The Physics of Speech
ISBN: 9780521293792 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The mechanism of speech is a very complex one and in order to undertake any analysis of language it is important to understand the processes that go to make up the message that a speaker transmits and a listener receives. Professor Fry therefore first takes the reader through the various stages of the speech chain: from language units to nerve impulses to muscle movements to sound waves, and vice versa as the message is received and decoded. He then explains the basic physical principles involved in the generation and propagation of sound energy and in the phenomenon of resonance. These...

Modeling Sensorineural Hearing Loss
ISBN: 9780805822304 / Angielski / Twarda / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A recent study indicates that 20 million people in the United States have significant sensorineural hearing loss.

How should we transform sounds to correct for the hearing loss and maximize restoration of normal hearing?
Answers to such questions require detailed models of the way... A recent study indicates that 20 million people in the United States have significant sensorineural hearing loss. Approximately 95% of those people ha...
