Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating speech from text. One of the systems includes one or more computers and one or more storage devices storing instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to implement: a sequence-to-sequence recurrent neural network configured to: receive a sequence of characters in a particular natural language, and process the sequence of characters to generate a spectrogram of a verbal utterance of the sequence of characters in the particular natural language; and a subsystem configured to: receive the sequence of characters in the particular natural language, and provide the sequence of characters as input to the sequence-to-sequence recurrent neural network to obtain as output the spectrogram of the verbal utterance of the sequence of characters in the particular natural language.

Abstract: A food processor and an electric motor for a food processor. The electric motor includes: a stator core having a ring-shaped stator yoke and a plurality of stator teeth provided at an inner peripheral face of the stator yoke, two adjacent stator teeth defining a stator slot there between, the plurality of the stator teeth defining a stator hole coaxial with the stator yoke, and an outer contour of a radial section of the stator yoke being substantially circular and having a maximum radial dimension D; and a rotor core rotatably provided in the stator hole and coaxial with the stator hole, the rotor core having a maximum radial dimension d, in which 0.4?d/D?0.55.

Abstract: A tissue engineering material for nerve injury repair, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof. The tissue engineering material for nerve injury repair is an N-cadherin crosslinked linear ordered collagen scaffold. By crosslinking N-cadherin with a linear ordered collagen scaffold, the prepared tissue engineering material can efficiently induce migration of neural stem cells towards an injury region so that the neural stem cells are enriched in the injury region, and can effectively inhibit deposition of inhibitory factors such as chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, promote differentiation of the neural stem cells into neurons, and then promote recovery of electrophysiological and motion functions. The N-cadherin crosslinked linear ordered collagen scaffold also has a stable ordered topological structure and excellent mechanical properties, and can be used to repair nerve injuries such as spinal cord injury.

Abstract: Provided is a three dimensional tissue scaffold comprising a stem cell attracting element associated with a matrix, and fusion protein of stem cell attracting factor and collagen-binding domain, and methods of uses thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides a whole-granulation steel slag pavement base course material for a heavy-load pavement, which is prepared by uniformly mixing dry materials with water. The dry materials include a binder and a steel slag aggregate. The percentages in total mass of the binder and the steel slag aggregate are as follows: the binder is 3.4% to 5.0%, and the steel slag aggregate is 95.0% to 96.6%. The binder is prepared by mixing cement with steel slag micropowder according to a certain proportion, wherein the mass percentages of the cement and the steel slag micropowder are as follows: the cement is 70% to 90%, and the steel slag micropowder is 10% to 30%. The water accounts for 5% to 6% of the total mass of the dry materials.
