This chapter describes the basic protocols for solid-phase peptide synthesis using the Fmoc group as the N (α)-protecting group (Fmoc-SPPS). The chapter introduces resins and their handling, choice of linkers, and the most common methods for peptide chain assembly. The proper choice of resins and linkers for solid-phase synthesis is a key parameter for successful peptide synthesis. This chapter...

This paper presents a new technique for synthesizing visual speech from arbitrarily given text. The technique is based on an algorithm for parameter generation from HMM with dynamic features, which has been successfully applied to text-to-speech synthesis. In the training phase, syllable HMMs are trained with visual speech parameter sequences that represent lip movements. In the synthesis phase...

LPVTools is a toolbox aimed at helping users design parameter dependent control systems using the Linear Parameter-Varying framework (LPV). LPVTools contains data structures to represent LPV systems in MATLAB® and Simulink®, and a collection of functions and tools for model reduction, analysis, synthesis and simulation in the LPV framework.

For a two-variable formula B(X,Y) of Monadic Logic of Order (MLO) the Church Synthesis Problem concerns the existence and construction of a finite-state operator Y=F(X) such that B(X,F(X)) is universally valid over Nat. Büchi and Landweber (1969) proved that the Church synthesis problem is decidable. We investigate a parameterized version of the Church synthesis problem. In this extended versio...

One crucial point of concatenation approaches using diphones is to handle the discontinuities between the concatenated units. This problem is treated by a suitable analysis of the diphones for a parametric synthesis. The model of the parametric synthesis is the lossy tube model, which is an extension of the standard lattice filter considering frequency dependent vocal tract losses. The paramete...

Any vital activities of the cell are based on the ribosomes, which not only provide the basic machinery for the synthesis of all proteins necessary for cell functioning during growth and division, but for biogenesis itself. From this point of view, ribosomes are self-replicating and autocatalytic structures. In current work we present an elementary model in which the autocatalytic synthesis of ...

This paper proposes a synthesis framework that synthesizes sho-like sounds with the same articulations as the given input signal. This approach has three components: acoustic feature extraction, physical parameter estimation, and synthesis. At the acoustic feature extraction part, amplitude and fundamental frequency of the input signal were extracted, and the parameter estimation part converts ...
