Inter- and intra-speaker variation in French schwa
Quantitative constraint-based theories of optionality typically aim to model the frequency with which an individual speaker’s grammar maps one input onto various output forms.

“Sassy Queens”: Stylistic orthographic variation in Twitter and the enregisterment of AAVE
Abstract Recent computational sociolinguistic analyses of social media have emphasized the potential of using orthographic variation as a proxy for speech, thereby permitting macro‐level quantitative studies of regional and social variation (e.g. Eisenstein, 2015).

Intraspeaker Comparisons of Acoustic and Articulatory Variability in American English /r/ Productions [PDF]
The purpose of this report is to test the hypothesis that speakers utilize an acoustic, rather than articulatory, planning space for speech production. It has been well-documented that many speakers of American English use different tongue configurations

Individual-level contact limits phonological complexity: Evidence from bunched and retroflex /ɹ/ [PDF]
We compare the complexity of idiosyncratic sound patterns involving American English /ɹ/ with the relative simplicity of clear/dark /l/ allophony patterns found in English and other languages. For /ɹ/, we report an ultrasound-based articulatory study of

Design space for low sensitivity to size variations in [110] PMOS nanowire devices: The implications of anisotropy in the quantization mass [PDF]
A 20-band sp3d5s* spin-orbit-coupled, semi-empirical, atomistic tight-binding model is used with a semi-classical, ballistic, field-effect-transistor (FET) model, to examine the ON-current variations to size variations of [110] oriented PMOS nanowire devices.

Matrix variate and tensor variate Laplace distributions [PDF]
In this article, we define a matrix variate asymmetric Laplace distribution. We prove some properties of the matrix variate asymmetric Laplace distribution. We prove the relationship between the matrix variate asymmetric Laplace distribution and other distributions. We define a matrix variate generalized asymmetric Laplace distribution.
