Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

Analysis of Treacher Collins syndrome 4‐associated mutations in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Fission yeast models carrying Treacher Collins syndrome type 4‐associated mutations reveal that impaired processivity of RNA polymerase I leads to defective rRNA transcription. This study highlights the essential role of a conserved arginine residue in Pol I elongation and provides mechanistic insight into the pathogenesis of ribosomopathies.

A CNN-Assisted Enhanced Audio Signal Processing for Speech Emotion Recognition
Speech is the most significant mode of communication among human beings and a potential method for human-computer interaction (HCI) by using a microphone sensor. Quantifiable emotion recognition using these sensors from speech signals is an emerging area

Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene variants in tumors of non‐NF1 patients and role of R1276
Somatic variants of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene occur across neoplasms without clinical manifestation of the disease NF1. We identified emerging somatic pathogenic NF1 variants and hotspots, for example, at the arginine finger 1276. Those missense variants provide fundamental information about neurofibromin's role in cancer.

Noise Reduction from Speech Signal based on Wavelet Transform and Kullback-Leibler Divergence
A new method for speech enhancement based on Kullback-Leibler (K-L) divergence has been presented in this paper. First, the algorithm performs wavelet-packet transform to noisy speech and decomposes it into sub-bands; then we apply a threshold on ...

Effects of gemination and voicing on f0 in Italian across varying speaking rates [PDF]
This study examines whether Italian geminate consonants influence the fundamental frequency (f0) of adjacent vowels and how such effects interact with voicing-related Cf0 perturbations.
