The aims of this study are (1) to determine the acoustic pattern signaling that a syllable in Standard Chinese, SC, contains a nasal coda, and (2) specify the acoustic attributes that distinguish between the two places of articulation for a nasal coda. The "rst syllable in SC disyllabic words with simple vowels [a], [i], and [ə] was examined in di!erent contexts: (1) vowel with a nasal coda [n]...

Due to the storage limitation and imperfect prediction, mobile computing devices may experience large delays when accessing data on the distributed file systems. Flinn et al. [4] have proposed a novel architecture, called Data Staging, in which nearby untrusted and unmanaged surrogates are used as the secondary file cache for the client to reduce the remote file operation latency. A prototype s...

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants, which normally do not accumulate glycinebetaine (GB), are susceptible to chilling stress. Exposure to temperatures below 10 degrees C causes various injuries and greatly decreases fruit set in most cultivars. We have transformed tomato (cv. Moneymaker) with a chloroplast-targeted codA gene of Arthrobacter globiformis, which encodes choline oxidase ...

Many languages exhibit constraints on prosodic words, where lexical items must be composed of at least two moras of structure, or a binary foot. Demuth and Fee (1995) proposed that children demonstrate early sensitivity to word-minimality effects, exhibiting a period of vowel lengthening or vowel epenthesis if coda consonants cannot be produced. This paper evaluates this proposal by examining t...

A distinctive vocalization of the sperm whale, Physeter macrocephalus (=P. catodon), is the coda: a short click sequence with a distinctive stereotyped time pattern [Watkins and Schevill, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 62, 1485-1490 (1977)]. Coda repertoires have been found to vary both geographically and with group affiliation [Weilgart and Whitehead, Behav. Ecol. Sociobiol. 40, 277-285 (1997)]. In this ...

Wepresent a comprehensive studyof regional distanceP-coda recordedby amedium-aperture array station located in ChiangMai, Thailand (CMAR). Using array processing techniques, we analyzed data from 955 events that occurred at distances of 13°–30° with primarily continental paths. Nearly all significant, coherent arrivals in the P-coda traveled along the great circle path with ray parameters withi...

in persian, the only syllable type with consonant clusters is cvcc, where its coda can be filled with two consonants. the present article attempts to find whether these two consonant conform the sonority sequencing principle or not. for this reason, the persian words with cvcc syllable type are gathered from persian dictionaries and are classified based on the vowel filling the nucleus of the s...
