Petubation in the fundamental frequency and in the peak amplitude of the EGG signal derived with a four-electrode EGG system were investigated for the purpose of developing useful measures for the detection of layngeal pathology. The data were compared to the degree of amplitude perturbation and frequency perturbation. There was a close relation between amplitude perturbation and frequency perturbation analysis of EGG signal and degree of laryngeal pathology.

Change of voice, espicially hoarseness show irregular vibration of vocal cord. So, computerized acoustic analysis has presented many acoustic parameters for objective evaluation of voice. We objectively investigated the vocal vibration of normal persons and hoarseness patients in Korea. The RAP(relative average perturbation), PPQ(pitch period perturbation quotient) and APQ(amplitude perturbation quotient) of normal persons were compared with that of hoarseness patients with multidimensional voice program for the possibility of distinguishing the pathologic vocal vibration from normal. Authors agree that RAP, PPQ and APQ showed interesting differences between the normal and the hoarseness patients by the multivariate statistical analysis. In conculusion, relative average perturbation, pitch period perturbation and amplitude perturbation quotient might be meangingful screening parameters distinguishing hoarseness patients from normal.

The interface between fluids of different densities is unstable under acceleration by a shock wave. A previous small amplitude linear theory for the compressible Euler equation failed to provide a quantitatively correct prediction for the growth rate of the unstable interface. In this paper, to include dominant nonlinear effects in a large amplitude regime, we present high-order perturbation equations of the Euler equation, and boundary conditions for the contact interface and shock waves.

In this study, we have evaluated and classified arthritic pathology using the auscultation of knee joint sound. Six normal persons and 11 patients with knee problem were enrolled. Six patients of Group 1 needed an orthopeadic surgery because of the ruptured wounds of meniscus or ACL(Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and 5 patients of Group 2 diagnosed as osteoarthritis. Subjects were taken knee flexion and extension being seated in a chair for 20 seconds which repeated 3 times. Also subjects stood up and sit down repeatedly in the same way. After the movement of knee was divided into 18 degrees, the pitch perturbation according to partial degrees was analyzed and the DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) method was applied for normalizing a time-axis and unpaired t-test was used for statistic results among groups. As a result, the amplitude and frequency perturbations of group 2 was higher than group 1(p<0.05) and showed a characteristic 'w-shape' in angle-amplitude graph. These results suggest that the analysis of knee joint sound might assist in early diagnosis of knee joint disease.

According to recent studies by scientists about how to search for food, homes and the mates, it is found that the gradient information plays a key role. From cells to insects and large animals, they mostly either have special sensing organism or use a strategy to measure the gradient. Use of a perturbation as an additional input is introduced for sensor signal processing in order to get the gradient information. Different from typical approach, which calculates the gradient from differentiation, the proposed processing is done by a form of integration, thus it is very robust to noise. Discrete time domain analyses are given for one, two and three input functions for the estimation of the gradients. The amplitude and the frequency of the perturbation are two important parameters for this approach. A quantitative index to measure the effects of the amplitude is developed based on the linear regression analysis. The frequency of the perturbation is to be selected high enough to finish one period of the perturbation before the property is changed significantly with respect to time. Another quantitative index is proposed for guiding the selection of the frequency.

This paper describes a new method of estimating the gradient of a function with perturbation and correlation. We impose a known periodic perturbation to the input variable and observe the output of the function in order to obtain much richer and more reliable information. By taking the correlation between the input perturbation and the resultant function outputs, we can determine the gradient of the function. The computation of the correlation does not require derivatives; therefore the gradient can be estimated reliably. Robust estimation of the gradient using perturbation/correlation, which is very effective when an analytical solution is not available, is described. To verify the effectiveness of perturbation/correlation based estimation, the results of gradient estimation are compared with the analytical solutions of an example function. The effects of amplitude of the perturbation and number of samplings in a period are investigated. A minimization of a function with the gradient estimation method is performed.

Background and Objectives : The managements of unilateral vocal cord palsy include type Ⅰ thyroplasty and arytenoid adduction. One type operation has been shown no satisfactory effect. We evaluated preoperative and postoperative speech of unilateral vocal cord palsy patients who received combined operation of type Ⅰ thyroplasty and arytenoid adduction to help for the management plan of unilateral vocal cord palsy patients. Materials and Methods : We reviewed the postoperative results and complication of 17 surgically treated patients of unilateral vocal cord palsy at Severance hospital from Nov. 1996 to Dec. 1997 retrospectively. They were received combined operation of type Ⅰ thyroplasty and arytenoid adduction. Their pre and post-operative speech were analyzed with MDVP(Multi-Dimension-Voice analysis Program) of CSL(Computerized Speech Lab). Results : After the operation, MPT(Maximal Phonation Time) was increased and MFR(Mean Flow Rate) was decreased in all patients. NHR(Noise to Harmonic Ratio) and VTI(Voice Turbulence Index) were decreased : liner, RAP(Relative Average Perturbation Quotient), PPQ(Pitch Period Perturbation Quotient), sPPQ(smoothed Pitch Period Perturbation Quotient), vFo(fundamental frequency Variation) were decreased : Shimmer, APQ(Amplitude Perturbation Quotient), sAPQ(Smoothed Amplitude Perturbation Qoutient), vAm(Peak Amplitude Variation) were decreased in all the patients. Conclusions : In unilateral vocal cord pals), combined operation of type Ⅰ thyroplasty and arytenoid adduction could obtain satisfactory postoperative voice. MDVP has many parameters and good method for evaluation of voice surgery.

A bar with periodically nonuniform material properties is selected as a one-dimensional model of a flat-panel speaker. This paper describes a theoretical approach to the bending waves propagating i n the nonuniform bar. The phase speed of the wave is obtained using perturbation techniques for small amplitude, sinusoidal modulation of the flexural rigidity and mass density. It is shown that the wave speed is decreased due to the nonuniformity of the material properties by the amount proportional to the square of the modulation amplitude. The resonance occurring when the wavelength is half of the period of the material properties is analyzed by the method of multiple scales. It is also shown that the wave speed at the resonance mode is decreased by the amount proportional to the modulation amplitude but the wave of this mode does not propagate far enough due to attenuation.

The purpose of this study was to increase the current understanding of the acoustic characteristics of voices with advancing age. The relationship between age-related changes in body physiology and certain acoustic characteristics of voice was studied in a sample of 80 men representing four chronological age groupings (20-29, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79) who were all of good physical condition. Each subject was asked to phonate the vowel /a/, /i/, and /u/ for as long as possible at comfortable frequency and intensity level and read the sentence. A promising voice analysis program (Multi-Dimensional Voice $Program^{TM}$) was used to measure the fundamental frequency ($f_0$), jitter, shimmer, $f_0$ variation, peak-amplitude variation, smoothed pitch perturbation quotient, smoothed amplitude perturbation quotient, soft phonation index, $f_0$-tremor intensity index, amplitude tremor intensity index, and noise-to-harmonics ratio from the samples.

본 논문에서는 발성기관인 후두(glottis)의 기능을 평가하기 위하여 후두신호의 주파수 변동과 진폭변동의 영향을 분석하였다. 정상인의 EGG(electroglottograph)신호는 매개변수 방법을 이용하여 최적의 차수가 9차인 자귀회귀형 모델로 설명할 수 있으며, 이것은 전달함수를 결정함으로써 해석이 가능하다. EGG신호의 진푹과 주파수의 변동은 변복조방식의 4전극 EGG 시스템으로 얻어지며, 후두기능 상태식별을 목적으로 개발하였다. EGG를 이용하여 후두의 닫힘구간과 열림구간을 계산함으로써 비정상 EGG신호는 비주기적이며 불안정한 상태라는 것을 구별할 수 있었다. 정상과 비정상의 피검자들을 구분할 수 있는 파라미터인 주파수 변동은 정상인의 m$\pm$0.5*sd이고, 진폭변동은 m$\pm$2*sd가 각각 되었다. 또한 EGG신호를 Hillbert 변환함으로써 얻어진 궤적의 패턴을 이용하여 정상과 비정상의 후두기능상태를 효과적으로 분류할 수 있었다.
