TL;DR: To stimulate expressively-rich and vivid conversation, the ''4-frame cartoon sorting task'' was devised and the perceived emotional states of speakers can be accurately estimated from the speech parameters in most cases.

TL;DR: Sildenafil reduced PVR in patients with single ventricle physiology and increased exercise capacity and improved NYHA functional class in patients after a Fontan operation, implying that pulmonary vasodilation is a potential therapeutic target in selected patients with elevated PVR with single Ventricular physiology.

TL;DR: GLS and the dyssynchrony index found using CMR-FT are independent predictors of MACE for adolescent patients after the Fontan procedure and provide information regarding risk stratification beyond clinical parameters and biomarkers.

TL;DR: Finger movement detection experiments showed that each finger movement was more clearly detectable when comparing to EMGs recorded with conventional electrodes, suggesting that the Laplacian electrode module is more suitable for detecting the timing of finger movement during typing.

TL;DR: This paper describes spontaneous dialogue speech synthesis based on the multiple regression hidden semi-Markov model (MRHSMM), which enables users to specify paralinguistic information of synthesized speech with a dimensional representation, and confirmed that the naturalness of synthesizer speech was improved by applying the MAP estimation for regression matrices.
