The effects of acoustic excitation of coaxial air on mixing enhancement and reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission were investigated. A compression driver was attached to the coaxial air supply tube to impose excitation. Measurements of NOx emission with frequency sweeping were performed to observe the trend of NOx emission according to the fuel and air flow conditions and to inquire about the effective excitation frequency for reducing NOx. Then, Schlieren photographs were taken to visualize the flow field and to study the effect of excitation. In addition, phase-locked particle image velocimetry (PIV) was performed to acquire velocity field for each case and to investigate the effect of vortices more clearly. Direct photographs and OH chemiluminescence photographs were taken to study the variation of flame length and reaction zone. It was found that acoustic forcing frequencies close to the resonance frequencies of coaxial air supply tube could reduce NOx emission. This NOx reduction was influenced by mixing enhancement due to large-scale vortices formed by fluctuation of coaxial air jet velocity.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences of the speech rate according to the area in the perceptual and acoustic analysis. This study examines regional variation in overall speech rate and articulation rate across speaking situations (picture description, free conversation and story retelling) with 14 normal adult (7 in Gyeongnam and 7 in Honam area). The result of an experimental investigation shows that the perceptual speech rate differs significantly between two regional varieties of Koreans with a picture description examined here. A group of Honam speakers spoke significantly faster than a group of Gyeongnam speakers. However, the result of the acoustic analysis shows that the speech rate of the two groups did not differ. And there were significant regional differences in the overall speech rate and articulation rate on the other two speaking situation, free conversation and story retelling. It suggest that we have to study perceptual evaluation with regard to the free conversation and story retelling in future research, and based on the results of this study, a variety of researches on the speech rate will be needed on the various conditions, including various area and SLPs who have wider background and experiences. It is necessary for SLPs to train and experience more to assess patients properly and reliably.

Noise generated from wind turbines has been predicted by numerical methods. Sound pressure level(SPL) on the turbines is predicted after aerodynamic analysis is carried out by Wind Turbine Flow, Aeroacoustics and Structure analysis (WINFAS) code. The level of each panel of acoustic sphere is determined by the sum of tonal, turbulence ingestion and airfoil self noise. With the noise source database, the acoustic sphere, SPL on the ground is calculated using the model based on acoustic ray theory. The model has been designed to consider the effects on the condition of terrain and atmosphere. The variations of SPL on the ground occur not only because of the different source level but also because of the nonuniform distributions of the sound speed along the height. Hence, the profile of an effective sound speed which is the sum of the contribution of sound speed to a temperature gradient and a wind speed variation is used by the theory based on atmospheric stability. With the integrated numerical method, the prediction of sound propagation on the wind farm is carried out with the states of the atmospheric stability.

본 논문은 이중모음을 분류하기 위한 음향음성학적 파라메터를 연구하였다. 음향음성학적 파라메터는 성도를 통해 음성이 발성될 때 나타나는 특징을 기반으로 하여 분산분석(ANOVA) 방법을 통해 선별한 모음의 길이, 에너지 궤적, 그리고 포먼트의 차이를 이용하였다. TIMIT 데이터 베이스를 사용하였을 때, 단모음과 이중모음만을 구분하는 실험에서는 17.8% 의 밸런스 에러율(BER)을 얻을 수 있었고, /aw/, /ay/, 그리고 /oy/를 단모음과 분류하는 실험에서는 각각 32.9%, 29.9%, 그리고 20.2%의 에러율을 얻을 수 있었다. 추가적으로 진행한 실험에서, 음향음성학적 파라메터와 음성인식에 널리 쓰이고 있는 MFCC를 함께 사용하였을 경우 역시 성능향상이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

해양에서는 파도, 빗방울 등 해수면에 일어나는 많은 물과 물의 충돌, 해양에서 운행되는 선박, 여러 해양 생물들의 생명활동 그리고 여러 발생 원들에 의해 많은 기포들이 생성될 수 있다. 이렇게 생성된 기포들은 해양에서 사용되는 음파의 세기와 음속에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 2007년 9월 19일 04:00 부터 17:00 까지 남해 남형제도 해역에서 Acoustic Bubble Spectrometer (ABS)와 CTD를 사용하여 해양 기포생성과 생성기포가 음파에 미치는 영향을 관측하였다. 관측자료를 통하여 풍속과 기포생성의 연관성, 기포의 반경에 따른 기포량, 주파수별 음속비를 분석하였다. 최종적으로 분석자료를 통해 기포가 음파전달에 미치는 영향을 모의하였다.

Anatomic and physiological changes of the larynx with advancing age result in morphologic changes of the vocal fold and reduced control of the phonatory mechanism in elderly individuals and are reflected in increased unstability of fundamental frequency (Fo). The purpose of this study is to increase current understanding of acoustic and stroboscopic characteristics of normal elderly persons voices. First, phonated /a/ vowel productions by 40 normal adults (20 to 40 years, 20 men and 20 women) and 40 normal elderly persons (60 to 80 years,20 men and 20 women) were analyzed, using CSL (model 4300B) acoustic analysis software, to obtain acoustic measures related to fundamental frequency stability nd vocal resonance characteristics. Second, stroboscopic images of the vocal fold behavior in all subjects were analyzed by experienced specialists. In the men, fundamental frequency variation (vFe) (p＜0.01), jitter. (p＜0.05), and shimmer (p＜0.05) for the older group were significantly higher than the value for the adult group. In the stroboscopic findings, edema of vocal fold had a significant finding in aged men (15%). In the women, vFo (p＜0.05), jitter (p＜0.05), and noise to harmonic ratio (NHR) (p＜0.05) for the older group were significantly higher than the value for e adult group and first formant frequency (F1) (p＜0.01) and second formant frequency (F2) (p＜0.01) for. the older group were significantly lower than the value for the adult group. In the stroboscopic findings, vocal fold atrophy had a significant finding in aged women (25%). Frequency stability, as reflected by vFo, jitter, shimmer, and NHR, decreases with advancing age in men and women and spectral analysis of phonated /a/ vowel productions reveals the lowering of the frequency of F1 and second F2 with advancing age, especially in aged women. Change in the mass of vocal folds, due to atrophy or edema, is considered to be the greatest factor in these acoustic changes.

본 연구에서는 횡단류 공기유동에 수직으로 분사되는 액체제트의 분열거리와 액주궤적에 대한 음향가진의 영향을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 단공 원형노즐 분사기를 이용하여 동일한 횡단류 공기속도에서 분사압력과 음향가진의 크기를 변화시켜가며 수류실험을 수행하였다. 또한 음향가진 주파수 기준 12개의 위상각에서 분무 이미지를 얻어 위상각 변화에 따른 영향을 확인하였다. 실험결과 분열길이는 비가진 상태에 비해 음향가진 상태에서 전반적으로 감소하였지만 위상각에 따른 변화는 발견되지 않았다. 본 실험 범위 내에서 음향가진은 수직분사 액체제트의 액주궤적에 거의 영향을 주지 못하였다.

This study attempted to compare acoustic parameters, physiological observation and perceptual evaluation values obtained from the treatment and control groups in order to find out which of the self voice feedback therapies was better and which methods to train them were more effective. The experimental group carried out various self voice feedback therapies while the control group did only vocal hygiene. The acoustic measurement and voice manipulation for providing the patients visual, auditory feedback were done by a speech analysis software, Praat. The authors designed vocal hygiene, abdominal respiration and Praat self voice feedback therapies and applied them to 15 patients while applying only one vocal hygiene to 15 of the control group. For the purpose of examining the degree of their voice improvement after the treatment, pre- mid- and final evaluations were made for the two groups at the beginning, the 6th week and immediately after the 8th treatment session. Results of this study were as follows: The treatment group showed much improvement after receiving the voice treatment. In particular, acoustical and physiological indices from the optical endoscopy, pitch variation(Jitter), amplitude variation (Shimmer), maximum phonation time(MPT), and psychoacoustic evaluation showed statistically significant improvements over the control groups.
