Quantitative Analysis Linking Inner Hair Cell Voltage Changes and Postsynaptic Conductance Change: A Modelling Study [PDF]
, 2015 This paper presents a computational model which estimates the postsynaptic conductance change of mammalian Type I afferent peripheral process when airborne acoustic waves impact on the tympanic membrane. A model of the human auditory periphery is used to

The interaction between language usage and acoustic correlates of the Kuy register distinction
Laboratory Phonology, 2023 Contact is often cited as an explanation for the convergence of areal features and has been proposed as an explanation for the emergence of tonal languages in Mainland Southeast Asia.

Harmonic hopping, and both punctuated and gradual evolution of acoustic characters in Selasphorus hummingbird tail-feathers. [PDF]
, 2014 Models of character evolution often assume a single mode of evolutionary change, such as continuous, or discrete. Here I provide an example in which a character exhibits both types of change.

The perceptual filtering of predictable coarticulation in exemplar memory
Laboratory Phonology, 2020 Exemplar models of word representations have remained ambivalent or impressionistic as to precisely what veridical auditory information is stored in individual word exemplars.

Evolution and Trade-Off Dynamics of Functional Load
Entropy, 2022 Functional load (FL) quantifies the contributions by phonological contrasts to distinctions made across the lexicon. Previous research has linked particularly low values of FL to sound change.

Doubled up all over again: borrowing, sound change and reduplication in Iwaidja [PDF]
, 2016 This article examines the interactions between reduplication, sound change, and borrowing, as played out in the Iwaidja language of Cobourg Peninsula, Arnhem Land, in Northern Australia, a non-Pama-Nyungan language of the Iwaidjan family.

The initiation and incrementation of sound change: Community-oriented momentum-sensitive learning
Glossa, 2020 This article presents a theory of the initiation and incrementation mechanisms whereby individual phonetic innovations become community-wide sound changes.

Sound Waves in (2+1) Dimensional Holographic Magnetic Fluids
, 2008 We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study propagation of sound waves in strongly coupled (2+1) dimensional conformal magnetic fluids. Our computation provides a nontrivial consistency check of the viscous magneto-hydrodynamics of Hartnoll-Kovtun-Muller ...

Are our actions aligned with our evidence? The skinny on changing the landscape of obesity. [PDF]
, 2013 Recent debate about the role of food deserts in the United States (i.e., places that lack access to healthy foods) has prompted discussion on policies being enacted, including efforts that encourage the placement of full-service supermarkets into food ...

Australian English Monophthong Change across 50 Years: Static versus Dynamic Measures
LanguagesMost analyses of monophthong change have historically relied on static acoustic measures. It is unclear the extent to which dynamic measures can shed greater light on monophthong change than can already be captured using such static approaches.
