Abstract:
The first step that I took in preparing myself to undertake what is in essence a piece of epistemological research was to divide the psychological therapies into two: the potentiality paradigm and the pathology paradigm. The former is based upon the potentiality model articulated by person-centred theorists like Dave Mearns and Brian Thorne, which is essentially a growth model, whilst the latter reflects a form of therapy that recognises people according to what may be considered 'wrong with' or 'deficient about' them, such as operates in the disciplines of medicine and clinical psychology.

Abstract:
This thesis introduces a general method for incorporating the distributional analysis of textual and linguistic objects into text-to-speech (TTS) conversion systems. Conventional TTS conversion uses intermediate layers of representation to bridge the gap between text and speech. Collecting the annotated data needed to produce these intermediate layers is a far from trivial task, possibly prohibitively so for languages in which no such resources are in existence. Distributional analysis, in contrast, proceeds in an unsupervised manner, and so enables the creation of systems using textual data t

Abstract:
A concatenation framework for time-domain concatenative speech synthesis (TDCSS) is presented and evaluated. In this framework, speech segments are extracted from CV, VC, CVC and CC waveforms, and abutted. Speech rhythm is controlled via a single duration parameter, which specifies the initial portion of each stored waveform to be output. An appropriate choice of segmental durations reduces spectral discontinuity problems at points of concatenation, thus reducing reliance upon smoothing procedures. For text-to-speech considerations, a segmental timing system is described, which predicts segmen

The subject of this thesis covers a considerably varied multidisciplinary area which needs to be addressed to be able to achieve a text-to-speech synthesis system of high quality, in any language. This is the first time that such a system has been built for Maltese, and therefore, there was the additional problem of no computerised sources or corpora. However many problems and much of the system designs are common to all languages. This thesis focuses on two general problems. The first is that of automatic labelling of phonemic data, since this is crucial for the setting up of Maltese speech c

Abstract:
Current high quality text-to-speech (TTS) systems are based on unit selection from a large database that is both contextually and prosodically rich. These systems, albeit capable of natural voice quality, are computationally expensive and require a very large footprint. Their success is attributed to the dramatic reduction of storage costs in recent times. However, for many TTS applications a smaller footprint is becoming a standard requirement.

This thesis proposes to improve and enrich the expressiveness of English Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis by identifying and generating natural patterns of prosodic prominence. In most state-of-the-art TTS systems the prediction from text of prosodic prominence relations between words in an utterance relies on features that very loosely account for the combined effects of syntax, semantics, word informativeness and salience, on prosodic prominence. To improve prosodic prominence prediction we first follow up the classic approach in which prosodic prominence patterns are flattened into binary seq

Abstract:
Modern text-to-speech systems are modular in many different ways. In recent years, end-users gained the ability to control speech attributes such as degree of emotion, rhythm and timbre, along with other suprasegmental features. More ambitious objectives are related to modelling a combination of speakers and languages, e.g. to enable cross-speaker language transfer. Though, no prior work has been done on the more fine-grained analysis of regional accents. To fill this gap, in this thesis we present practical end-to-end solutions to synthesise speech while controlling within-country variations

Abstract:
Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC), widely used antimicrobial agents found in numerous consumer products, are incompletely removed by wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) processing. Methyl-triclosan (M-TCS) is a more lipophilic metabolite of its parent compound, TCS. The focus of this study was to quantify bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for TCS, M-TCS, and TCC in Pecan creek, the receiving stream for the City of Denton, Texas WWTP by using field samples mostly composed of the alga Cladophora sp. and the caged snail Helisoma trivolvis as test species. Additionally, TCS effects on E. coli a

Abstract:
Energy is lost when a rope transfers from a slack state to a taut state. This transfer is called a snap load and can be very violent. It is proposed to use synthetic fiber ropes as a type of passive control device in new or existing structures to mitigate seismic response. Experimental static and snap load (dynamic) tests were conducted on various synthetic fiber ropes. An eleven-foot-tall drop tower was built in the Virginia Tech Structures and Materials Laboratory in order to conduct these tests. Force and acceleration of the drop plate, which slides vertically within the drop tower,

Abstract:
Cette these est consacree a une etude linguistique appliquee a la synthese de la parole a partir du texte. Elle se divise en deux volets : la conversion grapheme-phoneme et l'analyse syntaxique, notamment pour la generation automatique de la prosodie. La conversion grapheme-phoneme, dans des langues comme le francais, est hautement dependante du contexte : l'accent a ici ete mis sur les ambiguites morpho-phonologiques, les glides et le schwa, les liaisons et les noms propres. Les nombres et les abreviations, problemes qui peuvent etre qualifies d'extra-lexicaux, sont pretraites en amont. Un sy
