Infants’ vocalizations analyzed with an articulatory model: A preliminary report

Infants' vocalizations analyzed with an articulatory model: A preliminary report

Articulatory exploration enables the infant to discover abilities of the vocal tract and learn relationships between movements and percepts. However, neither direct measurements nor transcription methods have access to tongue configurations in pre-linguistic infant vocalizations. A statistical articulatory–acoustic model integrating the non-linear growth of the human vocal tract was used to des...

OUTPATIENT RETINAL DETACHMENT SURGERY: A PRELIMINARY REPORT

Retinal detachment surgery has been considered an inpatient hospital procedure requiring preoperative and postoperative hospitalization. In this pilot study, outpatient retinal detachment surgery was performed on sixteen patients and the results (100% success rate after an average follow-up of 8.3 months) were comparable or better than reported overall success rates for retinal detachment ...

Model Checking a Path (Preliminary Report)

We consider the problem of checking whether a finite (or ultimately periodic) run satisfies a temporal logic formula. This problem is at the heart of “runtime verification” but it also appears in many other situations. By considering several extended temporal logics, we show that the problem of model checking a path can usually be solved efficiently, and profit from specialized algorithms. We f...

effect of topical morphine on cutaneous leishmaniasis in an animal model: a preliminary report

background pentavalent antimonials remain the choice of treatment for leishmaniasis, despite their toxicity, high cost, and difficult administration. as an alternative, morphine may induce the healing process of cutaneous leishmaniasis by its immunoregulatory characteristics. objectives to study the effect of morphine on the wound-healing process of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in a mouse model...
