Automatic Speech Recognition Systems for the Evaluation of Voice and Speech Disorders in Head and Neck Cancer

EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2010
In patients suffering from head and neck cancer, speech intelligibility is often restricted. For assessment and outcome measurements, automatic speech recognition systems have previously been shown to be appropriate for objective and quick evaluation of ...

Beyond Technological Maturity: Understanding the Institutional Trajectories of Carbon‐Derived Renewable Methane in the European Energy System

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that the limitation of bioCO2‐derived methane is systemic rather than technological, and provide a validated framework for traceability, certification, and policy alignment enabling its integration into RFNBO‐compliant value chains and EU energy systems. ABSTRACT Renewable methane derived from biogenic CO2 (bioCO2) occupies a paradoxical

Predicting the Intelligibility of Vocoded Speech [PDF]

Ear & Hearing, 2011
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a number of speech intelligibility indices in terms of predicting the intelligibility of vocoded speech.Noise-corrupted sentences were vocoded in a total of 80 conditions, involving three different signal-to-noise ratio levels (-5, 0, and 5 dB) and two types of maskers (steady state noise and ...

Unprecedented Wall‐Atomically Thick Bi5O7Br Nanotubes Embedding Abundant Bi Nanodots Boosting Efficiently Photothermal Coupling Catalytic CO2 Conversion

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Atomically thin Bi5O7Br nanotubes embedded with abundant Bi nanodots were constructed as an efficient photothermal catalyst for CO2 conversion. The localized surface plasmon resonance and photothermal effect of Bi nanodots synergistically enhance light harvesting, charge utilization, and reaction kinetics, resulting in significantly improved CO2 to CO ...

Circularity Before Strategy: Translating the Circular Economy for Environmental Policy and Governance in Emerging Economies

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy (CE) is now a cornerstone of global environmental policy. However, current debates often frame CE as a future‐oriented strategy to be adopted or scaled, implicitly assuming that emerging economies and the Global South are starting from strictly linear conditions. Drawing on practice‐oriented and institutional perspectives,

Comparing Speech Intelligibility in 3 to 5 Years Old Children with Cochlear Implants and Normal Children

Function and Disability Journal, 2018
Background and Objective: One of the positive outcomes of cochlear implantation is achieving intelligible speech. Therefore, the measurement of speech intelligibility is a standard criterion for assessing the effectiveness of cochlear implants (CIs). The

Relations Between the Intelligibility of Speech in Noise and Psychophysical Measures of Hearing Measured in Four Languages Using the Auditory Profile Test Battery

Trends in Hearing, 2015
The aim of the present study was to determine the relations between the intelligibility of speech in noise and measures of auditory resolution, loudness recruitment, and cognitive function. The analyses were based on data published earlier as part of the

Learning as Compost: Reorienting Evaluation in an Era of Authoritarian Drift

New Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We synthesize insights from seven cases to interrogate a central assumption of the learning function of evaluation: Learning can be strengthened through better design, integration, or alignment with accountability systems. Taking the issue's conceptual framework seriously, the essay reflects what the cases reveal about the nature of learning ...

Keeping their powder dry: Purity, pollution, and handgun ownership among Jewish women in Israel

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the gendered practices through which Jewish women in Israel experience and negotiate personal handgun ownership in everyday life. Drawing on interviews, participant observation in gun‐related spaces, and analysis of women‐only online forums, we explore the expanding participation of Jewish women in civilian gun ownership,
