Controlling chaotic oscillations in a symmetric two-mass model of the vocal folds
(Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, Vol. 159 , 2022 (juny), 2022-06)Human phonation is a highly non-linear process in which subglottal flow emanating from the lungs induces self-oscillations of the vocal folds. In normal conditions, this results in the generation of a ... -
Robustness of a pacemaker to control chaotic oscillations in a two-mass model of the vocal folds under turbulence and muscle twitch fluctuations and vocal tremor

(2025-01)The aim of A-Place, a project co-funded by the Creative Europe programme, has been to create a network of places across countries and cultures, artistic forms and educational fields, involving professional ... -
Controlling chaotic vocal fold oscillations in the numerical production of vowel sounds
(Chaos, Solitons & Fractals Volume 182, May 2024, 114740, 2024-03)Lumped mass models have been studied in depth to unveil the complex nonlinear physics of phonation. Even in the case of simple symmetric models, slight changes in muscle restoring forces or excessive ... -
Tuned two-dimensional vocal tracts with piriform fossae for the finite element simulation of vowels
(Journal of Sound and Vibration, Vol. 537, Art. 117168, 2022-07)The piriform fossae are two small side branches of the vocal tract that are located close to the larynx. They act as quarter wave resonators and introduce two deep dips around 5 kHz in the voice spectrum. ... -
Application of the triple helix model in the revitalisation of cities: the case of Brazil
(International Journal of Knowledge-Based Development, vol. 10, núm. 1, 2019-03-09)A new trend in urban projects has risen around a common problem: old urban spaces are losing most of their productive capabilities and becoming obsolete. In most cases, these spaces are revitalised by ... -
Areas of innovation in cities: the evolution of 22@Barcelona
(International Journal of Knowledge-Based Development, vol. 10, núm. 1, 2019-03-09)Areas of innovation (AOIs) are on the agenda of urban planners in the revitalisation of inner cities. The knowledge-based economy provides the opportunity to base these revitalisation efforts in creating ... -
The role of modern urban science parks in developing entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems
