the present article try to explain rate of acceptance and/ or resistance of khozestanis' arabic speakers in confront with globalization values, and would reply to the question; either  do  the fundamental globalization values cause the preeminence of ethnic identity among the iranian arabic speakers? in other words, what effects does the globalization values have on the particularism among...

This study investigated the acoustic phonetic characteristics of Korean diphthongs in 16 healthy controls, in 8 speakers with spastic dysarthria, and in 8 speakers with flaccid dysarthria. The subjects read /ja/, /wi/ and mean formant values were analyzed based on the spectrograms. The formant transition duration for the vowel /ja/ was longer for speakers with flaccid dysarthria than the contro...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to relate speakers' auditory acuity for the sibilant contrast, their use of motor equivalent trading relationships in producing the sibilant /∫/, and their produced acoustic distance between the sibilants /s/ and /∫/. Specifically, the study tested the hypotheses that during adaptation to a perturbation of vocal-tract shape, high-acuity speakers use motor equiv...

Abstract Active loudspeaker systems employ multiple drive units each having a dedicated amplifier, an approach that can lead to more efficient use of amplifier power with better dynamic control of the individual drive units. Such systems give a greater design freedom in terms of the form of crossover alignments that can be used and the method by which they can be implemented. This paper describ...

The problem of active shielding of some domains from the effect of the sources distributed in other domains is considered. The problem can be formulated either in a bounded domain or in an unbounded domain. The active shielding is realized via the implementation of additional sources in such a way that the total contribution of all sources leads to the desirable effect. Mathematically the probl...

The goal of this work is to determine the audio-video synchronisation between mouth motion and speech in a video. We propose a two-stream ConvNet architecture that enables the mapping between the sound and the mouth images to be trained end-to-end from unlabelled data. The trained network is used to determine the lip-sync error in a video. We apply the network to two further tasks: active speak...

This paper presents a supervised learning method for automatic visual detection of the active speaker in multiparty interactions. The presented detectors are built using a multimodal multiparty interaction dataset previously recorded with the purpose to explore patterns in the focus of visual attention of humans. Three different conditions are included: two humans involved in taskbased interact...
