Timing restrictions on prosodic phrasing
No full textProsodic evidence for the existence of isochronal 2-2.5 sec speech production units is presented. Factors such as F0-declination patterns defined over these 2-2.5 sec. units, as well as boundary tones at the edges of these assumed planning units give support to the idea that prosodic structure serves as an important planning framework for an utterance. The findings provide support for the assumption of a ’Prosodic Planning Hypothesis’ such as that proposed by Shattuck-Hufnagel and Turk (1996) and Shattuck-Hufnagel (2000: 222), who assume that an utterance-specific frame ‘‘independent of its contents plays a role in production processing, and prosodic structure is a natural candidate for this structural frame’’. Similar ideas have also been presented by Wheeldon and Lahiri (1997: 377) who claim that ‘‘articulation is preceded by the generation of an abstract prosodic representation of an utterance’’. Breathing is assumed to play an important role in delimitation of the production units: Inspirations only occur at edges and can thus function as anchors for the grouping of speech into 2-2.5 sec speech chunks. Local prosodic information (pauses, boundary tones (H%/L%) and the timing restriction, can be used to make a further segmentation of spontaneous speech into 2-2.5 sec production units. The existence of such a timing restriction on speech planning can be used in the design of algorithms for the automatic segmentation of speech

High-fidelity Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state generation within nearby nodes
No full textGenerating entanglement in a distributed scenario is a fundamental task for implementing the quantum network of the future. We here report a protocol that uses only linear optics for generating Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states with high fidelities in a nearby node configuration. Moreover, we analytically show that the scheme is optimal for certain initial states in providing the highest success probability for sequential protocols. Finally, we give some estimates for the generation rate in a real scenario.QID/Wehner GroupQuantum Internet DivisionQuantum Information and Softwar

From physically active to physically inactive: Understanding the experiences of a familial carer's loss of self
No full textLevels of physical activity (PA) for carers are lower than non-carers (Carers UK, 2022). Literature indicates that these levels are lower than carers would like (Carers UK, 2019) and are due to participation barriers such as guilt, lack of time and fatigue (Horne et al., 2021). According to Horne et al. (2021), a greater understanding of these barriers is needed, as PA interventions for carers can offer important health benefits (e.g., Danucalov et al., 2015). This chapter presents a unique and insider perspective of these barriers to PA by offering an insight into how the caring role impacted on the social and physically active identity of a carer, who had previously enjoyed a positive relationship with PA. The carer in this research was the participant, co-researcher and second author, allowing for a reflective co-constructed analysis of his caring experiences and loss of athletic identity
