Multi-parametric source-filter separation of speech and prosodic voice restoration

In this thesis, methods and models are developed and presented aiming at the estimation, restoration and transformation of the characteristics of human speech. During a first period of the thesis, a concept was developed that allows restoring prosodic voic ...

Role of proteins in the controlling selenium nanoparticle size

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Jan Dobias, Elena Suvorova Buffat

This work investigates the potential for harnessing the association of bacterial proteins to biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to control the size distribution and the morphology of the resultant SeNPs. We conducted a proteomic study and compared pro ...

Biomechanical, morphological and zero-stress state characterization of jugular vein remodeling in arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

While the role of hemodynamic variables on the development of intimal hyperplasia in arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis has been examined, less is known about the intramural biomechanical factors. In this study, arteriovenous fistulas were created by ...

Impact de la communication voco-visuelle dans le management sur la motivation des collaborateurs

Our research work wishes to highlight the importance of the relationship between the vocal and physical behaviour of the manager and team motivation. In order to investigate this important relationship, a survey by means of a questionnaire and two field st ...

How does a dictation machine recognize speech?

Hervé Bourlard

There is magic (or is it witchcraft?) in a speech recognizer that transcribes continuous radio speech into text with a word accuracy of even not more than 50%. The extreme difficulty of this task, tough, is usually not perceived by the general public. This ...

Multisensory integration of dynamic voices and faces in the monkey brain

Henry Markram, Catherine Perrodin

[...] Primates are social animals whose communication is based on their conspecifics' vocalizations and facial expressions. Although a lot of work to date has studied the unimodal representation of vocal or facial information, little is known about the way ...

Effect of elastin degradation on carotid wall mechanics as assessed by a constituent-based biomechanical model

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Luca Augsburger, Edouard Fonck, Gilles Prod'Hom

Arteries display a nonlinear anisotropic behavior dictated by the elastic properties and structural arrangement of its main constituents, elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth muscle. Elastin provides for structural integrity and for the compliance of the ...

Nonlinear modelling of double and triple period pitch breaks in vocal fold vibration

Auke Ijspeert, Jonas Buchli, Fritz Menzer

This paper reports a study on short-time subharmonic pitch breaks in vocal fold vibration, which are found to be a common feature of the human voice in spoken language. The observed pitch breaks correspond to a change in periodicity of the electrolaryngogr ...

Dual-color total internal reflection fluorescence cross- correlation spectroscopy

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Rainer Leitgeb

We present the development and first application of a novel dual-color total internal reflection (TIR) fluorescence system for single-molecule coincidence analysis and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS). As a performance analysis, we measur ...

The role of inhibition in motor control of finger functions

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

The motor actions that can be witnessed as a virtuoso musician performs can be so fast, so accomplished, so precise, as to seem somehow superhuman. The musician has to produce the movements, monitor those they have already made and the subsequent result, c ...
