Predictability Affects Spoken Phonological Systems Indirectly
ABSTRACT The last three decades have seen a large increase in attempts to explain phonetic and phonological patterns using information theoretic properties such as frequency and predictability. One recurring theme is the attempt to explain phonetic and phonological weakening as following directly from low information content. I argue that the actuation

Nonlinear dispersion phenomena in liquid media often lead to the formation of localized structures such as compact wave packets and dispersion drops. The present investigation demonstrates that the proposed analytical framework yields accurate approximate solutions, successfully captures compacton‐like structures, and clearly reveals the critical ...

Computational Modeling of Reticular Materials: The Past, the Present, and the Future
Reticular materials are advanced materials with applications in emerging technologies. A thorough understanding of material properties at operating conditions is critical to accelerate the deployment at an industrial scale. Herein, the status of computational modeling of reticular materials is reviewed, supplemented with topical examples highlighting ...

The Integration of Norse‐Derived Terms in English: Effects of Formal Similarity1
Abstract Language change arising from language contact is a complex phenomenon. Peter Matthews encouraged researchers to consider it as firmly grounded in the behaviour of individual speakers. We apply this perspective to investigate the integration of Norse‐derived terms into medieval English, testing for the effect of their phonetic similarity to ...

ABSTRACT Various biological cells secrete diffusing chemical compounds into their environment for communication purposes. Secretion usually takes place over the cell membrane in a spatially heterogeneous manner. Mathematical models of these processes will be part of more elaborate models, for example, of the movement of immune cells that react to ...

Modeling Dynamic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Using a Linearization Technique
This article investigates the modeling of dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Using a linearization technique, three mathematical models are defined – dynamic, stationary, and filtered. The results show a closeness of the dynamic model to the experimental practice and significant effects of nonstationarity in the low‐frequency region.

Quantum Algorithms for Quantum Molecular Systems: A Survey
Quantum algorithms for quantum molecular systems: from molecular encoding, to Hamiltonian simulation, static properties, and quantum advantage. ABSTRACT Solving quantum molecular systems presents a significant challenge for classical computation. The advent of early fault‐tolerant quantum computing devices offers a promising avenue to address these ...

Abstract We report evidence of sound symbolism for the abstract concept of time across seven experiments (total N = 825). Participants associated the future and past with distinct phonemes (Experiment 1). In particular, using nearly 8000 pseudowords, we found associations between the future and high front vowels and voiced fricatives/affricatives, and ...

Language Change Across Real and Apparent‐Time: Case Studies From Yucatan Spanish
ABSTRACT Variationist sociolinguistics possesses two powerful techniques for examining language change across time: real‐time analyses, where the relative distribution of variants is compared for two or more different points in time, and apparent‐time analysis, where different age groups in the same study are taken to represent different stages of ...
