The paper considers the poetics of opera as a factor in ensuring genre self-identification during over four centuries history. It focuses on root sources related to system musical and theatrical genres. With emergence at turn seventeenth century, its was formed simultaneously two versions: verbal texts explanations linguistic expressive means works. idea conditional existence three different st...

conclusions significant difference in the fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, silence duration, friction duration, vocalization duration, and vocal cords contact quality index between the two groups was observed (p < 0.01). results the mean of fundamental frequency for the hearing loss children and the control group were 323.04 hz and 267.53 hz, jitter 10.05% and 1.52%, shimmer 17.24 and 5....

Introduction: Unilateral vocal cord paralysis (UVCP) is not an uncommon finding. Several procedures are available to manage glottal insufficiency. We conducted a clinical trial to evaluate the outcome of fat injection laryngoplasty.   Materials and Methods: Liposuctioned lower abdomen fat was injected for augmentation of paralyzed vocal cord in 20 patients with UVCP. Autologous fat was harveste...

in this paper, first, an initial feature vector for vocal fold pathology diagnosis is proposed. then, for optimizing the initial feature vector, a genetic algorithm is proposed. some experiments are carried out for evaluating and comparing the classification accuracies which are obtained by the use of the different classifiers (ensemble of decision tree, discriminant analysis and k-nearest neig...

Introduction: Laryngeal burns cause long-term voice disorders due to mucosal changes of the vocal folds. Inhalation injuries affect voice production and result in changes in the mucosal thickness and voice quality.   Case Report: A 47-year-old woman was transferred to our department with laryngeal burns sustained during a house fire. On laryngoscopic examination, mucosal waves of both vocal fol...

This paper reports on a behavioral study that explores the role of culture and gender in the recognition of emotional speech in an under investigated cultural context (a collectivist society: i.e., Iran). Participants were asked to recognize the emotional prosody of a set of validated emotional vocal portrayals (including the five basic emotions). Findings of the experiment were then comp...
