An infrastructure for Turkish prosody generation in text-to-speech synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Text-to-speech engines benefit from natural language processing while generating the appropriate prosody. In this study, we investigate the natural language processing infrastructure for Turkish prosody generation in three steps as pronunciation ...

Prosody and lemma selection [PDF]

open access: yesMemory & Cognition, 2005
In three picture-naming experiments, we examined the effect of prosodic context on the synonyms people use to name pictures in Mandarin Chinese. This was done without time pressure. The results showed that when monosyllabic and Disyllabic synonyms (e.g., hen/chicken) were embedded in a context of pictures with either bisyllabic or trisyllabic names ...

Optimizing Angiopep‐2 Density on Polymeric Nanoparticles for Enhanced Blood–Brain Barrier Penetration and Glioblastoma Targeting: Insights From In Vitro and In Vivo Experiments

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The Angiopep‐2 peptide density on polymeric nanoparticles significantly impacts blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration. This study explores this nuanced relationship using various in vitro models and in vivo assays, revealing that dynamic models better predict BBB penetration.

Assessment of Prosodic Communicative Efficiency in Parkinson's Disease As Judged by Professional Listeners

open access: yesParkinson's Disease, 2011
This study examines the impact of Parkinson's disease (PD) on communicative efficiency conveyed through prosody. A new assessment method for evaluating productive prosodic skills in Dutch speaking dysarthric patients was devised and tested on 36 ...

Prosodic Event Recognition using Convolutional Neural Networks with Context Information

open access: yes, 2017
This paper demonstrates the potential of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for detecting and classifying prosodic events on words, specifically pitch accents and phrase boundary tones, from frame-based acoustic features. Typical approaches use not only

Integrating Prosodic and Lexical Cues for Automatic Topic Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We present a probabilistic model that uses both prosodic and lexical cues for the automatic segmentation of speech into topically coherent units. We propose two methods for combining lexical and prosodic information using hidden Markov models and ...

Tunable Thermoshrinkable Hydrogels for 4D Fabrication of Cell‐Seeded Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A thermoresponsive polymer with methacrylate groups for photo‐cross‐linking, based on polyethylene glycol, N‐isopropylacrylamide, and 2‐hydroxyethyl acrylate is synthetized to yield hydrogels that shrink upon temperature increase. The new polymer enables the fabrication of cell‐laden perfusable channels with diameters below 200 µm by combining ...

The recognition of the prosodic focus position in German-learning infants from 4 to 14 months [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The aim of the present study was to elucidate in a study with 4-, 6-, 8-, and 14-month-old German-learning children, when and how they may acquire the regularities which underlie Focus-to-Stress Alignment (FSA) in the target language, that is, how ...

Prosody and the development of comprehension [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Child Language, 1987
ABSTRACTFour studies are reported in which young children's response time to detect word targets was measured. Children under about six years of age did not show the response time advantage for accented target words which adult listeners show. When semantic focus of the target word was manipulated independently of accent, children of about five years ...

Enhancing Indoor Photovoltaic Efficiency to 37.6% Through Triple Passivation Reassembly and n‐Type to p‐Type Modulation in Wide Bandgap Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Triple Passivation Treatment (TPT) strategy enables 1.75 eV wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells (WB‐PSCs) with suppressed halide phase segregation and n‐to‐p type surface transition. The photoluminescence quantum yield increases from 0.5 to 2.1%, indicating reduced non‐radiative losses.
