Based on EMA data, this study investigates timing and magnitude properties of lingual gestures involved in the production of European Portuguese /l/ in onset and coda positions. Syllable position effects were found: coordination pattern for syllable-initial /l/ is distinct from those observed for syllable-final /l/; the tongue dorsum is more retracted in the syllable-final /l/; /l/s in coda sho...

Coda is a file system for a large-scale distributed computing environment composed of Unix workstations. It provides resiliency to server and network failures through the use of two distinct but complementary mechanisms. One mechanism, server replication, involves storing copies of a file at multiple servers. The other mechanism, disconnected operation, is a mode of execution in which a caching...

The aim of the current study is to investigate the role of the input on an English-speaking child’s production of fricatives in onset and coda positions. Transcript data from a child-mother dyad from Providence Corpus (Demuth, Culbertson & Alter 2006) in CHILDES database (MacWhinney 2000) was examined. The child and the adult production frequency of fricatives in both onset and coda positions w...

Sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) clicks have a multi-pulse structure, a result of the reflection of sound energy between air sacs in the spermaceti organ. Although previous research revealed that usual clicks (used for echolocation) recorded away from a vocalizing whale's longitudinal axis have waveforms with poorly defined pulse structures, it has been unknown whether sperm whale coda clic...

Multiple-scattered waves usually are not useful for creating deterministic images of the interior of elastic media. However, in many applications, one is not so much interested in making a deterministic image as in detecting changes in the medium. Cases in point are volcano monitoring and measuring the change in hydrocarbon reservoirs during enhanced recovery operations. Coda wave interferometr...

In a sensitive cochlea, the basilar membrane response to transient excitation of any kind-normal acoustic or artificial intracochlear excitation-consists of not only a primary impulse but also a coda of delayed secondary responses with varying amplitudes but similar spectral content around the characteristic frequency of the measurement location. The coda, sometimes referred to as echoes or rin...

Most cross-linguistic variation in weight criteria is attributed to the parameterized application of Weight-by-Position adjunction to codas on a language-specific basis (Hayes 1989). This paper explores the hypothesis that coda weight is ultimately predictable from syllable structure. An extensive survey of quantity-sensitive stress systems shows that languages that allow a proportionately larg...
