This study investigated voice onset time (VOT) in Korean stop consonants and the fundamental frequency (f0) of post-stop vowels Gangneung (a tonal variety). These aspects were compared with those Seoul (non-tonal), considering phonation types, place articulation, vowel context. Twenty speakers provided a total 1,620 speech samples, 3,240 measurements taken. Linear mixed effect modeling was cond...

We investigate whether the value of time (VOT) depends on when corresponding preferences are measured: in advance, just before, or after period for which being evaluated. find that VOT is highest elicited before period. This an indication affected by time-inconsistent, and more specifically, present-biased preferences. argue this result may explain why valuations based stated preference (SP) da...

INTRODUCTION Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) and the vascular occlusion test (VOT) can identify tissue hypoperfusion in trauma and sepsis. However, the technique is neither standardized nor uses the same monitoring site. We hypothesized that baseline and VOT StO2 would be different in the forearm (F) and thenar eminence (TH) and that different minimal StO2 values during the VOT would result in ...

The goal of this project was to examine the effects of lip rounding on the production of voice onset time in voiceless bilabial stops in children acquiring Hungarian as their first language. The duration of voice onset time in stops followed by or embedded between high back rounded phonologically long vowels with prominent lip protrusion are considerably longer. VOT durations in stops followed ...

We focus on generalizing constructions of Batch Single-Choice Cut-And-Choose Oblivious Transfer and Multi-sender k-out-of-n Oblivious Transfer, which are at the core of efficient secure computation constructions proposed by Lindell et al. and the IPS compiler. Our approach consists in showing that such primitives can be based on a much weaker and simpler primitive called Verifiable Oblivious Tr...

The Thermal Infrared Visual Object Tracking (VOT-TIR2015) Challenge was organized in conjunction with ICCV2015. It was the first benchmark on short-term, single-target tracking in thermal infrared (TIR) sequences. The challenge aimed at comparing short-term single-object visual trackers that do not apply pre-learned models of object appearance. It was based on the VOT2013 Challenge, but introdu...

This study examines the synchronisation of voicing and VOT in German fortis and lenis stops being produced by native German speakers imitating a French accent as well as by native French speakers speaking German. The results show that native German speakers use variation of glottal activity during French accent imitation, i.e. reduction of VOT in fortis plosives and variation of voicing in leni...

The paper aims to investigate the sources of crosslinguistic influence in the acquisition of voice onset time patterns in third language phonology. Thirty two learners of L3 French with L1 Polish and L2 English were recorded reading lists of words in carrier phrases in the three respective languages. The recordings were analyzed for the degree of aspiration of voiceless stops in stressed onset ...

Covariation among vowel height effects on vowel intrinsic fundamental frequency (IF(0)), voice onset time (VOT), and voiceless interval duration (VID) is analyzed to assess the plausibility of a common physiological mechanism underlying variation in these measures. Phrases spoken by 20 young adults, containing words composed of initial voiceless stops or /s/ and high or low vowels, were produce...

This study aimed to investigate the voice onset time (VOT) of plosives in VCV syllables by place articulation and phonation type spoken children with bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) comparison typical hearing (TH). In all, 15 CIs TH participated this study, aged between 5 10 years. All produced 9 their VOT were analyzed Praat software. There was no significant difference mean TH. However, the...
