Waveguide physical modeling of vocal tract acoustics: flexible formant bandwidth control from increased model dimensionality [PDF]
Digital waveguide physical modeling is often used as an efficient representation of acoustical resonators such as the human vocal tract. Building on the basic one-dimensional (1-D) Kelly-Lochbaum tract model, various speech synthesis techniques ...

Laryngeal Lymphoid Hyperplasia Presenting As Stridor in Pediatric Age [PDF]
Introduction:Benign lymphoid hyperplasia uncommonly involves the larynx. Involvement of glottis and subglottis is even rare, considering sparse lymphatic supply compared to supraglottis.

Ultrasonographic Estimation of Endotracheal Case Series Tube Size in Paediatric Patients and its Comparison with Physical Indices Based Formulae: A Prospective Study [PDF]
Introduction: Choosing the correct Endotracheal Tube (ETT) size is important in paediatric anaesthesia. The subglottic diameter being the narrowest diameter of the paediatric upper airway plays an important role in appropriate ETT size selection. Aim:

Post-aspiration in standard Italian [PDF]
Voiceless geminate stops in Italian are typically described as unaspirated in all positions (e.g. [1, 2]). However, recent acoustic phonetic analysis of part of a corpus of standard Italian speech data has shown that the geminate voiceless stops /pp tt ...

Best Practices in Second Stage Labor Care: Maternal Bearing Down and Positioning [PDF]
Despite evidence of adverse fetal and maternal outcomes from the use of sustained Valsalva bearing down efforts, current second-stage care practices are still characterized by uniform directions to “push” forcefully upon complete dilatation of the cervix

How do clarinet players adjust the resonances of their vocal tracts for different playing effects
In a simple model, the reed of the clarinet is mechanically loaded by the series combination of the acoustical impedances of the instrument itself and of the player's vocal tract. Here we measure the complex impedance spectrum of players' tracts using an
