DR V3.1: OBOE AND THE HUMAN VOICE As the quality of the human voice can be greatly affected by the degree of flexibility and elasticity of the vocal folds, so can the quality of the oboe tone be considerably influenced by the quality, density and various other characteristics of the cane from which the reed is made. In the case of the human voice, the resonators are the various throat, mouth and head cavities, while for the oboe the resonator is the hollow body of the instrument. There is another element in common to both sounds, the human voice and the oboe tone, which is possibly the most vital one.: the exhaled air which provides the energy to power the sound generators or to form and to carry the sound. idrs.colorado.edu /Publications/DR/DR3.1/oboe.html   (1520 words)

Total Quality Management The goal is to turn the organization into a "total" quality system/machine, in which the individual worker is simply one more production component or "human resource" (see Calas & Smircich, 1991 for a recent organizational treatment of this issue). TQM principles delivered at a recent Deming seminar demonstrate how the natural curiosity of the human spirit is coopted by TQM: "One is born with a natural inclination to learn and to be innovative. Total Quality Management is a set of techniques and procedures used to reduce or eliminate variation from a production process or service delivery system in order to improve efficiency, reliability and quality. www.ilstu.edu /~defitz/tqmpaper.htm   (6610 words)

The Quality of Mercy Strained: Wresting the Pardoning Power from the King This biblical paradigm illustrates the centrality of mercy to the human condition, and the benefits it imparts both to the forgiver and to the object of the forgiveness. Divine mercy and the command for humans to emulate it are recurrent biblical themes. Perhaps the most famous call for human mercy is in the Sermon on the Mount, which uses divine mercy as the exemplar: "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." Matthew 5:7 (King James). jurist.law.pitt.edu /kobil.htm   (20200 words)

What's_in_a_Voice.html Nonetheless, even when someone succeeds in recreating an authentic voice using a computer with quasi-human intelligence, it would only further prove the point: It is the mercurial, mysterious quality of intelligence and consciousness that distinguishes a human voice or choir, and not just a particular tone quality. When the development of the human voice is discussed, there is a tendency to focus on the more practical aspects of it: the voice as an effective means of communication--a way to coordinate effective hunting parties, or a way to warn of approaching danger, for instance. Just as the mark of humanity in a digitized "voice" is a certain illusive intelligence, the mark of the first emergence of a recognizable human animal, the first of the genus Homo, is its voice--that is, vocal apparatus together with the necessary intelligence, aural acuity, and motor control. web.grinnell.edu /courses/mus/MUS101-04/voice.html   (4613 words)

Virtual voice technology raises real questions about ethics: 7/00 VUIs range from poor-quality machine-generated voices, which many companies use on their telephone answering equipment, to high-quality human-recorded voices, which are more expensive to produce but which are beginning to crop up on commercial websites. News may seem "a little boring" in the machine-generated voice, but opinion was probably perceived as less opinionated when spoken by the less human voice. For stories labeled as news, the human-recorded voice made the content seem more factual and persuasive than the machine-generated voice. news-service.stanford.edu /news/2000/july26/virtualvoice-726-a.html   (1917 words)

Effective Communication Partners Voice assessment and therapy is primarily for individuals whose professions require constant use of the voice — teachers, entertainers, singers etc. — and for those who experience diminishing voice quality, changes in pitch or tone, or who experience hoarseness or loss of voice. Personality is imparted by your voice, and your voice is a sensitive barometer of human health, confidence, and passion. When disorders, discomfort or irritation affect voice quality, then an essential component of your health is compromised. lingwist.com /therapy.html   (155 words)

Feature Article While the reliability of technical devices can be ensured by the high quality of their elements, the reliability of living organisms has to be ensured by an exceptionally high degree of system redundancy to overcome the poor quality of some elements. If we accept the idea that we are born with a large amount of damage, it follows that even small improvements to the processes of early human development—ones that increase the numbers of initially functional elements—could result in a remarkable fall in mortality and a significant extension of human life. The same working-in period exists early in life for most living organisms, including humans; for humans, it is called the infant-mortality period. www.spectrum.ieee.org /WEBONLY/publicfeature/sep04/0904age.html   (155 words)

TQM Total Quality Management Diagnostics Whether both organizational management and human resource management systems take on a "quality management commitment" or "join a quality management team" is not important. The principles of quality management are attended to as an important third system that blends, integrates, aligns and maximizes the other two systems to beat competition in world class quality performance. Managers committed to successful implementation of total quality management (TQM) must have both an HRD Model and an OD Model that work together. www.skyenet.net /~leg/tqm.htm   (547 words)

IMF Survey Special Supplement on Michel Camdessus--February 2000 This has stemmed from Camdessus's vision of human development, rooted in his human and spiritual values, and from his firm conviction that human development is dependent on the quality of economic and social policy.

Human Development and Economic Freedom are collapsing in Venezuela www.vcrisis.com Human Development or Quality of Life is one of the most important concepts that these statistical surveys try to measure. In 1999, the first year of Hugo Chávez in power, Venezuela occupied position 48 in the ranking of the Human Development Index, which measures the quality of life in a society. The Human Development Index of the United Nations is not the highest ranked survey in Frecker's study (the "Well-Being Assessment" is, although it is not in universal use as yet) but is considered to be "highly coherent, clearly presented" and its statistics, being drawn from the UN system, are generally taken to be credible. www.vcrisis.com /index.php?content=letters/200509121007   (1407 words)
