HyunSub Sim. Acoustic Analysis of Stuttering Children s Fluent Speech: Preand Post Therapy . K orean J ournal of Communicat ion D isorders, 2 , 119136. This study compared absolute durations of temporal acoustic parameters at the subsegmental level of fluent speech produced by stuttering children (N = 4) before and after Normal T alking Process therapy. These measures were compared with those o...

This report describes the application of the Fluent code to the numerical simulation of the freesurface flow around a model naval ship; the DTMB 5415. Simulations were performed using both a structured hexahedral mesh and an unstructured tetrahedral mesh of lower resolution. The results show that Fluent is able to accurately simulate the total ship resistance, near-field wave shapes, and the ve...

Learning to speak a new language requires the formation of recognition patterns for the speech sounds specific to the newly acquired language. The present study demonstrates the dynamic nature of cortical memory representations for phonemes in adults by using the mismatch negativity (MMN) event-related potential. We studied Hungarian and Finnish subjects, dividing the Hungarians into a naive (n...

Dissociations between impairments in microlinguistic and macrolinguistic abilities were examined in brain-damaged patients to assess whether these abilities are psychologically and neurologically distinct. The discourse productions of three groups of patients with equally severe fluent language disorders, but varying neuropathology and varying profiles of associated nonlinguistic cognitive impa...

We develop an abstract partial deduction method capable of solving planning problems in the Fluent Calculus. To this end, we extend \classical" partial deduction to accommodate both, equational theories and regular type information. We show that our new method is actually complete for conjunctive planning problems in the propositional Fluent Calculus. Furthermore, we believe that our approach c...

Recently, version 3.0a of the software package FEMLAB for solving multiphysics partial differential equations was released. In the present project we compared its performance with the previous release 2.3 and the package Fluent 6.1 in stationary laminar flow benchmark problems in two and three dimensions. It turns out that the new version is an essential improvement over the old version. It is ...

A study to further simulation research of a commercial chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor is presented. A simulation is created using the computational fluid dynamics software package, Fluent (version 4). The variation of gas temperature inside the reactor system, as a function of gas flow rate, is examined. Data is collected for trials of several initial flow rates and iterations. Results...

This study investigated the effect of lexical content on sentence production in nonfluent aphasia. Five participants with nonfluent aphasia, four with fluent aphasia, and eight controls were asked to describe pictured events in subject-verb-object sentences. Experiment 1 manipulated speed of lexical retrieval by varying the frequency of sentence nouns. Nonfluent participants' accuracy was consi...

BACKGROUND One contemporary view of stuttering posits that speech disfluencies arise from anomalous speech motor control. PURPOSE To verify the rest muscle tension and speech reaction time of fluent and stuttering adults. METHOD 22 adults, divided in two groups: G1--11 fluent individuals; G2--11 stutterers. Electromyography recordings (inferior orbicularis oris) were collected in two differ...

Neural control of rising and falling tones in Mandarin people who stutter (PWS) was examined by comparing with that which occurs in fluent speakers [Howell, Jiang, Peng, and Lu (2012). Neural control of fundamental frequency rise and fall in Mandarin tones. Brain and Language, 121(1), 35-46]. Nine PWS and nine controls were scanned. Functional connectivity analysis showed that the connections b...
