ON THE RELIABILITY OF MICROVARIABILITY TESTS IN QUASARS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2014 Microvariations probe the physics and internal structure of quasars. Unpredictability and small flux variations make this phenomenon elusive and difficult to detect. Variance based probes such as the C and F tests, or a combination of both, are popular methods to compare the light-curves of the quasar and a comparison star.

Micro-Contact in Southern Italy: Language Change in Southern Lazio under Pressure from Italian
Languages, 2022 This paper explores a novel case of contact-induced change due to micro-contact within Italy, where various Italo-Romance languages coexist (Standard Italian, Italiano Regionale ‘regional Italian’, and numerous local languages).

Glossa, 2020 This paper investigates dialectal microvariation across the Spanish-speaking world in terms of the presence/absence of que in sí-que contexts. The function of this construction is to signal the speaker’s commitment to the truth of the proposition.

Variation in Kimakunduchi and Standard Swahili:Insights from verbal morphosyntax
Linguistique et Langues Africaines, 2022 This paper explores variation between Kimakunduchi and Standard Swahili with a focus on verbal morphosyntax. With several varieties of Swahili identified and described over the years, here we focus on the Kimakunduchi variety spoken in the south-east of ...

Microvariability in Seyfert Galaxies
The Astronomical Journal, 2003 We present the results of a search for microvariability in a sample of eight Seyfert galaxies. Microvariability (i.e., variations occurring on timescales of tens of minutes to hours) has been conclusively demonstrated to exist in the class of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) known as blazars. Its existence in other classes of AGNs is far less certain.

The Microvariable Activity of BL Lacertae [PDF]
Galaxies, 2020 We report on seven nights of optical observation taken over a two-week period, and the resultant analysis of the intermediate-frequency peaked BL Lac object (IBL), BL Lac itself, at redshift z = 0.069. The microvariable behavior can be confirmed over the course of minutes for each night.

OPTICAL MICROVARIABILITY IN QUASARS: SPECTRAL VARIABILITY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We present a method that we developed to discern where the optical microvariability (OM) in quasars originates: in the accretion disk (related to thermal processes) or in the jet (related to non-thermal processes). Analyzing nearly simultaneous observations in three different optical bands of continuum emission, we are able to determine the origin of ...

Variation in differential object marking: On some differences between Spanish and Romanian
Open Linguistics, 2020 Although differential object marking (DOM) has been studied from a multitude of perspectives, research into the types of variation it allows in closely related languages is still needed.

Dative Microvariation in African Varieties of Portuguese
Journal of Portuguese Linguistics, 2022 In this paper we compare dative ditransitive structures in nativized and nativizing urban varieties of Portuguese spoken in Angola, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe, using a corpus-based approach. It is shown that the expression
