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 ...

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 ...

Speaker adaptation and the evaluation of speaker similarity in the EMIME speech-to-speech translation project [PDF]

, 2010
This paper provides an overview of speaker adaptation research carried out in the EMIME speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) project. We focus on how speaker adaptation transforms can be learned from speech in one language and applied to the acoustic ...

Direct Access to Isoindolinone Derivatives by Palladium-Catalyzed C-H Activation and Isocyanide Insertion by Using Molecular Oxygen as the Sole Oxidant

, 2014
We report a straightforward, aerobic, palladium-catalyzed C-H activation, followed by isocyanide insertion to synthesize isoindolinone derivatives. This transformation is an efficient and step-economic strategy using oxygen as the sole oxidant.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.
