A Monophonemic Analysis of Prenasalized Consonants in Saramaccan
Journal of Ibero-Romance Creoles, 2013 This paper describes Saramaccan prenasalized consonants. We demonstrate that a phonetic analysis of consonant duration, and the duration of vowels preceding prenasalized consonants confirms phonological descriptions that characterize these units as ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

How widespread is preaspiration in Italy? [PDF]
, 2010 Preaspiration is a comparatively rare phonetic feature, almost entirely confined to languages spoken in far northwestern Europe (Andersen 2002; Helgason 2002).

Syllable processing is organized in discrete subregions of the human superior temporal gyrus.
PLoS BiologyModular organization at approximately 1 mm scale could be fundamental to cortical processing, but its presence in human association cortex is unknown.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Retroflex Consonant Harmony: An Areal Feature in South Asia
, 2015 Retroflexion is a well-known areal feature of South Asia. Most South Asian languages, regardless of their genetic affiliation, contrast retroflex consonants with their non-retroflex dental counterparts.

Consonant-Vowel Encoding and Orthosyllables in a Case of Acquired Dysgraphia
, 2000 An acquired dysgraphic patient-BA-is described who produces a large proportion of nonword responses. It is shown that single letter substitutions tend to preserve consonant-vowel status and that the majority of errors are orthographically legal.

Is there a place for creativity in onomatopoeia-formation?
Acta PsychologicaThe purpose of the paper is to fill existing gaps in research by examining the role of divergent thinking abilities of language users, that is, their creative potential, in the formation of onomatopoeia.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...
