Dynamic Acoustic -Articulatory Relations
… on the contribution of tongue movement to area function dynamics, rather than on the movement of individual points of the tongue. Tongue movement is constrained to influence area function change only at locations in the vocal tract where a linguistic task is specified. The patterns are a …

Formant Deflection Directions of the Voiced Alveolar Stop Consonant in Different Vowel Contexts
A parametric model of the vocal tract area function was used to synthesize a series of alveolar stop consonant constrictions imposed on nine /VV/ transitions (e.g., /idae/). The constrictions differed in spatial characteristics, places of occurrence along the vocal tract length, and the onset and …

DEVELOPMENT OF DEM-BASED METHOD FOR MAPPING STREAM POWER DISTRIBUTION OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO STREAMS
… and combining them with a discharge-drainage area function. Using the case of Highland Creek, a highly urbanized basin in Scarborough Ontario for which extensive data and background information is available, it is shown that reliable and precise stream power maps can be obtained from the …

An investigation of speech synthesis parameters
… direct form; (3) reflection coefficients; (4) area function; (5) parallel resonance; and (6) a simple articulatory model. Types (2,3,4) are three varieties of linear predictive coding (LPC) parameters. There are five parts to the investigation: (1) an historical survey of models for speech …

The role of interfacial and 'entropic' enzymes in transitory starch degradation : a mathematical modeling approach
… the method is the introduction of the available area function - a concept from surface physics - to describe the adsorption step in the catalytic cycle. The method is applied to derive rate laws for two hydrolases, the Beta-amylase (BAM3) and the Isoamylase (DBE/ISA3), as well as to the Glucan, …

Effects of ear-canal geometry and middle-ear pressure on wideband acoustic reflectance
… describe and extract the effects of a variable-area probe tip on WAI measurement. This procedure is effective up to at least 3-5 [kHz], depending on the quality of the probe calibration. (2) Reflectance factorization: Complex reflectance data may be fit to a pole-zero model, and factored into …
