Phonetic Faithfulness in Phonological Opacity by Kim, Yeong-Joon

“…The results of typological surveys encompassing 87 counterfeeding and 65 counterbleeding interactions across languages support this prediction, revealing that opacified processes are subject to a narrow range of markedness conditions, such as coarticulatory assimilation (e.g., palatalization) and durational adjustments (e.g., segmental weakening). Other types of phonological processes, particularly non-natural ones, are only rarely, if ever, opacified. …”

Flood risk analysis under consideration of river system dynamics and spatial temporal scales by Oliver, Julien

“…The risk-based approach, which quantifies both flooding frequencies and impacts, offers opportunities to design cost-efficient strategies to address all segments of the risk management cycle. While theoretically well established, current methods to quantify flood risks usually fail to capture adequately spatial and temporal dynamics of flood risks. …”

Functional characterisation of multiple sclerosis-­associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Eomesodermin region by Leach, O

“…SNPs in two such non-coding DNA segments upstream of the <em>EOMES</em> gene, encoding Eomesodermin (Eomes) have been consistently associated with MS, as well as with the two other autoimmune diseases rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). …”

Building fabric improvement and heat pump deployment: a set of policy conundrums by Killip, G, Topouzi, M, Fawcett, T

“…</p> <br> <p>The paper examines building interventions through the concept of 'trigger points.' It evaluates a segmented market approach and proposes a policy framework that emphasises 'understanding first' as a strategy to facilitate informed decision-making, rather than imposing specific measures. …”
