First, the emotion recognition is adopted as a pre-processing part to classify the neutral and emotional speech. Then, the recognized emotion speech is adjusted by prosody modification. Different methods including Gaussian normalization, the Gaussian mixture model （GMM） and support vector regression （SVR） are adopted to define the mapping rules of F0s between emotional and neutral speech, and the average linear ratio is used for the duration modification. Finally, the modified emotional speech is employed for the speaker recognition. The experimental results show that the proposed ESRS can significantly improve the performance of emotional speaker recognition, and the identification rate （IR） is higher than that of the traditional recognition system. The emotional speech with F0 and duration modifications is closer to the neutral one.展开更多

TGF-β2(9 μg/L) altered HCE cell morphology after treatment for 36 h, increased the mean optical density(P 【0.01) and the length of F-actin,reduced the mean optical density(P 【0.01) of the collagen type IV in extracellular matrix(ECM) and induced the rearrangement of F-actin, microtubule in cytoplasm and collagen type IV in ECM after treatment for 72 h.·CONCLUTION: TGF-β2 has obviously alterative effect on the morphology of HCECs from polygonal phenotype to enlarged spindle-shaped phenotype, in dose and time-dependence manner by inducing more, elongation and alignment of F-actin, rearrangement of microtubule and larger spread area of collagen type IV.展开更多

The results showed that F. vesca seeds germination rate was the highest while seeds were cultured in water, and the germination rate was the lowest while seeds were cultured on MS medium supplemented with hormone; the germination rates that seeds cultured on two and three layers filter paper were higher than that seeds cultured on four and five layers filter paper. In vitro adventitious regeneration efficiency was affected by different explants types. The significant difference was existed between petioles and leaves. When using the same type explants, in vitro adventitious buds regeneration rate and the average number of buds per explant between Ruegen （RE） and Yellow Wonder （YW） had no significant difference. RE to Agrobacterium tumefaciens was more sensitive than YW. Using seedling leaves of RE and YW as materials, an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system was developed. In this system, the concentration of bacteria was OD600=0.5, the explants were immersed in bacteria broth for 9 min, the co-cultured time was 2 days, and had no pre-cultured time. The percentage of explants with resistant buds of RE and YW was compared. The putative transformed plants were confirmed by PCR.展开更多
