Human γδ T Cell Function Is Impaired Upon Mevalonate Pathway Inhibition
Immunology, EarlyView.Mevalonate pathway is important for the effector function of gammadelta T cells. Inhibition of the pathway in vivo and in vitro impairs cytokine and cytotoxic molecule production by mainly affecting protein prenylation and disturbing intracellular signalling in Vdelta2 T cells. Created with Biorender.

The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 30, Issue 1, March 2025.Abstract Misconceptions about the ethnolinguistic relationship between Haiti and Louisiana persist to the present. Central to this debate is whether Louisiana Creole (LC) is a variety of French, an independent language, or a variant of the better‐known and more widely spoken Haitian Creole (HC). In this paper, I present data from residents of Louisiana

Robust and fine-grained prosody control of end-to-end speech synthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We propose prosody embeddings for emotional and expressive speech synthesis networks. The proposed methods introduce temporal structures in the embedding networks, thus enabling fine-grained control of the speaking style of the synthesized speech. The temporal structures can be designed either on the speech side or the text side, leading to different ...

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Collectives of hybrid organizations have emerged with the aim of promoting the plural goals and values embodied by their member organizations. Doing so, however, often requires simultaneous conformity and opposition to dominant institutional norms, such as those underlying mainstream market activity.

Towards End-to-End Prosody Transfer for Expressive Speech Synthesis with Tacotron [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We present an extension to the Tacotron speech synthesis architecture that learns a latent embedding space of prosody, derived from a reference acoustic representation containing the desired prosody. We show that conditioning Tacotron on this learned embedding space results in synthesized audio that matches the prosody of the reference signal with fine

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Scholars have long attended to both the persistence and change of institutional logic–identity constellations, but we know less about why and how organizational members might cling to a logic despite its evident maladaptive character and the resulting emotional upheaval.

Fine-grained robust prosody transfer for single-speaker neural text-to-speech [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present a neural text-to-speech system for fine-grained prosody transfer from one speaker to another. Conventional approaches for end-to-end prosody transfer typically use either fixed-dimensional or variable-length prosody embedding via a secondary attention to encode the reference signal.

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract This study involved a three‐level meta‐analysis on the correlations between metalinguistic awareness (i.e., orthographic, phonological, and morphological awareness) and Chinese word reading. Based on 16,823 individuals from 81 studies, the results revealed moderate associations between all three metalinguistic skills and Chinese word reading ...

Towards Fine-Grained Prosody Control for Voice Conversion [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In a typical voice conversion system, prior works utilize various acoustic features (e.g., the pitch, voiced/unvoiced flag, aperiodicity) of the source speech to control the prosody of generated waveform. However, the prosody is related with many factors, such as the intonation, stress and rhythm.
