Rolling element bearings are one of the fundamental and most important elements in
machines and their failures are among the foremost frequent causes of machine breakdown …

Purpose To determine the relative importance of acoustic parameters (fundamental
frequency [F0], formant frequencies [FFs], aperiodicity, and spectrum level [SL]) on voice …

A controversial issue in neurolinguistics is whether basic neural auditory representations
found in many animals can account for human perception of speech. This question was …

Fast kurtogram (FK) is an effective tool in fault diagnosis, but it still has two defects. Firstly, its
indicator is easy to be affected by the random impact. Secondly, its fixed frequency band …

De-noising and enhancement of the weak fault signature from the noisy signal are crucial for
fault diagnosis, as features are often very weak and masked by the background noise …

The need for automatic machine monitoring has been well known in industries for many
years. Although it has been widely accepted that a change in the structural property can …

This paper describes a new algorithm for automatically detecting creak in speech signals.
Detection is made by utilising two new acoustic parameters which are designed to …

Abstract Changes in speech production that occur as a result of psychomotor slowing, a key
feature of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), are used to non-invasively diagnose MDD. In …

This paper aims to strengthen the link between acoustic and perceptual representations of
intonation, a link that has been weakened by the over-reliance on the F0 trajectory, which …

Heart sound is a valuable biosignal for diagnosis of a large set of cardiac diseases. Ambient
and physiological noise interference is one of the most usual and highly probable incidents …
