Abstract Synthesizing controllers directly from frequency-domain measurement data is a powerful tool in the linear time-invariant framework. Ever-increasing performance requirements necessitate extending these approaches to account for plant variations. The aim of this paper develop analysis and synthesis conditions local internal stability H∞-performance single-input single-output parameter-va...

The ubiquitin-binding zinc finger (UBZ) domain of human DNA Y-family polymerase (pol) g is important in the recruitment of the polymerase to the stalled replication machinery in translesion synthesis. Here, we report the solution structure of the pol g UBZ domain and its interaction with ubiquitin. We show that the UBZ domain adopts a classical C2H2 zinc-finger structure characterized by a bba ...

Synthesis of program fragments from specifications can make programs easier to write and easier to reason about. We present Comfusy, a tool that extends the compiler for the general-purpose programming language Scala with (non-reactive) functional synthesis over unbounded domains. Comfusy accepts expressions with input and output variables specifying relations on integers and sets. Comfusy symb...

| Additive synthesis is a powerful tool for the analysis/modiication/synthesis of complex audio or speech signals. However, the cost of wavetable sinusoidal synthesis can become prohibitive for large numbers of sinusoids (more than a few hundred). In that case, techniques based on the inverse Fourier transform ooer an attractive alternative, being 200% to 300% more eecient than wavetable synthe...

This paper describes a development of limited domain expressive speech synthesis for the Czech language. Our current speech synthesis system is based on unit selection methods and produces high quality speech in a neutral speaking style. This work focuses on modifications made in the synthesis algorithm to integrate expressivity into generated speech. There is also introduced a listening test, ...

This work aims to explore the correlation between the discourse structure of a spoken monologue and its prosody by predicting discourse relations from different prosodic attributes. For this purpose, a corpus of semi-spontaneous monologues in English has been automatically annotated according to the Rhetorical Structure Theory, which models coherence in text via rhetorical relations. From corre...
