Breathing Dynamics for Non-speech and Speech Tasks Following Intensive Voice and Speech Treatment in Children with Motor Speech Disorders Secondary to Cerebral Palsy
DownloadFall 2015
Introduction. Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most frequently occurring cause of movement disorders in children. It has a prevalence of 2-2.5 cases per 1000 live births and is a chronic condition, requiring lifelong rehabilitation. The ability to communicate is a primary factor in positive...

Insights on local chemical structure of chalcogenide photovoltaic materials using solid state NMR spectroscopy
DownloadSpring 2023
Quaternary chalcogenides with the formula I2-II-IV-VI4 have emerged as promising candidates for photovoltaic materials, but many details about their structures remain poorly understood. This thesis describes the synthesis, structure determination, and optical properties of the sulfides Cu2MTtS4...

Intelligibility of foreign-accented words: Acoustic distances and gradient foreign accentedness
Download2015-04-29
Porretta, Vincent, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Intelligibility and degree of accentedness are interrelated aspects of non-native speech. Previous research suggests that foreign accentedness is influenced by phonetic distance measures [7]. These distance measures may also influence the intelligibility of individual words. In the present study...

This thesis studies the intrinsic disorder effects and the electro- and magnetotransport properties of some perovskite manganites. Recently reported colossal electro-resistance (ER) (a relative change in resistance with electric field /current ) in manganites, analogous to their respective...

An increasing number of realists about science believe that what science really tells us about are the world's structural features. For these realists, then, we should restrict our realist commitments: the theoretical objects described by science are not the kinds of entities towards which we...

This thesis is dedicated to the study of quantum phase transitions in 2D Dirac semimetals. In Chapter 1, we first briefly review how Dirac fermions emerge in condensed matter systems and then briefly review the physics of quantum phase transitions. Chapter 2 is devoted to the field-theoretic...

Voice and Speech Outcomes Following Intensive Voice and Motor Speech Treatment Delivered Sequentially to Children with Motor Speech Disorders Secondary to Cerebral Palsy
DownloadSpring 2016
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the treatment outcomes in children with a mixed diagnoses of dysarthria and childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), secondary to Cerebral Palsy (CP) after the completion of LSVT®LOUD followed by a six-week motor speech treatment. Method:...

Although speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have access to a wealth of information to guide the selection and prioritization of targets for intervention with children who have speech sound disorders (SSDs), empirical evidence needed to support such decisions is lacking. The role of vowels is...
