Quality of service (QoS) analysis frameworkn for text to speech (TTS) services
… quality of services (QoS) for text to speech (TTS) web services. To achieve this goal, the framework combines two main mechanisms for measuring the speech quality. General quality attributes measure the response time of TTS services, specific quality attributes measure intelligibility and …

Takotsubo Syndrome: Precipitants, Clinical Course and Emerging Treatments
… Clinically, patients with Takotsubo Syndrome(TTS) presents similarly to that of acute coronary syndromes(ACS). Recent evidence has demonstrated that not only is TTS a common condition, like ACS, it is also associated with significant morbidity and mortality in the short- and long-term. It is …

Astringency and other oral sensations : biological sources of individual variation and association with food and beverage behaviour
… taster status (PTS); and thermal taster status (TTS), a recently reported index of orosensory responsiveness. Taster status in PTS and/or TTS confers greater responsiveness to most orosensory stimuli. Gender, age, ethnicity, and fungiform papillae (FP) density were not associated with orosensory …

Genetic Analysis of Taste in Homo Sapiens
… taster status (PTS), thermal taster status (TTS), and orosensory sensation intensity ratings. PTS is a proxy for general taste responsiveness, and the ability to taste PROP classifies individuals into three phenotypes: super (PST), medium (PMT), and non-tasters (PNT). Another taste phenotype, …

Actors & Allies: Foreign Policy & the Strategic Value of Satisfaction— Examining Military Arms Transfers as a Measure of Trust
… constructed, termed the Total Transaction Score (TTS), incorporates aspects of a Weapon Effectiveness Index (WEI) calculation (which focuses on “war gaming”) to provide a more nuanced understanding of the lethality of the equipment from each arms transfer. This study examined US missile transfers …

Security of Unbalanced Oil-Vinegar Signature Scheme
… the first half, we focus on TTS (Tame Transformation Signature) systems. We find a structure attack to defeat a family of TTS systems. Then we have the related complexity analysis to claim that a family of TTS systems can be broken in the time complexity …

Design of an advanced Text-To-Speech system for Afrikaans
… in South Africa. The need for an Afrikaans TTS system comes with the growing interest in integrating speech technology in all eleven languages of the country. The ultimate goal here is to enable communication between man and machine using speech. This can be achieved with the use of speech …

Virulence associated functions and vaccine potential of the burkholderia mallei type three secretion effector BopA
… cells requires the type III secretion system (TTSS), although the effector protein(s) involved are unknown. Additionally, previous reports have documented that B. mallei TTSS is required for phagosomal membrane lysis and bacterial escape into the macrophage cytoplasm. While progress has been …

Advancing characterization techniques for structure-property determination of in-situ lignocelluloses
… thermal scans, Time/temperature superposition (TTS) and fragility analysis. Plasticizing solvents and wood grain orientation significantly affected the lignin glass-transition temperature. Dynamic TTS reveals that while all storage modulus data shift smoothly, the thermorheological complexity of …

Economic implications of a computerized trading system for grains
… between the current telephone trading system (TTS) used to trade cash grain and a computerized trading system (CTS). Three steps were necessary to accomplish this task. First, the past and present TTS were explored through a historical case study and a survey of grain traders, respectively. …

Der Einfluss lokaler Ionenkonzentrationsänderungen in Membrannähe bei Voltage-Clamp-Messungen am Modellsystem Skelettmuskel
… daß extrazelluläre Konzentrationsänderungen im TTS des Skelettmuskels den zeitlichen Verlauf signifikant beeinflussen. Interessanterweise wird zur Beschreibung der zeitlichen Entwicklung der Ca2+-Ströme keine zusätzlichen Ca2+-induzierte Inaktivierung benötigt um eine sehr gute Übereinstimmung …

Comparison between rule-based and data-driven natural language processing algorithms for Brazilian Portuguese speech synthesis
… smartphones, the development of Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems have become highly demanded during the last years. An important part of these systems is the Text Analysis block, that converts the input text into linguistic specifications that are going to be used to generate the final speech …

Identifying Risk Exposure in a Global Retail Supply Chain
… based on the principles of time-to-survive (TTS) and time-to-recovery (TTR). We examine two definitions for TTS. In a supply disruption scenario, TTS represents the time a supply chain can continue to operate before facing performance impact. In a demand disruption, TTS𝑑 measures the time a …

Optimizing the Supply Chain Design for Sourcing and Supply of Critical Materials
… and criticality, we applied the Time-to-Survive (TTS) and Time-to-Recover (TTR) framework to identify high risk materials and supply nodes. TTR is the time for a supply chain to recover after a disruption at a particular node. TTS is the time the supply chain can continue operations based on …

Finding Sparse Subnetworks in Self-Supervised Speech Recognition and Speech Synthesis
… the second study, we extend PARP to end-to-end TTS, including both spectrogram prediction networks and vocoders. We thoroughly investigate the tradeoffs between sparsity and its subsequent effects on synthetic speech. The findings suggest that not only are end-to-end TTS models highly prunable, …

Long-term ground response For borehole heat exchangers in clay
… Cheng (2013). The proposed Tsinghua Thermosoil (TTS) model is capable of simulating the cyclic thermo-mechanical response more realistically than other available constitutive models and can describe the accumulation of volumetric strain due to cyclic heating and cooling. Irreversible deformations …

The effects of part–of–speech tagging on text–to–speech synthesis for resource–scarce languages
… of the project is more natural text-to-speech (TTS) voices. Naturalness is primarily determined by prosody and it is shown that many aspects of prosodic modelling is, in turn, dependent on part-of-speech (POS) information. Solving the POS problem is, therefore, a prudent first step towards …

Improving Attention-based Sequence-to-sequence Models
… speech synthesis, also known as Text-To-Speech (TTS). These models are often autoregressive, which leads to high modeling capacity, but also makes training difficult. The standard training approach, teacher forcing, suffers from exposure bias: during training the model is guided with the …

Enhancing service providers reliability by mitigating supply chain risk : the case of telecommunication networks
… of the Time to Recovery (TTR) / Time to Survive (TTS) framework is shown to fit the service domain. TTR represents the time it takes for a supply chain system to recover from a disrupted supplier. TTS represents the time a supply chain system can continue to operate while its sources of supply are …
