Effects of Age at Onset and Years of Musical Training on Consonant Recognition in Musicians by Ebtesam Sajjadi, Ahmadreza Nazeri, Ali Mohammadzadeh, Nooshin Sayadi, Saeid Farahani, Ghassem Mohammadkhani

“…Methods: Thirty-six Persian-speaking young musicians with normal hearing whose age at onset of musical training ranged 4–8 years and had at least 10 years of musical training, were asked to listen to Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) tokens presented in 12-talker babble noise and transcribe them. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the ability of age at onset of musical training and years of musical training in predicting the recognition of stops and fricatives. …”

Differential equations and recursive solutions for cosmological amplitudes by Song He, Xuhang Jiang, Jiahao Liu, Qinglin Yang, Yao-Qi Zhang

“…In this note, we revisit the computation of these “cosmological amplitudes” associated with any tree or loop graph for conformal scalars with time-dependent interactions in the power-law FRW universe, directly in terms of iterated time integrals. We start by decomposing any such cosmological amplitude (for loop graph, the “integrand” prior to loop integrations) as a linear combination of basic time integrals, one for each directed graph. …”
