چکیده

The purpose of this study was to estimate the vocal-tract length based on the distribution of sound pressure in the three-dimensional (3-D) vocal tract during the pronunciation of Japanese vowels. The 3-D shapes of a vocal tract and a dental crown were measured using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A male subject was asked to produce Japanese vowels while wearing a dental crown plate that contained a contrast medium for MRI processing. The distribution of sound pressure was estimated in the 3-D vocal tract using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The distribution of sound pressure shows that a sound wave propagates in the vocal tract as a non-plane wave in the high frequency region. The vocal-tract length was estimated based on the distribution of sound pressure in the 3D vocal tract. The results suggest that the vocal-tract length is long in the high frequency region.

Evaluation of Dislocation Pinning Effects from Simultaneous Measurements of Attenuation and Sound Velocity in Copper

The frequency dependence00 to 200 M H Z ~ O ~ the sound velocity and of the ultrasonic attenuation a has been measured on high purity Cu during 3 MeV y-irradiation at room temperature. The results are evaluated with respect to dislocation effects which under the present conditions cause the major contributions to the frequency dependent reduction of sound velocity AvD!v0 and attenuation aD.

Enhancing the Seasonal Variation Effect in the Case of the Vacuum Oscillation Solution of the Solar Neutrino Problem

We study in detail the threshold energy dependence of the seasonal variation effect in the energy integrated solar neutrino signal of the Super-Kamiokande detector in the case of the νe ↔ νμ,τ vacuum oscillation (VO) solution of the solar neutrino problem. We show, in particular, that for the values of ∆m2 and sin 2θ from the VO solution region, the predicted time and threshold e− energy (Te,Th...

Analyzing the internal resonances and energy exchange between modes of power system considering Frequency – Energy dependence using Pseudo-Arclength and shooting algorithm

The power system nonlinearity and its profound impact on the individual states of power system is first evaluated and the interaction between their constituent modes during the occurrence of internal mode resonance (IMR) is discussed in this paper. A typical dynamical feature of nonlinear systems is the frequency-energy dependence of their states and their corresponding constituent modes which ...

The impact of interface/border defect on performance and reliability of high-k/metal-gate CMOSFET

The impact of interface/border defect on performance and reliability was investigated for gate-first and gate-last high-k/metal-gate CMOSFET. For high-k/metal-gate CMOSFET, VFB roll-off is critical as effective oxide thickness (EOT) scales below 15 angstrom (Å) especially for metal gate-first device with an extra capping layer to adjust VTH. By proposing a model of metal-gate process induced in...
