We use language every day without devoting much thought to the process, but articulatory movement—the movement of the lips, tongue, and other organs—is among the subtlest and most adept of any actions performed by human beings. Here, I discuss the mechanisms of speech production, introduce functions for producing sound by controlling the movement of vocal organs, and consider models for achievi...

Abstract This study evaluated the use of gill parasitic monogenoideans from Sciades herzbergii (Siluriformes: Ariidae) as bioindicators environmental quality in Amazonian estuarine ecosystems. Fish were caught tidal channels an impacted area - IA, near port São Luís and a reference RA, Caeté estuary, Bragança. The influence capture site seasonality on parasite abundance, variables biometric dat...

This paper presents exploratory research on temporally dynamic patterns of vowel nasalization from two speakers Arabana. To derive a measure nasality, we use gradient tree boosting algorithms to statistically learn the mapping between acoustics and nasality in speaker-specific manner. Three primary findings emerge: (1) NVN contexts exhibit throughout entirety interval, propose that similar co-a...

Las diatomeas constituyen un grupo taxonómico de microbios exitosos, que exhiben una alta diversidad en hábitats marinos. epibiontes marinas también despliegan importante asociaciones simbióticas. Se analizaron muestras red fitoplancton localidades del Pacífico mexicano, estuvieron representadas por especies planctónicas, y adicionalmente se observaron tres epizoicas: Protoraphis hustedtiana, P...
