Although sinusoidal models have been demonstrated to be capable of high-quality musical instrument synthesis [1], speech modi cation [2], and speech synthesis [3], little exploration of the application of these models to the synthesis of singing voice has been undertaken. In this paper, we propose a system framework similar to that employed in concatenation-based text-to-speech synthesizers, an...

The development and motion of fronts associated with lee-side troughs on large mountain barriers has been investigated. These fronts differ from ordinary cold fronts in their horizontal temperature field, which is characterized by a sinusoidal thermal ridge. The thermal ridge intensifies, while remaining stationary with respect to the mountains, and moves eastward upon the approach of a Pacific...

The presence of amplitude fluctuations in one frequency region can interfere with our ability to detect similar fluctuations in another (remote) frequency region. This effect is known as modulation detection interference (MDI). Gating the interfering and target sounds asynchronously is known to lead to a reduction in MDI, presumably because the two sounds become perceptually segregated. The fir...

A comparative electron microscopic study was made on the effects of saponin on the sinusoids and capillaries of various organs of rabbits and the sinusoids of the bone marrow in cats, dogs, rats and mice. Animals received an intravenous injection of saponin at a dose of 2 mg per kg of body weight and were sacrificed 6 hours after injection. In rabbits, the sinusoidal endothelium of the bone mar...

We present a novel hybrid strategy based on machine learning to improve curvature estimation in the level-set method. The proposed inference system couples enhanced neural networks with standard numerical schemes compute more accurately. core of our framework is switching mechanism that relies well established techniques gauge curvature. If magnitude larger than resolution-dependent threshold, ...

The study of wave and its propagation on the water surface is among significant phenomena in designing quay, marine and water structures. Therefore, in order to design structures which are exposed to direct wave forces, it is necessary to study and simulate water surface height and the wave forces on the structures body in different boundary conditions. In this study, the propagation of static ...
