African Lambdas II: Formal Semantics of African Languages—The Verbal and Clausal Domain

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The formal semantic analysis of African languages is still a young subfield within theoretical linguistics. Starting with general overviews of the quantifier systems of individual African languages around two decades ago, there now exists a substantial body of fieldwork‐based and autochthonous formal semantic research conducted by both African

A review on radiochromic film dosimetry in radiation therapy

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Radiochromic films (RCFs) are ubiquitous in radiation oncology clinical and research settings to measure the radiation dose over a two‐dimensional (2D) area due to their high spatial resolution, water‐equivalency, and relative ease‐of‐use. Upon irradiation, the constituent monomers of the active layer of RCFs undergo polymerization, leading to

A model for phenotype change in a stochastic framework

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2010
In some species, an inducible secondary phenotype will develop sometime after the environmental change that evokes it. Nishimura (2006)[4] showed how an individual organism should optimizethe time it takes to respond to an environmental change ...

Quarkonia and the Pole Mass [PDF]

, 1998
The pole mass of a heavy quark is ambiguous by an amount of order $\Lambda_{QCD}$. We show that the heavy-quark potential, $V(r)$, is similarly ambiguous, but that the total static energy, $2M_{pole}+V(r)$, is unambiguous when expressed in terms of a ...
