10th International Conference AQL2013 Advances in Quantitative Laryngology

描述(由申请者提供)：定量喉科、语音和语音研究进展国际会议(AQL)已成为语音研究领域最有价值的科学会议之一。AQL是一个高级的中型科学会议，专门研究语音和语音的测量和建模的定量方法，重点是翻译研究和临床语音评估。AQL历史上一直在美国以外的地点召开会议。它将于2013年6月3-4日在俄亥俄州辛辛那提举行的第10届AQL国际会议上首次在美国举行。它将由辛辛那提儿童医院医学中心和辛辛那提大学组织。此外，主办方将于2013年6月2日和6月5日举办本地组织的学生工作坊。AQL‘2013的主题领域将保持在以前AQL会议的通常范围内。这些主题领域是：喉科的临床方面；嗓音障碍；喉镜和频闪检查；高速视频内窥镜；运动描记；发声功能的测量；客观的发声评估；发声过程的建模和模拟；声带的形态测量和组织特性；图像处理；声学语音和语音分析；逆滤波；电声门图；以及信号处理。即将召开的AQL会议的具体目标如下：组织和主办第十届AQL国际会议，保持和进一步提高AQL的高水平；组织和主办与第十届AQL国际会议相关的学生工作坊；在AQL科学界产生和传播最能反映嗓音和喉科定量方法临床需求的新研究思路和方向；并通过一本主要的同行评议的语音杂志的增刊来传播所提交的最佳报告。这项R13会议赠款提案的主要目的是申请资金，以抵消与AQL产生的科学知识传播有关的某些会议费用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The International Conference on Advances in Quantitative Laryngology, Voice and Speech Research (AQL) has become one of the most valuable scientific meetings in the field of voice research. AQL is an advanced- level mid-size scientific conference specialized in quantitative methods for measurement and modeling of voice and speech, with an emphasis on translational research and clinical voice assessment. AQL has historically convened in venues outside the United States. The first time it will be held in this country will occur with the 10th AQL International Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, on June 3-4, 2013. It will be organized by the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the University of Cincinnati. In addition, locally-organized student workshops will be offered by the organizers on June 2nd and June 5th, 2013. The topic areas for AQL'2013 will remain within the usual scope of the previous AQL conferences. Those topic areas are: clinical aspects of laryngology; voice disorders; laryngoscopy and videostroboscopy; high-speed videoendoscopy; kymography; measurement of vocal function; objective voice assessment; modeling and simulation of vocal processes; morphometry and tissue properties of the vocal folds; image processing; acoustic voice and speech analysis; inverse filtering; electroglottography; and signal processing. The specific aims for the upcoming AQL conference are as follows: to organize and host the 10th AQL International Conference, maintain and further improve the high AQL standards; to organize and host student workshops in relation with the 10th AQL International Conference; to generate and disseminate amongst the AQL scientific community new research ideas and directions that best reflect the clinical demands for quantitative methods in voice and laryngology; and to disseminate the best of the presented reports through a supplemental issue of a major peer-reviewed voice journal. The primary purpose of this R13 conference grant proposal is to request funding that will offset certain conference expenses, which relate to the dissemination of scientific knowledge generated by AQL.
