Glide formation, a process whereby an underlying high front vowel is realized as a palatal glide, is shown to occur only in unstressed prevocalic position in German, and to be blocked by specific surface restrictions such as *ji and *“j. Traditional descriptions of glide formation (including derivational as well as Optimality theoretic approaches) refer to the syllable in order to capture its c...

We propose two resource management methods; a scheduling policy that re ects resource consumption states and a memory-replacement strategy based on page classi cation under distributed shared memory architecture. The performances of the two mechanisms are evaluated by a probabilistic simulation. An instruction-level simulator simulates variety of process sets with nite resources on proposed res...

This research looks at the efficiency of the honeyd honeypot system to reliably deceive intruders. Honeypots are being used as frontline network intelligence and forensic analysis tools. A honeypots ability to reliably deceive intruders is a key factor in gathering reliable and forensically sound data. Honeyd’s primary deceptive mechanism is the use of the NMAP fingerprint database to provide b...

Accessory ossicles of the foot and ankle are normal variants of bone development that usually remain asymptomatic. However, they may be involved in various disorders and become a source of pain such as in fractures, dislocations, degenerative changes, osteonecrosis, osteoarthritis, osteochondral lesions, avascular necrosis, and irritation or impingement of adjacent soft tissues. Hence, during t...

Audiovisual interaction was found on the perception of frequency glide of linear sweep tones. The auditory and visual stimuli were designed to simulate the formant trajectories of the syllables that induced the McGurk effect. Linear sweep tones were used for the auditory stimuli. For the visual stimuli, moving spheres were used. The frequency glide was differently perceived depending on the sph...

This paper presents an analysis of DRESS and FLEECE in the speech of 80 New Zealanders. We show that DRESS is continuing to raise as part of the New Zealand English front vowels chain shift until it has almost completely overlapped the space occupied by FLEECE. In response, FLEECE is developing a more pronounced on-glide, so that a long vowel is becoming caught up in what has been a short vowel...

The purpose of this paper is to test whether the Simple Syllable Structure (SSS) proposed by Duanmu (1990:[2]) is true of English onsets or not. If the SSS holds for English onset, English onglides should be secondary articulations on the onset consonant rather than separate sounds. We will test this by measuring the duration of the initial consonant –glide combination, to determine whether it ...

The current paper presents the results of a preliminary survey of vowel harmony systems. The purpose of this survey is to gain a better understanding of transparency in vowel harmony; both vowel transparency and glide transparency. In §2, I lay out how I selected the languages for inclusion in the current survey of harmony systems. Additionally, I outline what information I collected about each...
