Theoretical Modeling of Viscosity Monitoring with Vibrating Resonance Energy Transfer for Point-of-Care and Environmental Monitoring Applications
(MDPI, 2018-12-21)
Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two molecules in nanoscale distances is utilized in significant number of applications including biological and chemical applications, monitoring cellular activities, sensors, ...
Design, Fabrication and Testing of a High-Sensitive Fibre Sensor for Tip Clearance Measurements
(MDPI, 2018-08)
A highly sensitive fibre bundle-based reflective optical sensor has been designed and fabricated for Tip Clearance measurements in a turbine rig. The sensor offers high spatial and temporal resolution. The sensor probe ...
Monitoring Chest Compression Quality During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Proof-Of-Concept Of A Single Accelerometer-Based Feedback Algorithm
(Public Library Science, 2018-02-14)
Background
The use of real-time feedback systems to guide rescuers during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) significantly contributes to improve adherence to published resuscitation guidelines. Recently, we designed ...
Enhancing ventilation detection during cardiopulmonary resuscitation by filtering chest compression artifact from the capnography waveform
(Public Library Science, 2018-08-02)
Background
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), there is a high incidence of capnograms distorted by chest compression artifact. This phenomenon adversely affects the reliability of automated ventilation detection ...
LSTM based voice conversion for laryngectomees
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
This paper describes a voice conversion system designed withthe aim of improving the intelligibility and pleasantness of oe-sophageal voices. Two different systems have been built, oneto transform the spectral magnitude ...
The observation likelihood of silence: analysis and prospects for VAD applications
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
This paper shows a research on the behaviour of the observa-tion likelihoods generated by the central state of asilenceHMM(Hidden Markov Model) trained for Automatic Speech Recog-nition (ASR) using cepstral mean and variance ...
Listening to Laryngectomees: A study of Intelligibility and Self-reportedListening Effort of Spanish Oesophageal Speech
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
Oesophageal speakers face a multitude of challenges, such asdifficulty in basic everyday communication and inability to in-teract with digital voice assistants. We aim to quantify the diffi-culty involved in understanding ...
RESTORE Project: REpair, STOrage and REhabilitation of speech
(International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
RESTORE is a project aimed to improve the quality of commu-nication for people with difficulties producing speech, provid-ing them with tools and alternative communication services. Atthe same time, progress will be made ...
An on-line VAD based on Multi-Normalisation Scoring (MNS) of observation likelihoods
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018-05-31)
Voice activity detection (VAD) is an essential task in expert systems that rely on oral interfaces. The VAD module detects the presence of human speech and separates speech segments from silences and non-speech noises. The ...
Analysis, overview and creation of an Arabic LVCSR
(2018-10-10)
As the standardized version of the Arabic Language, Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the most prevalent form of this language. MSA is also the third most spoken language in the world with over 300 million speakers. Moreover, ...
