Significance of Data Augmentation for Improving Cleft Lip and Palate Speech Recognition [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The automatic recognition of pathological speech, particularly from children with any articulatory impairment, is a challenging task due to various reasons. The lack of available domain specific data is one such obstacle that hinders its usage for different speech-based applications targeting pathological speakers.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Reproduction of hypopnea phenomenon using a physical and numerical model [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Computer Methods in Biomechanics & Biomedical Engineering FIRST Numerics Ltd, ISBN 0-9549670-0-3 (Ed.) (2004) 1-6, 2006
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is now considered as a major health care topic. An in-vitro setup which reproduces and simplifies upper airway geometry has been the basis to study the fluid/walls interaction that leads to an apnea. It consists of a rigid pipe (the pharynx) in contact with a deformable latex cylinder filled with water (the tongue). Air

Pleomorphic adenoma of the soft palate [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, 2010
Pleomorphic adenoma is the commonest benign salivary gland tumour, accounting for almost three fourths of all such tumours. Pleomorphic adenoma most commonly occurs in the parotid gland; however it is also encountered in the submandibular, sublingual and minor salivary glands.Almost half of all salivary gland tumours are malignant, pleomorphic adenoma ...

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EDEMA OF THE SOFT PALATE [PDF]

open access: yesJAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1910
Not infrequently an apparently trivial symptom may be the expression of a serious affection, and if it is unheeded and the opportunity for active treatment allowed to pass it may lead to a fatal termination before its true significance has been appreciated. Such a symptom is edema of the soft palate, and especially the uvula. When observed its possible

Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.

Short-term spectroscopic variability of Plaskett's star [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Context. Plaskett's star (HD47129) is a very massive O-star binary in a post Roche-lobe overflow stage. CoRoT observations of this system revealed photometric variability with a number of frequencies. Aims. The aim of this paper is to characterize the variations in spectroscopy and investigate their origin. Methods. To sample its short-term variability,
