The interaction between language usage and acoustic correlates of the Kuy register distinction
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.

Change and Contradiction: A Criticism of the Hegelian Account of Motion [PDF]
In his In Contradiction (1987), Priest levelled three powerful arguments against the received Russellian view of change and motion. He argued that his preferred paraconsistent theory of change, the Hegelian account, is immune from these objections.

Matter sound waves in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates [PDF]
The creation and propagation of sound waves in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) are investigated and a new method of wave generation in binary BEC mixtures is proposed.

The perceptual filtering of predictable coarticulation in exemplar memory
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
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.

Are our actions aligned with our evidence? The skinny on changing the landscape of obesity. [PDF]
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 ...

Sound radiation characteristics of a box-type structure [PDF]
The finite element and boundary element methods are employed in this study to investigate the sound radiation characteristics of a box-type structure. It has been shown [T.R. Lin, J.

The initiation and incrementation of sound change: Community-oriented momentum-sensitive learning
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
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 ...

Australian English Monophthong Change across 50 Years: Static versus Dynamic Measures
Most 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.
