Intelligibility of chimeric locally time-reversed speech: Relative contribution of four frequency bands [PDF]
Intelligibility of four-band speech stimuli was investigated (n = 18), such that only one of the frequency bands was preserved, whereas other bands were locally time-reversed (segment duration: 75–300 ms), or vice versa. Intelligibility was best retained

On a Robust Descriptor of the Flue Organ Pipe Transient
The initial transient of an organ pipe is known to be of great influence to the perceived sound quality. At the same time, the unsteady process of the tone onset is essentially nonlinear and lacks exact repeatability, so the search for a robust ...

Effects of perceptual abilities and lexical knowledge on the phonetic categorization of second language speech [PDF]
This study examined how phonetic categorization in a second language (L2) is jointly affected by perceptual abilities and lexical knowledge. Adult L1 Mandarin Chinese and L1 English-L2 Mandarin learners performed a phonetic categorization task.

Computational determination of transition times using the measured mouthpiece pressure from soprano and bass clarinet players [PDF]
This study offers a metric to investigate transition times between articulated notes for reed instruments such as clarinets and bass clarinets. The method requires analysis of measurements of musician mouthpiece pressure.

Transmission Perspective on the Mechanism of Coarse and Fine Crackle Sounds
The possibility of a normal distribution indicates that few particles are in the same phase during a breath and their reflections can be observed on the chest wall, then a few explosive waves with relatively large power occurr occasionally.
