In this work we study a simple model of voiced sound production. We analyze contributions that the qualitative theory of dynamical systems can make to the analysis and synthesis of human speech.

Combinatorial parallel synthesis has led to the rapid generation of a single-compound library of novel fluorinated quaterphenyls. Subsequent automated screening revealed liquid crystalline (LC) behaviour and gave qualitative relationships of molecular structures and solid state properties.

Recognition of the need for good research synthesis dates back almost half a century (c.f .WRIGHT MILLS, 1959), although it is far more recently that specific methods of synthesis have been developed. NOBLIT and HARE (1988) argue that such methods have emerged because of the failings, in the eyes of both positivists and interpretivists, of traditional literature reviews which, while giving an o...

Many researchers stressed the importance of physical effects in the synthesis and analysis of artefacts. Murakoshi and Taura [1998] feel that synthesising artefacts directly from physical effects is hard since effects have been created and described by scientists primarily for explanation of phenomena rather than for synthesising artefacts that embody these phenomena – and synthesis using them ...
