Correlation analysis of the speech multiscale product for the open quotient estimation

Multiscale product correlation for the open quotient estimation from the noisy speech signal

Effects of a New Voicing Parameter on Pathological Voice Discrimination by SVM

In this paper, we introduce new voicing parameters to describe the speech signal and we study their effects on the classification of disordered voices. These parameters concern the fundamental frequency and the open quotient. The open quotient is defined as the ratio of the open phase by the pitch period. These parameters are calculated using the multiscale product method (MPM). The classificat...

Glottal parameters estimation on speech using the zeros of the z-transform

This paper presents a method for the joint estimation of the open quotient and the asymmetry quotient of the open phase of the glottal flow on speech. An algorithm based on a source/filter decomposition (the Zeros of the Z Transform ZZT) is presented. This algorithm is first tested on a database of sustained vowels spoken at different voice qualities, then on running speech. Results are evaluat...

EFL Teachers’ Adversity Quotient, Personal Growth Initiative, and Pedagogical Success

This study investigated the relationship among Iranian English teachers’ adversity quotient, personal growth initiative, and pedagogical success. The participants comprised 28 male and female English teachers and a total of 336 male and female EFL learners who attended the abovementioned teachers’ classes (12 for each teacher). Stoltz’ (1997) Adversity Response Profile (ARP) and Robitsc...

$L$-Topological Spaces

‎By substituting the usual notion of open sets in a topological space $X$ with a suitable collection of maps from $X$ to a frame $L$, we introduce the notion of L-topological spaces. Then, we proceed to study the classical notions and properties of usual topological spaces to the newly defined mathematical notion. Our emphasis would be concentrated on the well understood classical connectedness...
