The combinatorial interaction of suprasegmental and contextually induced segmental variations has been shown to produce independent coarticulatory effects. This study extended the locus equation (LE) methodology for the first time to a tonal language, Yoruba, in order to document how variations in tone might interact with CV coarticulation and to understand the patterning of its 4 voiced stops....

The μ-invariant μ = (μ1, μ2, μ3) of a rational space curve gives important information about the curve. In this paper, we describe the structure of all parameterizations that have the same μ-type, what we call a μ-stratum, and as well the closure of strata. Many of our results are based on papers by the second author that appeared in the commutative algebra literature. We also present new resul...

of course then depends not only on the point z but also on the direction of approach 8, that is, on the slope m = y' = dy/dx. The main theorem is that, plotted in the a, ß plane, the locus of points 7, corresponding to a given point z, is a circle (the derivative circlet), or more accurately a suitably parametrized circle, which I have termed a clock (the derivative clock). Various expressions ...

Abstract Let J g be the Jacobian locus and let P +1 Prym locus, in moduli space A of principally polarized abelian varieties dimension , for ≥ 7. We study extrinsic geometry ⊂ under inclusion provided by theory generalized introduced Beauville. More precisely, we address problem if certain geodesic curves, defined with respect to Siegel metric starting at a variety [ JC ] ∈ curve C M direction ...

Objective: The present study was designed to examine the college student's mental health predication model based on religious faith mediated by happiness, ambivalent attachment style and ‎locus of control. Methods: The method of study was correlational.  The statistical population included all college students of the Shiraz University in the academic year of 2013-2014.  The sample included 240...

We develop a formula (Theorem 5.1) which allows to compute top Chern classes of vector bundles on the vanishing locus V (s) of a section of this bundle. This formula particularly applies in the case when V (s) is the union of locally complete intersections giving the individual contribution of each component and their mutual intersections. We conclude with applications to the enumeration of rat...

We study a classical multitype Galton–Watson process with mutation and selection. The individuals are sequences of fixed length over a finite alphabet. On the sharp peak fitness landscape together with independent mutations per locus, we show that, as the length of the sequences goes to ∞ and the mutation probability goes to 0, the asymptotic relative frequency of the sequences differing on k d...
