Present-day Maori elders comment that the mita (which includes rhythm) of the Maori language, has changed over time. This paper presents the first results in a study of the change of Maori rhythm. PVI analyses did not capture this change. Perceptual experiments, using extracts of speech low-pass filtered to 400 Hz, demonstrated that Maori and English speech could be distinguished. Listeners who...

In this paper multiphase oscillators built using fractional-order allpass filters are presented. We examine the theory behind their operation and demonstrate their usefulness in the design of both multiphase and quadrature oscillators. Case design examples are given for various scenarios, while PSPICE and experimental results verify their operation

In this paper we study sufficient local conditions for the existence of non-trivial solution to a critical equation for the p(x)−Laplacian where the critical term is placed as a source through the boundary of the domain. The proof relies on a suitable generalization of the concentration–compactness principle for the trace embedding for variable exponent Sobolev spaces and the classical mountain...

Older listeners with high-frequency hearing loss rely more on intensity for categorisation of /s/ than normal-hearing older listeners. This study addresses the question whether this increased reliance comes about immediately when the need arises, i.e., in the face of a spectrally-degraded signal. A phonetic categorisation task was carried out using intensitymodulated fricatives in a clean and a...

Effects of low-pass filtering on the judgment of vocal affect in speech directed to infants, adults and foreigners. ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 2 ABSTRACT Low-pass filtering has been used in emotional research to remove the semantic content from speech on the assumption that the relevant acoustic cues for vocal affect

Quantization noise levels of two low-sensitive allpass filter structures, namely wave digital circulator filters (WDCF) and lossless digital integrator filters (LDIF), are compared. Allpass filters are of interest for design of lowpass and bandpass lattice filters. The results show, primarily, that second-order LDIFs have lower total quantization noise gains than corresponding WCDFs for any pol...

In this paper, a compact high-pass filter (HPF) with a sharp rejection response based on the balanced composite right-left handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) concept is proposed. A series LC resonator using an interdigital capacitor and meander lines is designed. Also, a meander spiral complementary split ring resonator (MSCSRR) is used to realize the parallel LC resonator. The high-pass filt...
