Confirmation
Confirmation strengthens and empowers those who receive it through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It deepens one's union with the Church and commitment to spreading the faith. Biblically, it traces its origins to Acts when the Apostles laid hands on baptized believers and they received the Holy Spirit. Today, Confirmation is celebrated through anointing with chrism, the laying on of hands by the bishop, and a promise to live as a faithful witness to Christ and his Church.

Energy distribution in formant bands for arabic vowels
The acoustic cues play a major role in speech segmentation phase; the extraction of these indexes facilitates the characterization of the speech signal. In this work, we aim to study Arabic vowels (/a/, /a:/, /i/, /i:/, /u/ and /u:/), especially the long ones. We are interested in characterizing this type of vowels in terms of time, frequency and energy. The cues extracted and analyzed in this work are: segment length, voicing degree and formants values.

Inhibitory Influences on Asychrony as a Cue for Auditory Segregation
Auditory grouping involves the formation of auditory objects from the sound mixture
reaching the ears. The cues used to integrate or segregate these sounds and so form auditory
objects have been defined by several authors (e.g., Bregman, 1990; Darwin, 1997; Darwin &
Carlyon, 1995). The key acoustic cues for segregating concurrent acoustic elements are
differences in onset time (e.g., Dannenbring & Bregman, 1978; Rasch, 1978) and harmonic
relations (e.g., Brunstrom & Roberts, 1998; Moore, Glasberg, & Peters, 1986). In an example of
the importance of onset time, Darwin (1984a, 1984b) showed that increasing the level of a
harmonic near the first formant (F1) frequency by adding a synchronous pure tone changes the
phonetic quality of a vowel. However, when the added tone began a few hundred milliseconds
before the vowel, it was essentially removed from the vowel percept.… [section continues].
General Method
Overview
In the experiments reported here, we used a paradigm developed by Darwin to assess the
perceptual integration of additional energy in the F1 region of a vowel through its effect on
phonetic quality (Darwin, 1984a, 1984b; Darwin & Sutherland, 1984).…[section continues].
Stimuli
Amplitude and phase values for the vowel harmonics were obtained from the vocal-tract
transfer function using cascaded formant resonators (Klatt, 1980). F1 values varied in 10-Hz
steps from 360–550 Hz—except in Experiment 3, which used values from 350– 540 Hz—to
produce a continuum of 20 tokens.…[section continues].

Characterization of Arabic sibilant consonants
The aim of this study is to develop an automatic speech recognition system in order to classify sibilant Arabic consonants into two groups: alveolar consonants and post-alveolar consonants. The proposed method is based on the use of the energy distribution, in a consonant-vowel type syllable, as an acoustic cue. The application of this method on our own corpus reveals that the amount of energy included in a vocal signal is a very important parameter in the characterization of Arabic sibilant consonants. For consonants classifications, the accuracy achieved to identify consonants as alveolar or post-alveolar is 100%. For post-alveolar consonants, the rate is 96% and for alveolar consonants, the rate is over 94%. Our classification technique outperformed existing algorithms based on support vector machines and neural networks in terms of classification rate.

This document discusses voice modification techniques. It compares four models for voice modification: LPC, H/S, TD-PSOLA, and MBR-PSOLA. TD-PSOLA relies on pitch-synchronous overlap-add and modifies the speech signal in the time domain based on analysis and synthesis markings. The document implements a voice modification system using TD-PSOLA that can modify vocal tract, pitch, and time scale parameters to change voice quality, such as making a female voice sound more husky or nasal. Results show the algorithm can effectively modify input voices as desired.

The document discusses different components and methods of text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis systems. It describes a typical TTS system as having a high-level component that converts input text to a phonetic representation and a low-level component that generates the audio output. The low-level component can use either formant synthesis, which generates parameters for vocal tract filters, or waveform concatenation, which joins prerecorded speech units. The document also examines choices for the size of the stored speech units used in concatenation systems, such as words, phones, and diphones.

This document summarizes a study that analyzed the effect of prosody on the temporal realization of segments in Chinese. The study examined how prosodic word boundaries and prosodic phrase boundaries impact the voice onset time (VOT) of consonants and duration of vowels. Key findings include: 1) Vowels preceding prosodic phrase boundaries were longer than those preceding prosodic word boundaries; 2) Place of articulation of the second consonant also impacted vowel duration; 3) VOT of initial consonants was affected by prosody but not place of articulation; 4) VOT of final consonants was impacted by place of articulation but not prosody. The results demonstrate the interaction between prosodic structure and segmental temporal realization

This document summarizes an experiment that tested how the frequency of vowels in different contexts affects listeners' perceptual compensation for coarticulation. Participants were exposed to speech stimuli that varied the frequency of vowels before /i/ or /a/. Their ability to compensate for coarticulation on a vowel identification task was then tested. The results showed that perceptual compensation was affected by the relative frequency of vowels in different contexts, either being exaggerated or ameliorated depending on the exposure condition. This suggests frequency information influences speech perception and could lead to systematic sound changes through misperception over time.

This work presents an application of Fundamental Frequency (Pitch), Linear Predictive Cepstral Coefficient
(LPCC) and Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) in identification of sex of the speaker in speech
recognition research. The aim of this article is to compare the performance of these three methods for
identification of sex of the speakers. A successful speech recognition system can help in non critical operations
such as presenting the driving route to the driver, dialing a phone number, light switch turn on/off, the coffee
machine on/off etc. apart from speaker verification-caste wise, community wise and locality wise including
identification of sex. Here an attempt has been made to identify the sex of Bodo speakers through vowel
utterance by following Pitch value, LPCC and MFCC techniques. It is found here that the feature vector
organization of LPCC coefficients provides a more promising way of speech-speaker recognition in case of
Bodo Language than that of Pitch and MFCC.

Simulation of human vocal tract model is necessary to understand the effect of different conditions on speech generation. In natural calamities such as earthquakes person may swallow soil due to large amount of dust around. The effect of soil is investigated on the sound pressure in the human vocal tract. The generation of speech starts from the glottis, so the soil obstacle is positioned near it. The whole model is designed and analyzed using FEM. As the speech signal requires a bandwidth near about 4 kHz, the investigation carried out to obtained sound pressure in the human vocal tract from 100-5000 Hz sound signals.

Signal processing in current days is under studying. One of these studies focuses on speech processing. Speech signal have many important features. One of them is Voice Onset Time (VOT). This feature only appears in stop sounds. The human auditory system can utilize the VOT to differentiate between voiced and unvoiced stops like /p/ and /b/ in the English language. By VOT feature we can classify and detect languages and dialects. The main reason behind choosing this subject is that the researches in analyzing Arabic language in this field are not enough and automatic detection of VOT value in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is a new idea.
In this paper, we will focus on designing an algorithm that will be used to detect the VOT value in MSA language automatically depending on the power signal. We apply this algorithm only on the voiced stop sounds /b/, /d/ and /d?/, and compare that VOT values automatically generated by the algorithm with the manual values calculated by reading the spectrogram. We created the corpus, and used CV-CV-CV format for each word, the target stop consonant is in the middle of word. The algorithm resulted in a high accuracy, and the error rate was 0.80%, 26.62% and 11.71% for the three stop voiced sounds /d/, /d? / and /b/ respectively . The standard deviation was low in /d/ sound because it is easy to pronounce, and high in /d?/ sound because it is uniqueand difficult to pronounce.

Wavelet Based Feature Extraction for the Indonesian CV Syllables Sound
This paper proposes the combined methods of Wavelet Transform (WT) and Euclidean Distance
(ED) to estimate the expected value of the possibly feature vector of Indonesian syllables. This research
aims to find the best properties in effectiveness and efficiency on performing feature extraction of each
syllable sound to be applied in the speech recognition systems. This proposed approach which is the
state-of-the-art of the previous study consist of three main phase. In the first phase, the speech signal is
segmented and normalized. In the second phase, the signal is transformed into frequency domain by using
the WT. In the third phase, to estimate the expected feature vector, the ED algorithm is used. Th e result
shows the list of features of each syllables can be used for the next research, and some recommendations
on the most effective and efficient WT to be used in performing syllable sound recognition.

This document summarizes a study that investigated how modifying the duration of acoustic cues in fricative consonants affects perception of voicing and place of articulation. The study synthesized fricative-vowel syllables with selective time expansions of fricative noise duration and vowel formant transition duration. Listeners then identified voicing and place of articulation in the syllables in quiet and noise conditions. Results showed that lengthening formant transitions significantly improved place of articulation identification, while lengthening noise duration had little effect on voicing or place cues. The study aimed to determine how clear speech production features like expanded durations can enhance perception of fricatives.
DYNAMIC PHONE WARPING – A METHOD TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PRONUNCIATIONS
Human beings generate different speech waveforms while speaking the same word at different times. Also, different human beings have different accents and generate significantly varying speech waveforms for the same word. There is a need to measure the distances between various words which facilitate preparation of pronunciation dictionaries. A new algorithm called Dynamic Phone Warping (DPW) is presented in this paper. It uses dynamic programming technique for global alignment and shortest distance measurements. The DPW algorithm can be used to enhance the pronunciation dictionaries of the well-known languages like English or to build pronunciation dictionaries to the less known sparse languages. The precision measurement experiments show 88.9% accuracy.

To Improve Speech Recognition in Noise for Cochlear Implant Users
This document describes two experiments that test hypotheses about how to improve speech recognition in noise for cochlear implant users. The first experiment investigates whether providing access to clean obstruent consonants results in masking release for implant users. The results support this hypothesis, showing improved recognition when obstruents were clean, especially at low signal-to-noise ratios. The second experiment tests whether less compression of unvoiced segments makes acoustic landmarks more evident, again improving noise recognition. The results suggest this selective compression approach provides benefits over traditional logarithmic compression. Overall, the findings indicate that better conveying obstruent and vowel/consonant boundary cues has potential to enhance noise robustness for cochlear implant listeners.

This document discusses novel cochlear filter based cepstral coefficients (CFCC) for classification of unvoiced fricatives. The authors propose using CFCC features derived from an auditory transform implemented as a bank of cochlear filters to model the human auditory system. Experimental results show CFCC performs better than MFCC for individual fricative classification, with an average 3.41% higher accuracy in clean conditions and lower error rates. CFCC also shows better noise robustness, with classification accuracy dropping less in noisy conditions compared to MFCC. The document provides background on previous work classifying fricatives, details of the proposed CFCC feature extraction method, and comparisons of auditory transforms to Fourier transforms

This document summarizes a study on independent speaker recognition for native English vowels. The study used a standard approach for vowel classification based on formant frequencies, which depend on vocal tract shape and dimensions. Formants F1 and F2 were extracted from speech samples and used as features. Euclidean distance was used to measure similarity between test samples and reference formant values. The method achieved 80-95% recognition accuracy for vowels from male and female speakers. Vowels /a/ and /o/ had the highest recognition rates while /e/ and /i/ were more likely to be confused due to inter-speaker variation. The study demonstrated the viability of using formant frequencies for automatic vowel and speaker recognition.

This document summarizes a study that investigated how modifying the duration of acoustic cues in fricative consonants affects perception of voicing and place of articulation. The study synthesized fricative-vowel syllables with selective time expansions of fricative noise duration and vowel formant transition duration. Listeners then identified voicing and place of articulation in the syllables in quiet and noise conditions. Results showed that lengthening formant transitions significantly improved place of articulation identification, while lengthening noise duration had little effect on voicing or place cues. The study aimed to determine how clear speech production features like expanded durations can enhance perception of fricatives.
DYNAMIC PHONE WARPING – A METHOD TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PRONUNCIATIONS
Human beings generate different speech waveforms while speaking the same word at different times. Also, different human beings have different accents and generate significantly varying speech waveforms for the same word. There is a need to measure the distances between various words which facilitate preparation of pronunciation dictionaries. A new algorithm called Dynamic Phone Warping (DPW) is presented in this paper. It uses dynamic programming technique for global alignment and shortest distance measurements. The DPW algorithm can be used to enhance the pronunciation dictionaries of the well-known languages like English or to build pronunciation dictionaries to the less known sparse languages. The precision measurement experiments show 88.9% accuracy.

To Improve Speech Recognition in Noise for Cochlear Implant Users
This document describes two experiments that test hypotheses about how to improve speech recognition in noise for cochlear implant users. The first experiment investigates whether providing access to clean obstruent consonants results in masking release for implant users. The results support this hypothesis, showing improved recognition when obstruents were clean, especially at low signal-to-noise ratios. The second experiment tests whether less compression of unvoiced segments makes acoustic landmarks more evident, again improving noise recognition. The results suggest this selective compression approach provides benefits over traditional logarithmic compression. Overall, the findings indicate that better conveying obstruent and vowel/consonant boundary cues has potential to enhance noise robustness for cochlear implant listeners.

This document discusses novel cochlear filter based cepstral coefficients (CFCC) for classification of unvoiced fricatives. The authors propose using CFCC features derived from an auditory transform implemented as a bank of cochlear filters to model the human auditory system. Experimental results show CFCC performs better than MFCC for individual fricative classification, with an average 3.41% higher accuracy in clean conditions and lower error rates. CFCC also shows better noise robustness, with classification accuracy dropping less in noisy conditions compared to MFCC. The document provides background on previous work classifying fricatives, details of the proposed CFCC feature extraction method, and comparisons of auditory transforms to Fourier transforms

This document summarizes a study on independent speaker recognition for native English vowels. The study used a standard approach for vowel classification based on formant frequencies, which depend on vocal tract shape and dimensions. Formants F1 and F2 were extracted from speech samples and used as features. Euclidean distance was used to measure similarity between test samples and reference formant values. The method achieved 80-95% recognition accuracy for vowels from male and female speakers. Vowels /a/ and /o/ had the highest recognition rates while /e/ and /i/ were more likely to be confused due to inter-speaker variation. The study demonstrated the viability of using formant frequencies for automatic vowel and speaker recognition.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
