Objective The objective of this project is to enable the ESSENCE system to read in, utilize, and export out meaningful use syndromic surveillance data using the Health Level 7 (HL7) v2.5 standard. This presentation will detail the technical hurdles with reading a meaningful use syndromic surveillance data feed containing multiple sources, deriving a common meaning from the varying uses of the s...

In this paper, results from two studies on articulation rate variation and prosodic phrasing are presented. Production data are presented that suggest a progressive articulation rate reduction over the course of the prosodic phrase in southern Swedish, and results from a perception experiment reveal the importance of articulation rate reduction for perceived boundary strength.

To address issues of traditional modeling tools (installation, model versioning and lack of model repositories), Axellience has developed the first online UML modeling tool. In GenMyModel’s beta-phase, the most requested feature was collaboration. Supporting collaborative modeling involves addressing classical concerns of CSCW. These issues are usually classified through core dimensions like aw...

Purpose. To investigate the impact of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN DBS) and levodopa intake on vowel articulation in dysarthric speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods. Vowel articulation was assessed in seven Quebec French speakers diagnosed with idiopathic PD who underwent STN DBS. Assessments were conducted on- and off-medication, first prior to surgery and ...

In organ playing the only musical parameters immediately available for expression are changes of the tone onsets and offsets. While interonset intervals (IOIs) have been studied extensively in performances on several instruments, the offset timings are largely unknown. For analysis of musical articulation the extractions of onsets as well as offsets are required. In this study, the tone onsets ...

The authors present a visual articulation model for speech synthesis and a method to obtain it from measured data. This visual articulation model is integrated into MASSY, the Modular Audiovisual Speech SYnthesizer, and used to control visible articulator movements described by six motion parameters: one for the up-down movement of the lower jaw, three for the lips and two for the tongue. The v...

OBJECTIVE We wanted to determine whether ankyloglossia is associated with articulation problems and the effect of frenuloplasty on speech and tongue mobility. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a prospective study of 30 children aged 1 to 12 years with ankyloglossia undergoing frenuloplasty. Outcomes were assessed by measurements of tongue mobility, speech evaluation, and parent questionnaires. RESU...
