This paper describes the software architecture of the Portuguese text-to-speech system DIXI. The system has three major modules. The rst one contains the text normalizer and searches each word in the lexicon. The second one is a multi-level rule based module for lexical stress assignment, orthographic to phonetic transcription, metrically based prosodic patterning and for generating the evoluti...

As a participant in the W-NUT Lexical Normalization for English Tweets challenge, we use deep learning to address the constrained task. Specifically, we use a combination of two augmented feed forward neural networks, a flagger that identifies words to be normalized and a normalizer, to take in a single token at a time and output a corrected version of that token. Despite avoiding off-the-shelf...

We assessed the length and the quality of remission of 13 unipolar endogenous depressed patients, DST non-suppressors before treatment, in a 2-year prospective study. During this period, we recorded stressful life events. Persistent dexamethasone non-suppression, after treatment and complete clinical recovery, correlated highly with early clinical relapse. All six non-normalizers but only one n...

Given a unital algebra A of linear transformations on finite-dimensional complex vector space V, in this paper we study the set Col(A) consisting those invertible S V which map every subspace M∈Lat(A) to SM∈Lat(A). We show that is normalizer group reflexive cover A. For (A) generated by transformation A, give complete description Col(A). By using primary decomposition first reduce problem chara...

Given an infinite graph of profinite groups ( $${\cal G}$$ , Γ) we construct a $$\overline {\cal G} ,\overline \Gamma $$ ) such that Γ is densely embedded in the fundamental group $${\Pi _1}\left( {\overline } \right)$$ completion $${\pi {{\cal G},\Gamma and standard tree $$S\left( embeds . This answers Ribes’ question [5, Question 6.7.1]. Generalizing main results [8] [2] answer two other ques...

We develop the theory of semisimplifications tensor categories defined by Barrett and Westbury. In particular, we compute semisimplification category representations a finite group in characteristic p terms normalizer its Sylow p-subgroup. This allows us to representation symmetric Sn+p p, where 0 ≤ n − 1, Deligne $$ \underline { \mathop {\mathrm {Rep}} \nolimits }^{\mathrm {ab}}S_t$$ , t ∈ℕ. a...

Quantitative RT-PCR is an important technique for assessing gene expression. However, a proper normalization of reference genes prior to expression analyses of target genes is necessary. The best normalizer is that gene which remains stable in all samples from different treatments. The aim of this study was to identify stable reference genes for normalization of target genes in muscle tissue fr...
