The High‐Altitude Adaptation Characteristics of Microbiota‐Host Cross‐Talk in Yak Gastrointestinal Track

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, a single‐cell atlas of 117,019 yak gastrointestinal cells across 54 subtypes identified HNF4A and SREBF2 as key transcription factors targeting MYO6 gene. Cross‐species and multi‐omics analyses reveals epithelial cells as key regulators that, through interactions with microbes, particularly Bacillus, facilitate flexible energy supply and

Dynamic Formant Trajectories in German Read Speech: Impact of Predictability and Prominence

Frontiers in Communication, 2021
Phonetic structures expand temporally and spectrally when they are difficult to predict from their context. To some extent, effects of predictability are modulated by prosodic structure.

Robust Dysarthric Speech Recognition with GAN Enhancement and LLM Correction

Advanced 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

Acoustic cues for the recognition of self-voice and other-voice

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
Self-recognition, being indispensable for successful social communication, has become a major focus in current social neuroscience. The physical aspects of the self are most typically manifested in the face and voice.

Voice clarification using active noise control and speech separation

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
Active noise control (ANC) is a technique used to reduce environmental noise in noisy places such as office or aircraft cabin. ANC reduces the overall input signal even when it has necessary information such as conversation as well as noise.

Stop Release in Polish English — Implications for Prosodic Constituency [PDF]

, 2014
Although there is little consensus on the relevance of non-contrastive allophonic processes in L2 speech acquisition, EFL pronunciation textbooks cover the suppression of stop release in coda position.

Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.

The impact of mother's mental health, infant characteristics and war trauma on the acoustic features of infant‐directed singing

Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, EarlyView.
Abstract Infant‐directed singing (IDSi) is a natural means of dyadic communication that contributes to children's mental health by enhancing emotion expression, close relationships, exploration and learning. Therefore, it is important to learn about factors that impact the IDSi.
