A transfer matrix G(s) is decomposed into G(s) = U(s)M(s)V (s), where M(s) is in Smith-McMillan form and is given by M(s) = E(s)*Psi(s). How to prove that E(s) and Psi(s) are right-coprime? | ||

How to prove that E(s) and Psi(s) are right-coprime? Damn you! You actually made me look at math papers for the first time in years. Believe it or not, I even tried to recruit a friend who has a PHD in informatics and computer sciences and has been looking at higher mathematics for years to give you a more satisfactory answer, but considering he had no idea, I suppose you expect me to make the answer funny somehow. If my years in academia have taught me anything, your solution probably relies on the D'hondt modifier. Everything eventually comes down to that. + Show Spoiler + region specific political sciences in-joke, hoy! | ||

HAH KNEW IT We love you too. Because we know that you're a SKT and Bisu fan deep down inside. <3 Anyway, since I'm studying linguistics nowadays, I recently learned about the Estonian word "jäääär". Have you ever used this word in conversation? And are there any other similar words with an elongated vowel sound? Sadly, jäääär is the only Estonian I know. Estonian seems to be a very interesting language! | ||

I drink peppermint tea every other day and that usually satisfies my craving. On April 17 2013 07:44 Spica wrote: HAH KNEW IT We love you too.

Oh, there's a few. there's "kuuuurija" (moon researcher), "töööö" (work night), "veeeelistus" (water preference). Out of these, jäääär (ice edge) has been used most commonly by me, since I once made a presentation in history class about the Antarctic explorers. My favorite word in estonian to make non-estonians try to pronounce it is "Korstnapühkija" (the 4 consonants and the ü are awesome.). The word itself means "chimneysweep"."Süüa" (to eat) is pronounced differently than it is written, which is completely exceptional in the estonian language, and there are 14 cases, but no genders. Wrap your head around that. There's also an estonian band by the name jäääär! (I know the video says jääboiler, but they have renamed themselves about 3 years ago) http://www.jaaaar.eu/ On April 17 2013 08:02 Chairman Ray wrote: how long do you let your nails grow out before clipping them?

I don't know how much the Sonic events compensate for you. I miss it a lot, but having the SSL makes it a lot better than it was before. The TLS was awesome too. I know it's still far from PL quality, but that is more of a situational pain for me nowadays than a constant gaping hole in my heart that existed before I knew much about the Korean amateur-scene. | ||

How interesting, very interesting!! I would so put "kuuuurija" on my business card if I could. And I am going to try to use "veeeelistus" in everyday speech, just to be a linguist hipster snob. It's kinda hilarious how Estonian stretches out the vowels in those particular words in such an exaggerated manner though. I am so going to show off these new words to my friends and professor, kudos to you. Edit: Oh wait I just realized... They're not elongated vowels! They're compound words, words put together to form another word, but they sound like an elongated vowel!! My mind just exploded. So I'm guessing that if you see 4 of the same vowel together, it's usually in a compound word? Are there any non-compound word elongated vowel words though? "Korstnapühkija", that doesn't sound bad compared to various African and native indigenous people around the world's dialects, where you get clusterfucks of consonants stuck together sounding like a trainwreck. (No offense to those who speak indigenous dialects, but man you gotta admit, if you had more vowels in your consonant-heavy language, it'd sound a lot more prettier to the general public.) And how would you pronounce "süüa"? Like [soo-ah]? And even more interesting, 14 cases!! A refreshing change from the typical masculine/feminine/neutral pattern in some languages... Looks like I'll have to take a look at Estonian more in the future. :O And that band's not bad, sung Estonian sounds quite interesting! I thought it would sound maybe a bit similar to Russian as well, but nope, definitely more like Finnish. The lyrics of that song are extremely poetic as well. And as expected, they sure like to sing about their snow and cold and nature themes, haha. | ||
