Development of tonal discrimination in young heritage speakers of Cantonese

J. Phonetics, 2019
This study uses the Perceptual Assimilation Model for Suprasegmentals (PAM-S) (So & Best, 2008, 2010), supported by the assumptions of the L2 Intonation Learning theory (LILt, Mennen, 2015), to investigate how young heritage speakers of Cantonese living ...

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.

“To Go ‘Into’ My Dialect”: Jane Lai’s Cantonese Translation of King Lear and the Historical Context of its Performances in Hong Kong

Multicultural Shakespeare
The English performance of Shakespeare in Hong Kong during the early colonial governance period served partly to support the cultural security of the British expatriates, and partly the edification of the locals. However, the 1970s and 1980s witnessed an

Cantonese sentence dataset for lip‐reading

IET Image Processing
Lip‐reading deciphers speech by observing lip movements without relying on audio data. The rapid advancements in deep learning have significantly improved lip‐reading for both English and Chinese; however, research on dialects such as Cantonese remains ...

A High‐Loading Zn Single‐Atom Nanozyme Targets the Zn/HIF‐1α/GLUT1 Axis to Disrupt Glucose Metabolic Reprogramming and Remodel the Tumor Immune Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐loading Zn single‐atom nanozyme (ZMG@CS) delivers ML‐SA5 and GOx to lysosomes. ML‐SA5 activates TRPML1 to release endogenous Zn2+, while the nanozyme provides exogenous Zn2+ and GOx‐driven acidification amplifies ROS production. Together, these effects suppress the HIF‐1α/GLUT1 axis, disrupt glucose and redox homeostasis, induce disulfidptosis ...

Deltacoronavirus Modulates circRNA cGLIS3 Metabolism to Evade Host Antiviral Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that both deltacoronavirus nucleocapsid protein and host RNA binding protein IGF2BP2 promote circular RNA GLIS3 (cGLIS3) biogenesis by binding to GLIS3 pre‐mRNA. The m6A modification‐mediated cGLIS3‐IGF2BP2 interaction weakens RNase L‐mediated degradation of cGLIS3 while facilitates a ubiquitin‐dependent degradation of IGF2BP2, thus ...

Beyond Traditional Phenolics: Disulfide Bonds for Performance Enhancement of Aerospace Ablation‐Resistant Materials from Processing to Recycling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The dynamic disulfide bonds facilitated the development of high‐performance aerospace ablation‐resistant materials. At moderate temperature, the dissociation and recombination of disulfide bonds ensured excellent processability, mechanical properties, and recycling ability of phenolic resin; at high temperature, cleavage of disulfide bonds produced ...

Temporal Decoupling: A New Paradigm of 4D Photo‐Responsive Carbon Dots Films With Modular Regulation of Color and Deformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates a novel energy regulation strategy using the long‐lived S₁ state as a “kinetic capacitor” to achieve temporally decoupled integration of photoinduced deformation and multicolor fluorescence in naphthalimide‐functionalized carbon dots. This dual‐channel programmable shunting of excited‐state energy establishes a dynamic single‐use

Towards a Cross-Cultural Theory of Tone-Tune Mapping: A Comparative Study of Cantonese and Yorùbá

Analytical Approaches to World Music
While recent research has investigated tone-tune mapping in diverse regions in Asia, Africa, and Meso-America, a cross-cultural understanding of tone-tune mapping remains limited due to such variables as the role of tone in language comprehension, sample
