Language Independent Query by Example Spoken Term Detection

Language independent query-by-example spoken term detection (QbE-STD) is the problem of retrieving audio documents from an archive, which contain a spoken query provided by a user. This is usually casted as a hypothesis testing and pattern matching problem ...

Studies of Two-Phase Flow at a Chute Aerator with Experiments and CFD Modelling

Michael Pfister

The chute aerator of a spillway is a structure in such a sense that air is, in the intense emulsification, entrained into the high-velocity water flow. Correctly predicting the air entrainment and two-phase flow pattern at the aerator would contribute to r ...

Urolithin A induces mitophagy and prolongs lifespan in C. elegans and increases muscle function in rodents

Johan Auwerx, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Patrick Aebischer, Laurent Mouchiroud, Pénélope Andreux, Dongryeol Ryu, Evan Graehl Williams, Elena Katsyuba, Norman Lionel Moullan, Pooja Jha, Damien Sébastien Huzard, Giuseppe Lo Sasso

The biological effects of urolithins remain poorly characterized, despite wide-spread human exposure via the dietary consumption of their metabolic precursors, the ellagitannins, which are found in the pomegranate fruit, as well as in nuts and berries. We ...

From the early steps of whisker formation to its evolutionary disappearance: the (curious) case of Prdm1 and its regulation

Pierluigi Giuseppe Manti

Whiskers (also known as vibrissae) are sensory organs that are thought to have first appeared in Therapsida, a group of synapsids that includes mammals and evolutionary ancestors like the Thrinaxodon(1). They are highly conserved among mammals to the notab ...

Combined function of HoxA and HoxB clusters in neural crest cells

Denis Duboule, Maxence Vieux-Rochas

The evolution of chordates was accompanied by critical anatomical innovations in craniofacial development, along with the emergence of neural crest cells. The potential of these cells to implement a craniofacial program in part depends upon the (non-)expre ...

Zebrafish hmx1 promotes retinogenesis

Ocular development is controlled by a complex network of transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, and diffusible signaling molecules. Together, these molecules regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis and specify retinal fate. In the zebrafish (Danio re ...

Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells

Yann Barrandon, Stéphanie Claudinot, Paola Bonfanti, Alessandro Wataru Amici

The thymus develops from the third pharyngeal pouch of the anterior gut and provides the necessary environment for thymopoiesis (the process by which thymocytes differentiate into mature T lymphocytes) and the establishment and maintenance of self-toleranc ...

Enhanced Phone Posteriors for Improving Speech Recognition Systems

Hervé Bourlard, Hamed Ketabdar

Using phone posterior probabilities has been increasingly explored for improving automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. In this paper, we propose two approaches for hierarchically enhancing these phone posteriors, by integrating long acoustic context, ...

Rostral and caudal pharyngeal arches share a common neural crest ground pattern

Denis Duboule

In vertebrates, face and throat structures, such as jaw, hyoid and thyroid cartilages develop from a rostrocaudal metameric series of pharyngeal arches, colonized by cranial neural crest cells (NCCs). Colinear Hox gene expression patterns underlie arch spe ...

Monte Carlo model for the photoluminescence kinetics of a quantum dot embedded in a nanocavity

Vincenzo Savona, Guillaume Jean Tarel

We address the problem of the photoluminescence of a quantum (QD) dot in a nanocavity, with focus on the case of nonzero detuning. In this regime, experiments have shown that strong emission from the cavity-like peak is still present for dot-cavity detunin ...
