In an earlier study, we evaluated the effectiveness of several acoustic measures in predicting breathiness ratings for sustained vowels spoken by nonpathological talkers who were asked to produce nonbreathy, moderately breathy, and very breathy phonation (Hillenbrand, Cleveland, & Erickson, 1994). The purpose of the present study was to extend these results to speakers with laryngeal pathologies and to conduct tests using connected speech in addition to sustained vowels. Breathiness ratings were obtained from a sustained vowel and a 12-word sentence spoken by 20 pathological and 5 nonpathological talkers. Acoustic measures were made of (a) signal periodicity, (b) first harmonic amplitude, and (c) spectral tilt. For the sustained vowels, a frequency domain measure of periodicity provided the most accurate predictions of perceived breathiness, accounting for 92% of the variance in breathiness ratings. The relative amplitude of the first harmonic and two measures of spectral tilt correlated moderately with breathiness ratings. For the sentences, both signal periodicity and spectral tilt provided accurate predictions of breathiness ratings, accounting for 70%-85% of the variance.

A rock bolt refers to a reinforcing bar used commonly in geotechnical engineering. Also, defect identification of bolt anchorage system determines the safe operation of the reinforced structures. In the present paper, to accurately extract defect information, a CNN model based on time-frequency analysis is proposed, covering both time-domain and frequency-domain information. The effect of the number of convolution kernels on the defect identification results is discussed. By laboratory experiments, the performances of STFT-based CNN with those of time-domain input or frequency-domain input-based 1D CNN are compared, and the results demonstrate that the proposed method showed enhanced performance in identification accuracy.
