4. Automatic Formant Tracking by a Newton-Raphson Technique.

Author

Olive, J. P.

Abstract

A wide range of speech investigation requires natural-sounding synthetic speech whose individual acoustic features-such as pitch, formants, and duration-can be varied independently. This study describes an algorithm for obtaining such synthetic speech by automatically analyzing natural speech to obtain data for the control of a formant synthesizer. The lowest three formants of natural speech were determined by finding simultaneous solutions of the least-square-fit equations by means of a Newton-Raphson technique. The data obtained from this formant analysis, together with pitch data which were also obtained automatically, were used for controlling a computer-simulated formant synthesizer. This algorithm was tested for various sentences and speakers, and the synthesized speech was found to be of good quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. The structural organization of calf retinal photoreceptors derived from freeze-fracture study

Abstract

Freeze-fracturing and double replica technique provided some evidence that the membranes of the outer segment of calf retina are asymmetric. The intramembranous particles, probably consisting of rhodopsin, exposed by the fracture, are apparently more strongly anchored to one half of the bilayer. These results are consistent with the molecular model of disc membrane suggesting that rhodopsin is associated only with one side of the membrane.

7. The Irish Precedent for English Church Reform: the Church Temporalities Act of 1833

Abstract

‘Ireland would ever seem to be the place of experiment, both of politics and of education, and a cloud of never-ending failures has encompassed her in both.’ This illuminating comment provides a perspective in which the whole peculiar and rather complex relationship between the two countries, so unnaturally yoked together, may be considered afresh. The role of Ireland as experiment and precedent for English legislation—since in many respects Ireland's condition was that of England ‘writ large’—made possible the breaking of new ground and ventures into new spheres of governmental action. In Education, the Irish situation led government into an admission of its responsibility for the education of the people by grants to the Kildare Place Society in 1815. Three decades of agitation and debate were needed in England before the same admission was made by the grant-in-aid of 1833, and the same relationship existed between Irish education experiments of the early 1830's and their later English equivalents.
