چکیده

Measurements of F1 and F2 were made for the four corner vowels produced by typically-developing adolescents and adolescents with Fragile X and Down syndromes. The two high vowels were produced with lower F2 frequencies by the Fragile X and Down syndrome groups than the group of typically developing persons. This is consistent with a hypothesized backing of the tongue.

Modelling of Resonance Frequency of MEMS Corrugated Diaphragm for Capacitive Acoustic Sensors (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this paper, a new model for resonance frequency of clamped circular corrugated diaphragm has been presented. First, an analytical analyzes has been carried out to derive mathematic expressions for mechanical sensitivity of diaphragm with residual stress. Next by using Rayleigh's method we present mathematical model to calculate the resonance frequency of corrugated diaphragm and investigate ...

In the present paper, the phonological feature geometry of the Persian phonemes is analyzed in the form of articulate-free and articulate-bound features based on the articulator model of the nonlinear phonology. Then, the reference phonetic pattern of each feature that consists of one or a set of acoustic correlates, characterized by the quantitative or qualitative values in its phonological re...

A Study of the Relationship between Acoustic Features of “bæle” and the Paralinguistic Information

Language users benefit from special phonetic tools in order to communicate linguistic information as well as different emotional aspects and paralinguistic information through daily conversation. Having functions in conveying semantic information to listeners, prosodic features form the essential part of linguistic behavour, manipulating  them potentially can play an important role in transmitt...

Acoustic considerations upon the low nasal formant based on nasopharyngeal tract transfer function measurements

To understand acoustic phenomena involved in the production of nasal vowels, we have built an experimental setting to obtain vocal tract transfer functions. The vocal tract is excited through the skin of the glottis by a white noise. Wehave particulary studied the firstnasal formant Fn1 situated araund 250 Hz. lt seems to agree with FENG's predictions : Fn1 is a HELMHOL TZ resonance. But, becau...

The use of 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy in studying radiation-induced injury of the brain in elderly and young patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Background: This study aims to investigate the metabolic characteristics of radiotherapy-induced temporal lobe injury in elderly patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma using 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 21 elderly patients and 33 young patients before and during therapy with different radiation dosages (2...
