Factors were engine speed and gear ratio for combines with and without original cabins. A factorial experiment arranged as a completely randomized design with four replicates was used. Re...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To analyze tracheoesophageal voice resistance in laryngectomized patients by comparing the acoustic, perceptive-auditory and self-evaluation measures before and after the voice resistance test. STUDY DESIGN An observational, experimental study with a quantitative and descriptive approach. METHODS Nineteen total laryngectomees were submitted for capture of vocal intensi...

Background: Speech disorders are a feature of Parkinson’s disease, typically worsening as the disease progresses. The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) was developed to address these difficulties. It targets vocal loudness as a means of increasing vocal effort and improving co-ordination across the subsystems of speech. Aims: Currently LSVT is not widely available, and there are practical di...

Are the characteristic timbre and loudness of Bulgarian women's singing related to tuning of resonances of the vocal tract?
