, 2020 Prosody is an umbrella term used to cover a variety of interconnected and interacting phenomena, namely stress, rhythm, phrasing, and intonation. The phonetic expression of prosody relies on a number of parameters, including duration, amplitude, and fundamental frequency (F0). The same parameters are also used to encode lexical contrasts (such as tone),

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Metasurfaces and other structured photonic environments can dramatically modify the absorption and/or light emission of semiconductors. However, the consequences of these changes on the temperature of the system are not well understood. The authors address this problem for colloidal nanocrystals and leverage their findings to convert light into ...

A Road Map for the Development of Teaching Material on Scandinavian Prosody [PDF]
, 2023 In two recent Nordplus projects, we have been working on how to teachScandinavian prosody. One aim was to familiarize young speakers of Danish,Swedish and Norwegian with the speech melodies of their “neighboringlanguages” since they have increasingly ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review examines how in vitro electrical and mechanical stimulation modulates wound healing in fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Analyzing over 560 experimental data points, we relate stimulation parameters to proliferation and migration outcomes, evaluate platform designs, and highlight the need for multi‐parameter optimization to advance targeted ...

Domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) recognise meaningful content in monotonous streams of read speech
Animal CognitionDomestic dogs (Canis familiaris) can recognize basic phonemic information from human speech and respond to commands. Commands are typically presented in isolation with exaggerated prosody known as dog-directed speech (DDS) register.

Sociolectal and Dialectal Variation in Prosody.
, 2022 As in many linguistics subfields, studies of prosody have mainly focused on majority languages and dialects and on speakers who hold power in social structures. The goal of this Special Issue is to diversify prosody research in terms of the languages and

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A portable respiratory monitoring device based on a flexible PZT sensor captures pressure‐ and temperature‐related airflow responses in a single waveform. Polarity‐opposed piezoelectric and pyroelectric components generate a narrow transient spike and a broad quasi‐steady peak during both inhalation and exhalation. This dual‐component structure enables

Digital Microneedles for Multiplexed Transdermal Sensing via Fluorescent QR Codes
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Digital fluorescent microneedles encode biochemical information in skin into scannable QR codes through threshold‐activated probes that generate binary on/off signals. By transforming analog fluorescence into discrete digital patterns, this platform enables calibration‐free, multiplexed transdermal sensing of physiologically relevant biomarkers ...
