations. In doing so, new results are given on the stochastic properties of discrete and continuou

A perceptual study of speaker age

The present paper examines listeners’ ability to judge speaker age from stimuli consisting of phonated isolated words, and also suggests subdivision (categorisation) of voices into typical and atypical groups, depending on the listeners’ age estimating abilities.

Chemical characterization of the predominant proteins secreted by mouse seminal vesicles

Mouse seminal vesicles secrete four major protein components with estimated molecular masses of 95, 38, 17, and 16 kDa. Amino acid sequencing revealed that the 95-kDa component represents a protein with an unknown structure, while the 38-kDa component was identified as semenoclotin, the 17-kDa component as seminal-vesicle-secreted protein IV, and the 16-kDa component as seminal-vesicle-secreted pr
