Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Effect of terahertz irradiation on DNA damage repair in living cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the effect of terahertz (THz) wave irradiation on DNA double‐strand break (DSB) repair in living cells. We found that THz irradiation enhanced DSB repair at specific frequencies, whereas heat treatment inhibited it, indicating that this effect is nonthermal and frequency‐specific.

End-to-End Optimization of Source Models for Speech and Audio Coding Using a Machine Learning Framework

, 2019
Speech coding is the most commonly used application of speech processing. Accumulated layers of improvements have however made codecs so complex that optimization of individual modules becomes increasingly difficult. This work introduces machine learning

Exploring the influence of lactoferrin on wound healing and related signaling pathways: a systematic review

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Lactoferrin promotes wound healing by activating MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and extracellular matrix pathways, enhancing fibroblast remodeling, proliferation, and re‐epithelialization. These mechanisms highlight its therapeutic potential in inflammation control, tissue repair, and remodeling.

Tutorial and Guidelines on Measurement of Sound Pressure Level in Voice and Speech

, 2018
Purpose Sound pressure level (SPL) measurement of voice and speech is often considered a trivial matter, but the measured levels are often reported incorrectly or incompletely, making them difficult to compare among various ...

A Formant Modification Method for Improved ASR of Children’s Speech

, 2022
Differences in acoustic characteristics between children’s and adults’ speech degrade performance of automatic speech recognition systems when systems trained using adults’ speech are used to recognize children’s speech.

Aquisição da coda vibrante: o estabelecimento de pistas fonético-acústicas Vibrant coda acquisition: the establishment of acoustic‑phonetic cues

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Fonoaudiologia, 2012
OBJETIVO: Caracterizar acusticamente as produções da coda vibrante julgadas auditivamente como alvo; identificar a existência ou não de contrastes encobertos, nas produções julgadas auditivamente como tendo omissão da coda vibrante; e, quando existentes,

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

Wavelets for intonation modeling in HMM speech synthesis [PDF]

, 2013
The pitch contour in speech contains information about different linguistic units at several distinct temporal scales. At the finest level, the microprosodic cues are purely segmental in nature, whereas in the coarser time scales, lexical tones, word ...

Comparison of plosive sounds in monolingual and bilingual children, using the voice onset time acoustic parameter: cases report

Revista CEFAC
The purpose was to compare differences in production of plosive phonemes through the voice onset time (VOT) measurement in the speech of monolingual children, speakers of Brazilian Portuguese and bilingual children, speakers of both Brazilian Portuguese ...
