This paper reports our investigation of the acoustic effects of vocal training for amateur singers and of the contribution of those effects to perceived vocal quality. Recording singing voices before and after vocal training and then analyzing changes in acoustic parameters with a focus on features unique to singing voices, we found that two different F0 fluctuations (vibrato and overshoot) and...

Compensated cardiac patients, like normal subjects, on performing the Valsalva maneuver show a decrease in systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressures during the blowing effort and a characteristic hy-pertensive overshoot after the release of the strain. Cardiac patients in congestive failure show the "failure response" with a maintenance of the systolic, diastolic, and pulse pressures during the ...

Aiming at high overshoot and steady-state error in fuzzy controller of underwater vehicles, a new method based on data mining technique was presented. Apply Boolean association rule data mining to mine the polling list of fuzzy control from the database of manual operation record, and simulation and outfield experiments were carried out on Super Mohawk underwater vehicle to verify the feasibili...

We extend the Brander-Taylor model of population and resource development in an isolated society by adding a resource subsistence requirement to people’s preferences. This improves plausibility; amplifies population overshoot and collapse, and makes the steady state less stable; and allows for complete cessation of non-harvesting activities, in line with archaeological evidence for many societi...

This paper proposes to control the speed of the permanent magnet (PM) DC motor drive using fuzzy logic control (FLC) based on Matlab simulation environment. The proposed speed controller is developed based on fuzzy logic, to minimize maximum overshoot and steady state error. A comparison study and analysis of proposed fuzzy logic control to classical PID control system applied to PM DC motor is...

Concentrated hard-sphere suspensions and glasses are investigated with rheometry, confocal microscopy, and Brownian dynamics simulations during start-up shear, providing a link between microstructure, dynamics, and rheology. The microstructural anisotropy is manifested in the extension axis where the maximum of the pair-distribution function exhibits a minimum at the stress overshoot. The inter...

A simple analytical expression to account for electron-velocity overshoot effects on the performance of very short-channel MOSFET’s has been obtained. This new model can be easily included in circuit simulators of systems with a huge number of components. The influence of temperature and low-field mobility on the increase of MOSFET transconductance produced by electron-velocity overshoot as cha...

In this paper we attempt to generalize a sharpness enhancement technique for TV applications. Basically, the enhancement is accomplished by adding overshoot to luminance edges. However, the optimal amount of overshoot added for a high image quality depends on the local image statistics. For this purpose, four properties of the video signal are analysed locally by separate units and depending on...

The transport of L-proline was studied in brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from the kidneys of newborn rats. In contrast with the rapid initial uptake with an 'overshoot' observed in adult vesicles, uptake by the newborn vesicle was slow, showed no 'overshoot', and proline continued to accumulate at a time when the adult vesicle had already equilibrated. L-Proline transport in the newbor...

Data are presented to show the transient response of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) subjected to change in the load. Overshoot and undershoot behaviors of the steady-state current density were observed for various rates of change in the voltage during constant inlet flow rate conditions. The results of these experiments with a 25 cm2 triple serpentine flow field indicate a correla...
