AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We present a new approach to the investigation of dynamic ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) data, applied here to analyse the subtle aspects of the fluency of people who stutter (PWS). Fluent productions of CV syllables (C = /k/; V = /ɑ, i, ə/) from three PWS and three control speakers (PNS) were analysed for duration and peak velocity relative to articulatory movement towards (onset) and away from (offset) the consonantal closure. The objective was to apply a replicable methodology for kinematic investigation to speech of PWS in order to test Wingate's Fault-Line hypothesis. As was hypothesised, results show comparable onset behaviours for both groups. Regarding offsets, groups differ in peak velocity. Results suggest that PWS do not struggle initiating consonantal closure (onset). In transition from consonantal closure into the vowel, however, groups appear to employ different strategies expressed in increased variation (PNS) versus decreased mean peak velocity (PWS).

Analyzing the uniformity of ammonia distribution at the inlet of selective catalytic reduction reactors is crucial for enhancing denitrification efficiency. To minimize ammonia slip while ensuring effective denitrification, this study examines ammonia flow characteristics in the SCR system under various zoning schemes. In scheme I, zones A1, A2, A3, and A4 predominantly influence the left, center, center-right, and far-right regions of the reactor inlet.

Purpose: The effect of metabolic factors on cardiovascular risk in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of metabolic factors on the left ventricular diastolic function in patients with OSA.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included a total of 478 patients with OSA from September 2018 to September 2023.

Background: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes spinal cord swelling and occlusion of the subarachnoid space (SAS). SAS occlusion can change pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, which could have acute clinical management implications. This study aimed to characterise SAS occlusion and investigate CSF dynamics over 14 days post-SCI in the pig.

This investigation evaluated validity and reliability of the HUMAC360 linear position transducer (LPT) compared to the Tendo Sport Weightlifting Analyzer (TENDO) for measuring mean velocity (MV), peak velocity (PV), and displacement (D) during the bench press. Seventeen recreationally active individuals completed three visits. During visit one, participants were assessed for their one repetition maximum (1RM) bench press.
