Control of voice gender in pre-pubertal children [PDF]
, 2013 Adult listeners are capable of identifying the gender of speakers as young as 4 years old from their voice. In the absence of a clear anatomical dimorphism in the dimensions of pre-pubertal boys' and girls' vocal apparatus, the observed gender ...

The most similar predictor – on selecting measurement locations for wind resource assessment [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2020 We present the “most similar” method for selecting optimal measurement positions for wind resource assessment. Wind resource assessment is generally done by extrapolating a measured and long-term corrected wind climate at one location to a prediction
