Parallelism and Planes in Optimality Theory: Evidence from Afar [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
In this dissertation I show that the representations in Optimality Theory must be extended to allow multiple planes. The variable-position affixes in Afar occur as either prefixes or suffixes depending on the initial segment of the verb root. If the root

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Complex Inferential Processes Are Needed for Implicature Comprehension, but Not for Implicature Production

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
Upon hearing “Some of Michelangelo’s sculptures are in Rome,” adults can easily generate a scalar implicature and infer that the intended meaning of the utterance corresponds to “Some but not all Michelangelo’s sculptures are in Rome.” Comprehension ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Effect of Complexity on Speech Sound Development: Evidence From Meta-Analysis Review of Treatment-Based Studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
In the current study, we aimed at understanding the effect of exposure to complex input on speech sound development, by conducting a systematic meta-analysis review of the existing treatment-based studies employing complex input in children with speech ...

Autosegmental spreading in optimality theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper is a shorter version of ROA-1009 'Harmony in harmonic serialism'. Some material is omitted, but the overall presentation is probably clearer.The publisher of the book in which this excerpt appears does not permit the archiving of this or any ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Erasable/Inerasable L1 Transfer in Interlanguage Phonology: An Optimality Theory Analysis of /aʊn/ and Sentence Stress in Chinese Learners of English

open access: yesContemporary Social Sciences, 2022
The areas affected by the L1 transfer to L2, such as phonotactics and stress, appear to have different degrees of erasability through training and practice.

English loanwords in Thai and Optimality Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This study focuses on English loanwords in Thai, particularly the treatment of consonants in different environments, namely onset/coda simplification, laryngeal features, medial consonants, and liquid alternation, within the framework of Optimality ...
