A new method for automatic voice-quality registration is presented. The method is based on a technique called phonetography, which is the registration of the dynamic range of a voice as a function of fundamental frequency. In the new phonetogram-recording method fundamental frequency (F 0 ) and sound-pressure level (SPL) are automatically measured and represented in an XY-diagram. Three additional acoustical voice-quality parameters are measured simultaneously with F 0 and SPL: (a) jitter in the F 0 as a measure for roughness, (b) the SPL difference between the 0–1.5 kHz and the 1.5–5 kHz bands as a measure for sharpness, and (c) the vocal-noise level above 5 kHz as a measure for breathiness. With this method, the voice-quality parameter values, which may change substantially as a function of F 0 and SPL, are pinned to a reference position in the patient's total vocal range. Seen as a reference tool, the phonetogram opens the possibility for a more meaningful comparison of voice-quality data. Some examples, demonstrating the dependence of the chosen quality parameters on F 0 and SPL are given.

Experimental Preparation

Cheesemaking is one of the most complex technologies in dairy and cheese science as a product of this art enjoys a special status among dairy products thanks to its high-value ingredients. Facts about rich cheese culture and tradition affect the modern consumer society, occupied by brands and consumers, as a result, are no longer satisfied only with good products. Thus, cheese is ideal product for modern consumers. Upon this the idea of joining cheese and traditional Bosnian product - the prune was born. In this research the experimental preparation of thermally - acidic coagulating cheese with the addition of prune is presented with the assumption that this cheese is acceptable for consumers. The cheese was tested for chemical composition and the quality parameters and it is shown that the quality parameter values correspond to heat-acid coagulating cheese type. In order to examine the shelf life of the product cheese was stored for 5 and 10 days and the changes of that samples occurred were noted. As a fundamental part of the research to determine the acceptability of the product sensory analysis was performed and the research showed that the experimental product was 95% acceptable by consumers and 100% acceptable by panel of expert evaluators. The cheese cannot be stored for a long time and it is proper to be consumed in a fresh state.

The correlation between the service characteristics of the working surfaces of car parts belonging to the rotary body class, and quality parameters—in particular, the height-related roughness parameter Ra—was estimated. Low values of Ra were found to be unable to guarantee an optimal microrelief geometry and, accordingly, high-performance characteristics of the working surface. The oil-accumulation power of the parts was investigated as a primary characteristic of sliding friction using the group of Rk parameters in the Abbott–Firestone diagram, based on the profilogram of the test specimen’s surfaces. The oil-absorption power of the surfaces formed by different technological operations was compared with different microgeometric quality parameter values.

Mangrove is one of the coastal ecosystem is able to grow in fluctuating water conditions. Mangrove areas are found on the Nusa Lembongan island, Bali, is a ??mangrove ecosystem that have the unique characteristics of water area. The mangrove area is located on one of the small islands in Bali that have no source of freshwater input and there is the entrance of water into the mangrove forest. The uniqueness of waters in mangrove ecosystem will affect the type and density of fauna associated, particularly mollusca. Mollusca are one of the animals that live and thrive in the mangrove ecosystem. Therefore, it is necessary to study which aimed to provide a description of the water quality and mollusca on mangrove ecosystem in Nusa Lembongan. This research was conducted in June 2015 on a six station observation. Measurement of water quality conducted on four water parameters such as temperature, DO, pH, and salinity. Observation on the type and density of mollusca done using transects squared (1 x 1 meter). The range of values ??obtained water quality parameters, such as; 1) salinity (32.00-34.33 ppm), 2) pH (7.06-7.96), 3) temperature (27.27-30.13 Celsius), and 4) DO (2.60-6.90 mg/l). Water quality parameter values ??obtained are still in the range of water quality standard and suitable place to live and grow for marine biota life. Dissolved oxygen (DO) value was still below the threshold quality standard. There six families of mollusca found in six observation station, such as Neritidae, Littorinidae, Columbellidae, Olividae, Carditidae, Muricidae, Potamidae, Certthiidae. The highest density was in Family Potamidae (1.83 ind/m2), so the Family Potamidae is able to adapt and have a wide area deployment.

Reading Impairments

Text-to-speech (TTS) systems provide fundamental reading support for people with aphasia and reading difficulties. However, artificial voices are more difficult to process than natural voices. The current study is an extended analysis of the results of a clinical experiment investigating which, among three artificial voices and a digitised human voice, is more suitable for people with aphasia and reading impairments. Such results show that the voice synthesised with Ogmios TTS, a concatenative speech synthesis system, caused significantly slower reaction times than the other three voices used in the experiment. The present study explores whether and what voice quality metrics are linked to delayed reaction times. For this purpose, the voices were analysed using an automatic assessment of intelligibility, naturalness, and jitter and shimmer voice quality parameters. This analysis revealed that Ogmios TTS, in general, performed worse than the other voices in all parameters. These observations could explain the significantly delayed reaction times in people with aphasia and reading impairments when listening to Ogmios TTS and could open up consideration about which TTS to choose for compensative devices for these patients based on the voice analysis of these parameters.
