Rhoticity in Chinese English: An experimental investigation on the realization of the variant (r) in an Expanding Circle variety [PDF]
The realization of postvocalic /r/ has been frequently examined in both diachronic and synchronic research on world Englishes, showing a multitude of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors to modulate the degree of rhoticity.

THE ROLE OF TRAJECTORY IN THE FUNCTION OF RESEARCH PTO TRANSMISSIONS [PDF]
In this paper, the kinematics of the motion of an inner moving circle along a twice as large fixed outer circle will be considered. Such circles are known in science as Cardan circles. Specifically, within this topic of the paper, cases will be presented
