Re-evaluation of the ethylene-dependent and -independent pathways in the regulation of floral and organ abscission.
(England, 2019-03-11)Abscission is a developmental process with important implications for agricultural practices. Ethylene has long been considered as a key regulator of the abscission process. The existence of an ethylene-independent ... -
Productivity framework
(2018-12-01)Researchers look at skills shortages and careers pathways in the agrifood industry. Sustaining the agriculture, food and drink industries requires human capital. Current estimates calculate that the agrifood supply chain ... -
Field measurements and hydrodynamic modelling to evaluate the importance of factors controlling overwash
(2019-10-01)© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Overwash hydrodynamic datasets are mixed in quality and scope, being difficult to obtain due to fieldwork experimental limitations. Nevertheless, these measurements are crucial to develop reliable ... -
Prediction of Seabed Scour Induced by Full-Scale Darrieus-Type Tidal Current Turbine
<jats:p>Scour induced by a Darrieus-type tidal current turbine was investigated by using a joint numerical and experimental method with emphasis on the scour process of a full-scale turbine. This work proposes a new ... -
A neuroeconomics approach to inferring utility functions in sensorimotor control.
(United States, 2004-10)Making choices is a fundamental aspect of human life. For over a century experimental economists have characterized the decisions people make based on the concept of a utility function. This function increases with ... -
Real-time portable multi-layer perceptron voice fundamental-period extractor for hearing aids and cochlear implants
(1990-01-01)Previous work has shown that it is possible to train a multi-layer perceptron to estimate the voice fundamental period (Tx) for multiple speakers in the presence of high levels of background noise. The algorithm has been ... -
Two-level recognition of isolated word using neural nets
(1989-12-01)This paper describes a neural-net based isolated word recogniser that has a better performance on a standard multi-speaker database than our reference Hidden Markov Model recogniser. The complete neural net recogniser is ... -
Modeling motor pattern generation in the development of infant speech production
(2008-01-01)We previously proposed a non-imitative account of learning to pronounce, implemented computationally using discovery and mirrored interaction with a caregiver. Our model used an infant vocal tract synthesizer and its ... -
Teaching a vocal tract simulation to imitate stop consonants
(2005-12-01)The imitation of spoken stop consonants by an articulatory synthesizer using only general learning principles addresses significant issues in speech inversion and speech acquisition. Stop consonants are relatively large, ...
