In this paper, vocal tract and orofacial motions are measured during speech production in order to demonstrate that vocal tract motion can be used to estimate its orofacial counterpart. The inversion, i.e. vocal tract behavior estimation from orofacial motion, is also possible, but to a smaller extent. The numerical results showed that vocal tract motion accounted for 96% of the total variance ...

There have been many studies on superwetting surfaces owing to the variety of their potential applications. There are some drawbacks to developing these films for biomedical applications, such as the fragility of the microscopic roughness feature that is vital to ensure superwettability. But, there are still only a few studies that have shown an enhanced durability of nanoscale superwetting fil...

Previous sexual harassment research and theory have focused primarily upon the individual level, with little attention to teamor organization-level outcomes. In this article, we extend research on outcomes associated with sexual harassment to the team level with an examination of the relationships between team ambient sexual harassment, team conflict, team cohesion, team citizenship behaviors, ...
