This paper presents a rolling sound synthesis model which can be intuitively controlled. To propose this model, different aspects of the rolling phenomenon are explored : physical modeling, perceptual attributes and signal morphology. A source-filter model for rolling sounds synthesis is presented with associated intuitive controls.

We present an approach for analyzing the morphology of anatomical structures of the brain, which uses an elastic transformation to normalize brain images into a reference space. The properties of this transformation are used as a quantitative description of the size and shape of brain structures; inter-subject comparisons are made by comparing the transformations themselves. The utility of this...

This study concerns the interaction of pitch, morphology and vowel length in Tłîchô Yatiì (Dogrib) and Dene Sųłine (Chipewyan), Dene (Athabaskan) tone languages of the Mackenzie River Drainage. Starting from an earlier study we extend it to investigate the realization of tone on long vowels in Tłîchô Yatiì. Our results indicate that slope is a feature of vowel length contrast.

We examined differences between the processing of inflectional versus derivational morphology, using Greek nouns and verbs with a primed lexical decision task. Previous work suggested that both noun and verb targets were significantly primed by the same grammatical class. However, when preceded by different grammatical class, verb but not noun targets showed priming. We attributed the asymmetri...

Compound process technology has been investigated for many years on a macro scale, but only a few studies can be found on a micro scale due to the difficulties in tool manufacturing, parts transporting and punch-die alignment. In this paper, a novel technology of combining the laser shock wave and soft punch was introduced to fabricate the dish-shaped micro-parts on copper to solve these diffic...
