The Nemours ModelTalker supports voice banking for users diagnosed with ALS/MND and related neurodegenerative diseases. Users record up to 1600 sentences from which a synthetic voice is constructed. For the past two years we have focused on extending and refining a web-based recording tool to support this process. In this demonstration, we illustrate the features of the web-based pipeline that ...

we find an explicit expression of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. we also find a formula of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. finally, we give an alternative expression of the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.

A prime number sieve is an algorithm that nds the primes up to a bound n. We present four new prime number sieves. Each of these sieves gives new space complexity bounds for certain ranges of running times. In particular, we give a linear time sieve that uses only O(p n=(log log n) 2) bits of space, an O l (n= log log n) time sieve that uses O(n=((log n) l log log n)) bits of space, where l > 1...

A system for transferring vocal expressions separately from singing voices with accompaniment to singing voice synthesizers is described. The expressions appear as fluctuations in the fundamental frequency contour of the singing voice, such as vibrato, glissando, and kobushi. The fundamental frequency contour of the singing voice is estimated using the subharmonic summation in a limited frequen...

In this paper we present two different approaches to the modeling of the singing voice. Each of these approaches has been thought to fit in the specific requirements of two applications. These are an automatic voice impersonator for karaoke systems and a singing voice synthesizer.

A schema mapping is a declarative specification of the relationship between instances of a source schema and a target schema. The data exchange (or data translation) problem asks: given an instance over the source schema, materialize an instance (or solution) over the target schema that satisfies the schema mapping. In general, a given source instance may have numerous different solutions. Amon...

In this paper we propose an algorithm for computing large primes p and q such that q divides p4 + p3 + p2 + p+ 1 or p4 − p3 + p2 − p+ 1. Such primes are key parameters for the GiulianiGong Public Key System.

this paper considers the generation of some interpretable fuzzy rules for assigning an amino acid sequence into the appropriate protein superfamily. since the main objective of this classifier is the interpretability of rules, we have used the distribution of amino acids in the sequences of proteins as features. these features are the occurrence probabilities of six exchange groups in the seque...
