Intrinsic fundamental frequency of Amharic vowels [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019
Intrinsic fundamental frequency (IF0) refers to the cross-linguistic tendency for high vowels to have a higher F0 than low vowels (Whalen and Levitt, 1995). IF0 is often thought to be a result of mechanical coupling, where tongue movement causes changes in the laryngeal structures, perturbing the F0. Ohala and Eukel (1987) propose that high vowels lead

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Physics-constrained random forest for spatial prediction of shallow equivalent thickness from three-component microtremor data

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The thickness of sediments above bedrock controls seismic site response and groundmotion amplification, but is difficult to map at high resolution in urban areas with sparse boreholes.

Frequency optimization of laminated composite spherical shells

open access: yesScience and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2012
This paper deals with frequency optimization of symmetrically laminated angle-ply spherical shells. The design objective is the maximization of the fundamental frequency, and the design variable is the fiber orientation in the layers.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Effects of stuttering on fundamental frequency

open access: yes, 1980
Research Involving the production and perception of speech prior to the moment of stuttering has focused on three general parameters of speech: physiological, perceptual and acoustic.
