Akustičko–mehanički model govornog trakta

Modelling voice tract using an acoustical–mechanical analogy is shown in this article. The process of modelling voice tract is often reduced to one-dimensional acoustical model, i.e. planar waveguide model. With this acousticalmechanical model, computer programs are utilized to analyze and synthesize the voice tract. Hence, it is possible to calculate models which describe the voice tract with satisfactory quality and detail level and these models can be used in practice and applied to particular cases. In this article the process of producing a voice tract model is presented. The process includes the usage of three different computer programs, each of them dedicated to one segment of modelling. Recordings for three speakers were made and the analysis of voice parameters was performed. After the analysis is completed, a two-dimensional model of the voice tract was made, which resulted in a mechanical model consisting of specific number of tubes. Finally, the evaluation procedure for the model is done by applying a software developed specifically for this purpose, in order to determine whether the resulting model truly represents the voice tract of each speaker.Ovaj članak daje primjer izrade modela govornog trakta zasnovanog na akustičko-mehaničkim analogijama, za tri govornika, pomoću računalno zasnovanog sustava. Definiranje modela govornog trakta često se svodi na jednodimenzionalni akustički model, planarni valovodni model. Kad je napravljen akustičko-mehanički model, u analizu i sintezu uvode se računala i računalni programi. Pomoću njih se dobivaju modeli i izračuni koji sa zadovoljavajućom kvalitetom i preciznošću opisuju govorni trakt, pa takve modele možemo koristiti u praksi i primjenjivati na konkretne slučajeve. U članku su za dobivanje modela govornog trakta korištene tri različite programske podrške, svaka u svom segmentu izrade modela. Snimljena su tri govornika i napravljena je analiza glasa. Nakon toga je, opet koristeći računalo, izmodeliran dvodimenzionalni model govornog trakta, koji kao rezultat daje mehanički model s odre.enim brojem cjevčica. Na kraju je napravljena provjera tog modela sa programskom podrškom koja je napisana za tu svrhu, kako bi se utvrdilo da dobiveni model zaista predstavlja govorni trakt pojedinog govornika

BUILDING BRIDGES FOR INNOVATION IN AGEING : SYNERGIES BETWEEN ACTION GROUPS OF THE EIP ON AHA

The Strategic Implementation Plan of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA) proposed six Action Groups. After almost three years of activity, many achievements have been obtained through commitments or collaborative work of the Action Groups. However, they have often worked in silos and, consequently, synergies between Action Groups have been proposed to strengthen the triple win of the EIP on AHA. The paper presents the methodology and current status of the Task Force on EIP on AHA synergies. Synergies are in line with the Action Groups' new Renovated Action Plan (2016-2018) to ensure that their future objectives are coherent and fully connected. The outcomes and impact of synergies are using the Monitoring and Assessment Framework for the EIP on AHA (MAFEIP). Eight proposals for synergies have been approved by the Task Force: Five cross-cutting synergies which can be used for all current and future synergies as they consider overarching domains (appropriate polypharmacy, citizen empowerment, teaching and coaching on AHA, deployment of synergies to EU regions, Responsible Research and Innovation), and three cross-cutting synergies focussing on current Action Group activities (falls, frailty, integrated care and chronic respiratory diseases).Peer reviewe

E2LP: A unified embedded engineering learning platform

Conference of 16th Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design, DSD 2013 ; Conference Date: 4 September 2013 Through 6 September 2013; Conference Code:101116International audienceThe main idea behind this project is to provide a unified platform which will cover a complete process for embedded systems learning. A modular approach is considered for skills practice through supporting individualization in learning. This platform shall facilitate a novel development of universal approach in creative learning environment and knowledge management that encourage use of ICT. New learning model is challenging the education of engineers in embedded systems design through real-time experiments that stimulate curiosity with ultimate goal to support students to understand and construct their personal conceptual knowledge based on experiments. In addition to the technological approach, the use of cognitive theories on how people learn will help students to achieve a stronger and smarter adaptation of the subject. Applied methodology will be evaluated from the scientific point of view in parallel with the implementation in order to feedback results to the R&D
