INTRODUCTION Articulation of pronounced sounds during the training and subsequent use of esophageal speech is very important because it contributes significantly to intelligibility and aesthetics of spoken words and sentences, as well as of speech and language itself. The aim of this research was to determine the quality of articulation of sounds of Serbian language by groups of sounds in patie...

Biomedical imaging techniques are applied to observe the hidden process of human articulation. We propose a new approach for obtaining a typical image for a phoneme’s articulation. We use vocal tract images captured using dynamic MRI, and by considering image spatial characteristics (intensities), we calculate the average of different instances of phoneme articulation. The obtained image presen...

In this paper we introduce the concept of the short-time articulation index. This is a procedure for calculating a time-varying articulation index from data on a block-by-block basis. The short-time articulation index can be used to give a running measure of the speech intelligibility for an adaptive noise-cancellation system as it converges. We present an algorithm for calculating the short-ti...

This article aimed at introduce and offer a concept of 'spatial articulation' that sustainable in developing the ideal urban housings settlements Indonesia, 'Spatial Articulation' is or theory developed from 'Articulation Mode Production'—A realm macro sociology offers assumption social formations on periphery (developing countries) are mastered, least, by two modes production, capitalist mode ...

In this paper, results from two studies on articulation rate variation and prosodic phrasing are presented. Production data are presented that suggest a progressive articulation rate reduction over the course of the prosodic phrase in southern Swedish, and results from a perception experiment reveal the importance of articulation rate reduction for perceived boundary strength.

To address issues of traditional modeling tools (installation, model versioning and lack of model repositories), Axellience has developed the first online UML modeling tool. In GenMyModel’s beta-phase, the most requested feature was collaboration. Supporting collaborative modeling involves addressing classical concerns of CSCW. These issues are usually classified through core dimensions like aw...

Purpose. To investigate the impact of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN DBS) and levodopa intake on vowel articulation in dysarthric speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods. Vowel articulation was assessed in seven Quebec French speakers diagnosed with idiopathic PD who underwent STN DBS. Assessments were conducted on- and off-medication, first prior to surgery and ...

In organ playing the only musical parameters immediately available for expression are changes of the tone onsets and offsets. While interonset intervals (IOIs) have been studied extensively in performances on several instruments, the offset timings are largely unknown. For analysis of musical articulation the extractions of onsets as well as offsets are required. In this study, the tone onsets ...
