Vocal loudness greatly impacts communication in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. PD is a progressive condition in which the neurotransmitter dopamine has been depleted. Dopamine, produced mainly in the substantia nigra, is largely responsible for muscle control. Without dopamine, the muscles of the speech mechanisms are restricted in amplitude, range, and flexibility (Duffy, 2013). According to Fox and Ramig (1997), approximately 75% of PD patients exhibit voice and/or speech deficits. In the majority

JEKIE YEAKPEE 06/24/143 . September, 1987 Any discussion of computer architectures, of how computers and computer systems are organized, designed, and implemented, inevitably makes reference to the "von Neumann architecture" as a basis for comparison. And of course this is so, since virtually every electronic computer ever built has been rooted in this architecture. The name applied to it comes from John von Neumann, who as author of two papers in 1945 [Goldstine and von Neumann 1963, von
