Companion animal-directed speech (CADS) has previously been investigated in comparison to infant-directed speech and adult-directed speech. To investigate the influence of owner caregiving, attachment pattern, and personality on CADS, we used the Ainsworth strange situation procedure. It allowed us to assess voice source parameters of CADS across different contexts. We extracted speech parameters (voicing duration, voice pitch, pitch range, and jitter) from 53 dog owners recorded during the procedure. We found that owner personality and gender but not caregiving/attachment behavior affect their voice’s pitch, range, and jitter during CADS. Further, we found a differential and context-specific modification of pitch and range, consistent with the idea that pitch communicates affect, whereas range is more of an attention-getting device. This differential usage, and the increased pitch, emphasize and support the parallels described between CADS and infant-directed speech. For the first time, we also show the effect of personality on CADS and lay the basis for including jitter as a potentially useful measure in CADS.

The source parameters describe the different physical properties of seismic volumes under the volcanoes. Source parameters that can be used to distinguish seismic events that are generated by different types of volcanoes activities. Temporary changes of the spectral source parameters provided a description of the main events during the eruption process.  Source parameters are calculated by correlating the relationship between source frequency at spectral displacement (corner frequency) and source parameters based on spectral sources of the Brune model (1970). The angular frequency obtained by applying the FFT algorithm to the VTA spectral displacement. The source parameters analyzed from this VTA earthquake are the spectral slope, seismic moment, stress drop, length of rupture, moment magnitude and radiation energy. Based on the obtained corner frequency (12 Hz-13 Hz), seismic moment, moment magnitude and energy radiation respectively were at 0.2 -1.9 x 1012 Nm, 0.7 - 2 Mw, and 0.1 - 9.5 x 1015 erg. The length of rupture were from 144.2 to 243.1 m, the spectra slope has 2.1 - 7.8 dB/cm, and stress drop are 0.1 - 7,6 bar. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the changes of spectra characteristic and fluctuate of source patrameters value of VTA earthquakes was asosiated with the different  volcanic activity of Sinabung. Keywords: spectral, VTA, source parameter, volcanic earthquake

abstract A theoretical relationship between seismic moment and local magnitude ML is derived from the relationship between magnitude ML and source dimension given by Randall (1973). For a circular fault of radius smaller than about 0.5 km, the magnitude ML is proportional to the logarithm of the seismic moment Mo, and these values alone cannot specify other source parameters. For greater radii the values of Mo and ML define Brune's (1970) far-field spectrum and in these cases other source characteristics can be readily obtained. The seismic moment can be estimated from the long-period amplitudes, and therefore the moment-magnitude relation provides a convenient method for determination of the source properties. The relationship between the logarithm of the various source parameters and seismic moment is considered for a number of regions and earthquake sequences. It appears to be of linear form and, furthermore, it seems that the same slope coefficient can be used in different regions. Source properties show regional differences, and the most suitable parameter to describe these differences is the average displacement. Besides the regional variations, there seems to be a time variation of source properties. This is the case for the Inangahua aftershock sequence, during which the variation of the displacement residuals correlates with the variation of the coefficient b, which defines the frequency-magnitude relation.
