Real-Time Reactive Speech Synthesis: Incorporating Interruptions

The ability to be interrupted and react in a realistic manner is a key requirement for interactive speech interfaces. While previous systems have long implemented techniques such as ‘barge in’ where speech output can be halted at word or phrase boundaries, less work has explored how to mimic human speech output responses to real-time events like interruptions which require a reaction from the s...

FMR1 triplet arrays: paying the price for perfection.

Our understanding ofFMRI trinucleotide instability has increased dramatically with knowledge ofits detailed structures. While most arrays seem to be protected by interspersions, for a few the price of perfection is instability. Although there remain many unanswered questions, diagnosis in the "grey zone" can be greatly improved by studying array content. For the future, as we strive to delineat...

In-situ reactive synthesis of full dense Si2N2O by incorporating of Amourphous nanosized Si3N4;effect of MgO and Y2O3

Si2N2O is considered as a new great potential structural/functional candidate in place of Si3N4. The amorphous Si3N4 nanopowder was incorporated into silica sol by adding of MgO and Y2O3 as sintering aid. Synthesized powders were heated by spark plasma sintering at a heating rate of 100 oC/min yielded fully dense compacts at 1550 and 1750 oC for 40 min. The phase formation of samples was charac...

Malnutrition: Uganda Is Paying Too High a Price

Nutrition is the series of processes of taking in food, breaking down the food into minute components (called nutrients or micronutrients) in the stomach, absorbing these components into the body, and having the body store or use them. The components of food are categorized according to their use in the body: carbohydrates and fats provide energy, protein builds the body, and vitamins and miner...
