Optimality Theory and Prosodic Morphology [PDF]
A central concern of Optimality Theory from its beginnings (McCarthy & Prince 1993a, Prince & Smolensky 1993/2004) has been to provide a coherent framework for formalizing the traditional problems prosodic morphology poses for morphological analysis.

The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Phonological derivation in optimality theory [PDF]
Optimality Theory is a constraint-based theory of phonology which allows constraints to be violated. Consequently, implementing the theory presents problems for declarative constraint-based processing frameworks. On the basis of two regularity assumptions, that candidate sets are regular and that constraints can be modelled by transducers, this paper ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Optimality and the Theory of Value
Let \(X_i\subset \mathbb{R}^q\) be the consumption set of the consumer \(i\) \((= 1,2,\dots, m)\). The complete and transitive preference relation \(\lesssim_i\) of the consumer \(i\) is represented by a continuous utility function \(u_i: X_i\to \mathbb{R}\). \(Y\) denotes the total production set of the economy. A pair \((x^*, p^*)\in \left(\prod^m_{i=

Object Agreement in Palauan: Specificity, Humanness, Economy, and Optimality [PDF]
Complex conditions on object agreement and preposition insertion in Palauan, conditioned by aspect, specificity, number, and humanness, are shown to follow from a modified version of Diesing's Mapping Hypothesis interacting with (ranked with respect to ...

Optimality and Wh-Extraction [PDF]
In this paper, we propose to start addressing the issues outlined above from the perspective of Optimality Theory (OT, Prince and Smolensky, 1993) and test the hypothesis that different patterns of extractability across languages result from different ...

CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

The Typology of Rounding Harmony: An Optimality Theoretic Approach [PDF]
This thesis explores the typology of rounding harmony within the framework of optimality theory. A systematic survey of the range of attested rounding harmony phenomena is presented and an analysis of this typology is proposed which invokes constraints ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
