Referral Practices and Utilisation of Paediatric Oncology Physiotherapy Services in Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Physical rehabilitation is highly recognised in improving the quality of life of cancer survivors through prehabilitation, sequelae management and palliative care, yet its integration into routine care in Ghana has not been characterised, leading to potential gaps in service access.

On Segmentation of Speech for Automatic Speech Recognition [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1963
The principles of speech segmentation are explained. Methods for the segmentation of speech into thought elements, words, syllables, phonemes, and acoustical (subphonemic) sound elements are discussed. The results of experimental segmentation of speech with a digital computer (as part of a speech-recognition simulation program sponsored by the U.

Social Functioning Within the First Years After Pediatric Brain Tumor Diagnosis and the Relationship With Family Psychosocial Risk

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.

Speech/Non-Speech Segmentation Based on Phoneme Recognition Features

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2006
This work assesses different approaches for speech and non-speech segmentation of audio data and proposes a new, high-level representation of audio signals based on phoneme recognition features suitable for speech/non-speech discrimination tasks. Unlike

Segmentation cues in conversational speech: Robust semantics and fragile phonotactics

Frontiers in Psychology, 2012
Multiple cues influence listeners’ segmentation of connected speech into words, but most previous studies have used stimuli elicited in careful readings rather than natural conversation. Discerning word boundaries in conversational speech may differ from

Effects of the Native Language on the Learning of Fundamental Frequency in Second-Language Speech Segmentation

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
This study investigates whether the learning of prosodic cues to word boundaries in speech segmentation is more difficult if the native and second/foreign languages (L1 and L2) have similar (though non-identical) prosodies than if they have markedly ...

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Joint segmentation of piecewise constant autoregressive processes by using a hierarchical model and a Bayesian sampling approach [PDF]

, 2006
We propose a joint segmentation algorithm for piecewise constant autoregressive (AR) processes recorded by several independent sensors. The algorithm is based on a hierarchical Bayesian model.

Prosodic Prominence and Boundaries in Sequence-to-Sequence Speech Synthesis [PDF]

, 2020
Recent advances in deep learning methods have elevated synthetic speech quality to human level, and the field is now moving towards addressing prosodic variation in synthetic speech.Despite successes in this effort, the state-of-the-art systems fall ...
