Advanced Science, EarlyView.How locus coeruleus noradrenergic‐spinal projections and subsequent α2A adrenoceptors‐CaMKII signaling cascades contribute to electroacupuncture‐induced antinociception in postoperative pain in mice is described. Abstract Postoperative pain remains a significant challenge in healthcare.

Controllable Neural Prosody Synthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Speech synthesis has recently seen significant improvements in fidelity, driven by the advent of neural vocoders and neural prosody generators. However, these systems lack intuitive user controls over prosody, making them unable to rectify prosody errors (e.g., misplaced emphases and contextually inappropriate emotions) or generate prosodies with ...

Do Prosody Transfer Models Transfer Prosody? [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Some recent models for Text-to-Speech synthesis aim to transfer the prosody of a reference utterance to the generated target synthetic speech. This is done by using a learned embedding of the reference utterance, which is used to condition speech generation. During training, the reference utterance is identical to the target utterance.

Prosody Learning Mechanism for Speech Synthesis System Without Text Length Limit [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Recent neural speech synthesis systems have gradually focused on the control of prosody to improve the quality of synthesized speech, but they rarely consider the variability of prosody and the correlation between prosody and semantics together. In this paper, a prosody learning mechanism is proposed to model the prosody of speech based on TTS system ...

Solvent Engineering for Scalable and Sustainable Fabrication of Lead‐tin Perovskite Solar Cells
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Scaling up Pb‐Sn PSCs from the laboratory to an industrial scale requires addressing challenges related to scalable preparation technologies and solvent sustainability. This work introduces two innovative, low‐toxic solvent mixtures for a two‐step blade‐coating deposition process of the active perovskite layer, resulting in efficient and stable Pb‐Sn ...

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.Herein, by employing a reference electrode, the durability of anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE) under intermittent condition is demonstrated to be governed by the stability of the cathode catalyst. By encapsulating NiMo catalyst with carbon shells, the oxidation‐induced irreversible transformation to inactive hydroxide is prevented ...

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This study explores the structure–activity relationship of Schottky heterojunctions coupled with multi‐level core‐shell structures. Copper‐based yolk‐double shell heterojunction microspheres (Cu/Cu2O@C‐2shell) are constructed using a heterogeneous contraction and reduction strategy to promote the targeted separation of electron–hole pairs, accumulate ...

Exploring the Emotional Functions of Co‐Speech Hand Gesture in Language and Communication
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Research over the past four decades has built a convincing case that co‐speech hand gestures play a powerful role in human cognition . However, this recent focus on the cognitive function of gesture has, to a large extent, overlooked its emotional role—a role that was once central to research on bodily expression.

A virtual reality-based method for examining audiovisual prosody perception [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Prosody plays a vital role in verbal communication. Acoustic cues of prosody have been examined extensively. However, prosodic characteristics are not only perceived auditorily, but also visually based on head and facial movements. The purpose of this report is to present a method for examining audiovisual prosody using virtual reality.
