Explore the Wolwedans Dam Trail

1 month ago | thepost.org.za | Scott Thomson

The Wolwedans Dam Trail is one of Great Brak River’s hidden gems, offering a scenic and historically rich hiking experience. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this 6.4 km out-and-back trail is well worth exploring. The route follows an old water furrow dating back to 1874, which once supplied water to the village. Along the way, hikers cross the river via a cement block covering a PetroSA pipeline and weave through sections of riverbed and bank before reaching the impressive Wolwedans Dam wall.

In an era where environmental issues grow more pressing every day, taking small, thoughtful steps toward a sustainable lifestyle can feel both impactful and fulfilling. Environmental advocate Futoshi Tachino believes that making mindful, everyday changes can help everyone contribute to a healthier planet. His approach is rooted in simplicity, minimalism, and an appreciation for nature, emphasizing that everyone can reduce their environmental footprint with just a few adjustments to daily routines.
Louis Morgenier Strategic Impact

Nov 6, 2024 | thegeneralpost.com | Scott Thomson

In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, financial innovation and strategic leadership are essential to delivering effective, efficient, and high-quality care. Louis Morgenier, a highly accomplished executive in the healthcare sector, has made a significant impact in this space.
"Flapping Flight" by Michael Tree and Dr. Scott Thomson

Oct 26, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | Scott Thomson |Brigham Young |Michael Tree

Keywordsflapping flight, micro air vehicles, MAVCollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractOperation of existing micro air vehicles (small, unmanned aircraft, with a maximum size of 6 inches or less, also known as MAVs) is difficult in urban areas. Most MAVs use a fixed-wing design that is unsuitable for high maneuverability, thus limiting their potential usefulness.
Computational Analysis of PROSTHETIC Voice-Producing Elements

Oct 26, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | Britton Olson |Scott Thomson |Brigham Young |Scott A. L

Keywordsvoice disorders, voice-producing element, VPECollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractMany voice disorders impede normal speech production. In severe cases such as laryngeal carcinoma, the total laryngectomy procedure is required, resulting in the loss of the natural ability to produce sound for speech. In this case synthetic forms of speech are employed.
Influence of Tissue Stiffness Asymmetry on Human Vocal Fold Vibration

Oct 26, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | Kimberly Stevens |Scott Thomson |Brigham Young

Keywordstissue stiffness asymmetry, human vocal fold vibration, larynxCollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractThe flow-induced vibration of the human vocal folds produces the sound for voiced speech and singing. The vocal folds consist of two folds of tissue, one on each side of the larynx, that are nominally symmetric in terms of shape, composition, and stiffness.
Stress-Induced Development of Human Vocal Fold Morphology

Oct 26, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | Scott Thomson |Brigham Young |Kendall Teichert

Keywordsstress-induced development, vocal fold, morphologyCollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractRamig and Verdolini state: “it has been estimated that 3% to 9% of the total population in the United States has a voice disorder.” One way to better understand voice disorders is to learn about the development of the structures and properties, or morphology, they affect. Much study has been done on the morphology of the human vocal folds.
Development of Models of Laryngeal Cartilage Using MRI Images

Oct 26, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | Scott Thomson |Brigham Young |Scott A. L |Brianne Hamilton

Keywordslaryngeal cartilage, MRI images, speech productionCollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractThe study of vocal fold vibration allows for greater understanding of how speech production occurs and of the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of associated physiological disorders. Until now an environment to test vocal fold models which are anatomically similar in both form and function has not been available.
"Use of Signal Processing Methods to Improve Speech Intelligibility in " by Daniel J. Andelin and Dr. Scott Thomson

Oct 26, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | Scott Thomson |Brigham Young |Daniel J Andelin

Keywordssignal processing, speech intelligibility, throat microphonesCollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractEffective communication, vital to successful operations in many sectors, including military, business, and industry, depends largely on the receiver’s ability to accurately interpret the transmitted signal, generally referred to as speech intelligibility (SI). The presence of elevated noise can be seriously detrimental to SI.
Scar Effects on Vocal Fold Vibration

Oct 26, 2024 | scholarsarchive.byu.edu | Scott Thomson |Brigham Young |Todd Groesbeck

Keywordsscar effects, vocal fold vibration, speechCollegeIra A. Fulton College of Engineering and TechnologyDepartmentMechanical EngineeringAbstractThe influence of scarring on the vocal folds is of great interest to the speech community. Surgeons, educators, and vocalists all have interest in understanding what causes vocal fold damage, and how such damage may be repaired. Frequently, repair requires surgery, and the surgery may result in scarring.
