This study aimed to evaluate the effects of auditory-verbal rehabilitation on voice parameters after implantation with cochlear implants 2 and 5 months after rehabilitation and compare them with normal voice children (under 12 years of age). A perceptive and electroacoustic evaluation of voice was carried out through a digital analysis after implantation and rehabilitation. The study was pe...

metal oxide surge arrester accurate modeling and its parameter identification are very important for insulation coordination studies, arrester allocation and system reliability. since quality and reliability of lightning performance studies can be improved with the more efficient representation of the arresters´ dynamic behavior. in this paper, big bang – big crunch and hybrid big bang – big cr...

This paper considers the role of norms within networks by describing how BP Exploration out-sourced its information technology (IT) function a major business activity. This outsourcing venture led to an attempt to create a network rather than to use a “market” form of organization. However, in some ways this attempt was found to have failed. It is suggested here that central to the effective fa...

Introduction: Use of patient-based voice assessment scales is an appropriate method that is frequently used to demonstrate effectiveness of voice therapy. This study was aimed at determining the effectiveness ofvoice therapy among patients with secondary muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) and vocal mass lesions.   Materials and Methods: The study design was prospective, with within-participant repe...

In this short article, we present an e-interview to a well-recognized system scientist Barry G. Silverman, who is Professor of Systems Science and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and Director of the Ackoff Collaboratory for Advancement of the Systems Approach (ACASA) in the same university. In this e-interview, Professor Silverman, teach us on the origins, and still applicability...

This paper proposes an efficient approach for the identification of the predominant voice from polyphonic musical audio. The algorithm implements an auditory streaming model which builds upon tone objects and salient pitches. The formation of voices is based on the regular update of the frequency and the magnitude of so called streaming agents, which aim at salient tones or pitches close to the...

The focus of this paper is artificial voices with different personalities. Previous studies have shown links between an individual’s use of disfluencies in their speech and their perceived personality. Here, filled pauses (uh and um) and discourse markers (like, you know, I mean) have been included in synthetic speech as a way of creating an artificial voice with different personalities. We dis...
