Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).

Syllable classification using static matrices and prosodic features [PDF]

, 2010
In this paper we explore the usefulness of prosodic features for syllable classification. In order to do this, we represent the syllable as a static analysis unit such that its acoustic-temporal dynamics could be merged into a set of features that the ...

Pulmonalis or Pulmonaris? It's Elementarius, My Dear Watson

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adjectival suffix ‐alis and its allomorph ‐aris are very common in the anatomical nomenclature; however, rules governing differential usage, such as ‐aris substituting for ‐alis following an ‐l‐, leave many exceptions. Here, we report an empirical study of 985 adjectives with ‐alis and ‐aris suffixes used in Terminologia Anatomica (2nd ed.)

Analysis of the Word-Initial Segment with Reference to Lemmatising Zulu Nasal Nouns

Lexikos, 2012
<p>The process of lemmatising nasal nouns in the Zulu lexicon is problematic. The traditional method is to lemmatise a Zulu lexical noun by etymological noun-stem. This practice creates difficulties in harmonising lexical nouns with their syntactic

Syllable Structure and the Distribution of Phonemes in English Syllables

Journal of Memory and Language, 1997
Abstract In describing the phonotactics (patterning of phonemes) of English syllables, linguists have focused on absolute restrictions concerning which phonemes may occupy which slots of the syllable. To determine whether probabilistic patterns also exist, we analyzed the distributions of phonemes in a reasonably comprehensive list of uninflected ...
