Distribution of Oikopleura Dioica (Tunicata, Appendicularia) associated with a coastal frontal system (39°- 41°s) of the SW Atlantic ocean in the spawning area of Engraulis Anchoita anchovy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Among tunicates, the small planktonic appendicularians generally comprise a significant fraction of the mesozooplankton in frontal systems. The summer 2011 distribution (vertical and spatial) of Oikopleura dioica was studied in terms of abundance ...

Robust Dysarthric Speech Recognition with GAN Enhancement and LLM Correction

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study tackles dysarthric speech recognition by combining generative adversarial network (GAN)‐generated synthetic data with large language model (LLM)‐based error correction. The approach integrates three key elements: an improved CycleGAN to generate synthetic dysarthric speech for data augmentation, a multimodal automatic speech recognition core

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.
