A text-to-speech synthesis system typically consists of multiple stages, such as a text analysis
frontend, an acoustic model and an audio synthesis module. Building these components …

AAPM Task Group 119 has produced quantitative confidence limits as baseline expectation
values for IMRT commissioning. A set of test cases was developed to assess the overall …

Intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) represents one of the most significant technical
advances in radiation therapy since the advent of the medical linear accelerator. It allows …

The sudden increase in COVID-19 cases is putting high pressure on healthcare services
worldwide. At this stage, fast, accurate and early clinical assessment of the disease severity is …

We report improved whole-genome shotgun sequences for the genomes of indica and
japonica rice, both with multimegabase contiguity, or almost 1,000-fold improvement over the …

In this work, we propose “global style tokens”(GSTs), a bank of embeddings that are jointly
trained within Tacotron, a state-of-the-art end-to-end speech synthesis system. The …

Zwitterionic ionic liquids (ZIL) contain covalently bound cationic and anionic moieties with
potential electrochemical applications. In this study, we construct a self-adaptive electric …

With the growing demands for large‐scale energy storage, Zn‐ion batteries (ZIBs) with
distinct advantages, including resource abundance, low‐cost, high‐safety, and acceptable …

We present an extension to the Tacotron speech synthesis architecture that learns a latent
embedding space of prosody, derived from a reference acoustic representation containing the …

The high demand for clean and renewable energy has fueled the exploration of advanced
energy storage systems. As a potential alternative device for lithium ion batteries, sodium ion …
