Vegetation phenology that characters the periodic life cycles of plants is indicative of the interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere. Robust modelling of vegetation phenology metrics that correspond to canopy development events is essential to our understanding of how plants and ecosystems respond to a changing climate. Given considerable uncertainties associated with vegetation...
Electrokinetically controlled microinjection is reported as an effective transport mechanism for microinjection into the wild‐type strain of the widely studied model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. A microinjection system using glass capillary pipettes was developed to capture and impale the motile cells. To apply an electric field and induce electrokinetic flow (e.g., electrophoresis and electroosmosis),...
This paper studies relations of F1, F2, and F3 of vowels, spoken at reading speed by 3 speakers of 2 languages (Yi and Mandarin Chinese). The results show that vowel Formants keep stable relation of Logarithmic Quotient (Z value, Z1=log F2/log F1, Z2=log F3/log F2). The ratio of Standard deviation and Average keeps below 3% for most vowels. Varying degree keeps below 3% for different speakers. This...
Based on data retrieved from Unified Minority Speech Parameter Database Platform, this paper examines main acoustic parameters of Uigur vowels of two speakers (MA2 & FE2). We have found following facts regarding Uigur vowels: vowel acoustic space is closely related with duration, which is affected by syllabic position, number and type. For vowel in word-initial CV and V syllable, vowel duration...
Building Unified Acoustic Parameter Databases of Minority Languages in China is a pioneering work, which could promote standardization and computerization of minority phonetics, provide scientific evidences for speech education, speech recognition & speech synthesis, protect weak and endangered languages with modern and scientific means, ensure resources sharing and continuance of phonetic research...
This paper introduces the current primary functionalities, characteristics and usages of Unified Minority Speech Parameter Database Platform Software as well as future-expanded functions. By using the platform, we can accomplish acoustic parameter retrieval, statistics and analysis of established Tibetan, Uigur and Yi broadcasting acoustic parameter databases. After adding acoustic parameters of more...
