Wavelike Motion of a Mechanical Vocal Fold Model at the Onset of Self-Excited Oscillation
The vocal folds in the larynx experience a self-excited oscillation with a wavelike motion during speech owing to interaction with respiratory airflow.

A mechanical experimental setup to simulate vocal folds vibrations. Preliminary results [PDF]
This paper contributes to the understanding of vocal folds oscillation during phonation. In order to test theoretical models of phonation, a new experimental set-up using a deformable vocal folds replica is presented. The replica is shown to be able to produce self sustained oscillations under controlled experimental conditions.

Control of Ferromagnetism of Vanadium Oxide Thin Films by Oxidation States
The nonstoichiometric VOx exhibits a distinct ferromagnetic hysteresis loop and demonstrates a high magnetic susceptibility (χ=dMdH$ = \frac{{dM}}{{dH}}\;$∼10). Micromagnetic simulations show the results of the “partial volume fraction ferromagnetic phase model” for VOx/Co/Pt structure.

Use of surface electromyography in phonation studies: an integrative review
Summary Introduction: Surface electromyography has been used to assess the extrinsic laryngeal muscles during chewing and swallowing, but there have been few studies assessing these muscles during phonation.

Data-driven Detection and Analysis of the Patterns of Creaky Voice [PDF]
This paper investigates the temporal excitation patterns of creaky voice. Creaky voice is a voice quality frequently used as a phrase-boundary marker, but also as a means of portraying attitude, affective states and even social status. Consequently, the automatic detection and modelling of creaky voice may have implications for speech technology ...

A Tonal Analysis of Gurung, with Separate Systems for Register and Contour Pitch Features [PDF]
An earlier analysis of Gurung, by Burton-Page in BSOAS, 17/1, 1955, put forward a single system, of two terms, for the word unit in the dialect spoken in Ghandrung: tones 1 and 2; the present analysis of the Gurung of a speaker from the centre of the ...

The coherent heterostructure and the strong stress field at the heterointerface upshift the d‐band center of vanadium toward the Fermi level, which effectively lowers the Na+ diffusion barrier, facilitates charge transfer and accelerates reaction kinetics.

Estimation of Infants' Cry Fundamental Frequency using a Modified SIFT algorithm [PDF]
This paper addresses the problem of infants' cry fundamental frequency estimation. The fundamental frequency is estimated using a modified simple inverse filtering tracking (SIFT) algorithm. The performance of the modified SIFT is studied using a real database of infants' cry. It is shown that the algorithm is capable of overcoming the problem of under-
