Abstract: Methods and systems provide an adaptive method of language learning using automatic speech recognition that allows a user to learn a new language using only their voice—and without using their hands or eyes. The system may be implemented in an application for a smartphone. Each lesson comprises a series of questions that adapt to the user's knowledge. The questions ask for the translation of a word or phrase by playing an audio prompt in the origin language, recording the user speaking the translation in the target language, indicating whether the utterance was correct or incorrect, and providing feedback related to the user's utterance. Each user response is evaluated in real time, and the application provides individualized feedback to the user based on their response. Subsequent questions in the lesson and future lessons are dynamically ordered to adapt to the user's knowledge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to populations of male and female non-human animals which can be induced to produce single sex populations, and which may comprise a heterologous gene of interest, preferably a neurodegenerative disease gene, which is expressed in a tissue specific manner. The invention also relates to methods for sorting a mixed population of non-human animal embryos and/or larvae into a single sex population.
