0. In this article I would like to present a revised analysis of Putonghua onset-rime pairs. I will present a revised set of Putonghua onsets and rimes. These will be contrasted with some current assumptions about the content of each set. It will be observed that the set of onsets will be increased slightly whilst the number of Putonghua rimes will be significantly reduced. This analysis will b...

The desire for lightweight nanoporous materials with high-performance thermal insulation and efficient anti-ablation resistance for energy conservation and thermal protection/insulation has greatly motivated research and development recently. The main challenge to synthesize such lightweight materials is how to balance the relationship of low thermal conductivity and flame retardancy. Herein, w...

Previous work I has shown that the existing or experimentally altered gradients of inorganic ions or other substances between the environment and the vacuolar sap of impaled ceils of ttalicystis have little influence upon the large and steady potential difference measurable across the protoplasm. The r61e of the latter, with its inherent gradients and asymmetries was therefore emphasized in the...

The criminal justice system has traditionally been seen as in the business of doing justice: punishing offenders for crimes committed. Yet, the past decade has brought a shift from punishing past crimes to preventing future crimes through the incarceration and control of dangerous offenders. Habitual offender statutes, like "three strikes" laws, sentence repeat offenders to life imprisonment. J...

Recent psycholinguistic research has revealed a variety of significant intrasyllabic units, illustrating how segments can cohere into higher-order constituents within a syllable. Among these are the rime (for English and perhaps also Chinese), the body (for Korean), and the mora (for Japanese). However, the native speakers tested so far in all four of the language groups mentioned were all well...
