Metanalysis and Reshaping in Welsh

Text-to-speech synthesis for welsh and welsh English

English sounds that had no equivalent in Welsh (equivalences derived from [4]). These three segments were: / /, / /, and / /. Tables 1 and 2 show the South Welsh phonemes, with their equivalents in RP and the extra English segments. This work represents the first known attempt to develop a text-to-speech synthesiser for Welsh. A list of pseudo-Welsh nonsense words was generated, allowing for ce...

Metanalysis critical of blood alternative product challenged.

Hemopure is purified haemoglobin in a sterile solution that acts as an oxygen bridge when compatible red blood cells are not readily available. It has been shown to save the lives of 42% of haemorrhaging and severely anaemic patients who would otherwise have died, and has no lasting sideeffects. The product is stable at room temperature, has a shelf life of 3 years and requires no blood cross-m...

Genetic markers in Welsh gypsies.

Data are presented on polymorphic genetic markers of 84 Welsh gypsies, members of an inbred population characterised by a high incidence of phenylketonuria and other recessively inherited diseases. Sixteen polymorphic loci were studied: the ABO blood group distribution was comparable to that of the surrounding population, the B gene frequency being 7-5%, a lower frequency than most earlier stu...

Limbic-frontal circuitry in major depression: a path modeling metanalysis.

This paper reports the results of an across lab metanalysis of effective connectivity in major depression (MDD). Using FDG PET data and Structural Equation Modeling, a formal depression model was created to explicitly test current theories of limbic-cortical dysfunction in MDD and to characterize at the path level potential sources of baseline variability reported in this patient population. A ...
