This work examines the utility of formant frequencies and their energies in acoustic-to-articulatory inversion. For this purpose, formant frequencies and formant spectral amplitudes are automatically estimated from audio, and are treated as observations for the purpose of estimating electromagnetic articulography (EMA) coil positions. A mixture Gaussian regression model with mel-frequency cepstral (MFCC) observations is modified by using formants and energies to either replace or augment the MFCC observation vector. The augmented observation results in 3.4% lower RMS error, and 2% higher correlation coefficient, than the baseline MFCC observation. Improvement is especially good for stop consonants, possibly because formant tracking provides information about the acoustic resonances that would be otherwise unavailable during stop closure and release.

Energy spectrum of a 2D Dirac oscillator in the presence of a constant magnetic field and an antidot potential Akçay, Hüseyin; Sever, Ramazan (2016-07-04) We investigate the energy spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunctions of a 2D Dirac oscillator confined by an antidot potential in the presence of a magnetic field and Aharonov-Bohm flux field. Analytical solutions are obtained and compared with the results of the Schrodinger equation found in the literature. Further, the dependence of the spectrum on the magnetic quantum number and on the repulsive potential is discussed.
Electric quadrupole and magnetic octupole moments of the light decuplet baryons within light cone QCD sum rules Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Savcı, Mustafa (2009-11-02) The electric quadrupole and magnetic octupole moments of the light decuplet baryons are calculated in the framework of the light cone QCD sum rules. The obtained non-vanishing values for the electric quadrupole and magnetic octupole moments of these baryons show nonspherical charge distribution. The sign of electric quadrupole moment is positive for Omega(-). Xi*(-), Sigma*(-) and negative for Sigma*(+), which correspond to the prolate and oblate charge distributions, respectively. A comparison of the obtai...
Constitutive parameters determination of bi-anisotropic metamaterials using a waveguide method HASAR, UĞUR CEM; BUTE, MUSA; Muratoğlu, Abdurrahim; BAROSSO, JOSE JOAQUIM; KARACALI, TEVHİT; ERTUĞRUL, MEHMET (2016-01-04) A retrieval method is proposed for determination of electromagnetic properties of bi-anisotropic metamaterial (MM) slabs inserted in a waveguide. For this goal, forward and backward reflection and transmission scattering (S-) parameters of a configuration where the slab is positioned into a waveguide are first derived and then a procedure for extraction of electromagnetic properties of this slab is presented. We performed full-wave electromagnetic simulations on the bi-anisotropic MM slab with split-ring-re...
Nonlinear optical properties of a Poschl-Teller quantum well under electric and magnetic fields AYTEKİN, ÖZLEM; Turgut, Sadi; Tomak, Mehmet (2012-04-01) The nonlinear optical properties of a Poschl-Teller Quantum well (PTQW) under electric and magnetic fields are studied. The salient feature of this potential is its flexibility. It can be made asymmetrical by a proper choice of its two parameters. Optical rectification, second and third-harmonic generation susceptibilities are calculated using the density matrix formalism. We study the effects of quantum confinement, electric and magnetic fields on all of these optical coefficients.
Spin–orbit effects on the nonlinear optical properties of a quantum dot in simultaneous electric and magnetic fields Aytekin, O.; Turgut, Sadi; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2014-11) We report on the nonlinear optical properties of a quantum dot including the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) with external electric and magnetic fields. The effect of dot size is considered. We do not make any assumptions about the strength of the confinement. We use the numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian to determine the electronic structure. The confining potential is taken to be of the Woods-Saxon type. We find the effect of RSOI on nonlinear optical coefficients.
