TL;DR: Two new tools to speech analysis are introduced: recurrence and fractal scaling, which overcome the range limitations of existing tools by addressing directly these two symptoms of disorder, together reproducing a "hoarseness" diagram.

TL;DR: This paper introduced recurrence and fractal scaling, which overcome the range limitations of existing tools by addressing directly these two symptoms of disorder, and a simple bootstrapped classifier distinguishes normal from disordered voices to 91.8% overall accuracy on a large database of subjects with a wide variety of voice disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper , the absolute particle number and mass exhalation rates from measurements of minute ventilation using a non-invasive Vyntus Hans Rudolf mask kit with straps housing a rotating vane spirometer along with measurements of the exhaled particle number concentrations and size distributions were provided.

TL;DR: In this paper , an aerodynamic particle sizer (0.54-20 μm diameter) samples exhalate from within a cardiopulmonary exercise testing mask, at rest, while speaking and during cycle ergometer-based exercise.
