Time-scale modification (TSM) is the task of speeding up or slowing down an audio signal’s playback speed without changing its pitch. In digital music production, TSM has become an indispensable tool, which is nowadays integrated in a wide range of music production software. Music signals are diverse—they comprise harmonic, percussive, and transient components, among others. Because of this wid...

Vacuum and temperature effects on moisture content, water vapor permeability (WVP), color (L, a, b, and DE), tensile strength (TS), elongation (E), and total soluble matter (TSM) of soy protein isolate (SPI) films were examined. SPI films were cured at 60, 72.5, or 85 °C and at 101.3, 81.32, or 61.32 kPa for 24 h. As a result of heat-curing moisture content, WVP, E, and TSM decreased, and total...

A new time-domain, non-pitch-synchronous method for timescale modification targeted on broadband speech is proposed. The method is based on the SOLA (synchronous overlap-add) and EM-TSM (envelope-matching time-scale modification) methods, where the sign envelope of the EM-TSM method is replaced by a generalized envelope formed by the highest bits of the samples. (The actual number of bits will ...

This paper investigates special tone sandhi in Taiwan Southern Min (TSM), arguing that special tone sandhi in trisyllabic adjective reduplication in TSM is due to pragmatic factor rather than phonological factor, floating tone for example. It is proposed that a floating high tone appears between the first and second syllable of the trisyllabic adjective reduplication and it leads to the special...

Today the multimedia content delivery chain faces many challenges. There are increasing terminal diversity, network heterogeneity and pressure to satisfy the user preferences. Therefore, the need of customized contents comes in light to provide users the best possible experience. In this paper, we address the problem of multimedia customization. For the customized content, we suggest the team s...

A series of observations were made between 15 June and 9 July 1995 in an attempt to determine the system temperature, gain, and SEFD (System Equivalent Flux Density) for each antenna of the VLBA as a function of frequency for all bands. Each band was divided evenly into frequencies which extended beyond the nominal bandwidth. This was done to test antenna performance across the full band and es...
