A DIACHRONIC ANALYSIS OF NDUT VOWEL HARMONY

A diachronic analysis of Ndut vowel harmony

Ndut is 27" Convection Wall Oven spoken in Senegal and belongs to the Cangin languages, a subgroup of the (West-) Atlantic languages (Sapir 1971).Unlike the other Cangin languages Noon, Laala and Saafi, Ndut, as well as closely related Pal or, exhibits apparently bidirectional vowel harmony.However, a phonological analysis suggests that there are t

Throughput maximization-based optimal power allocation for energy-harvesting cognitive radio networks with multiusers

Abstract An optimal power allocation (OPA) policy for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based cognitive radio networks (CRNs) using underlay spectrum access model is presented under multiple secondary users (SUs) with energy harvesting (EH).The proposed algorithm can allocate transmission power to each SU on each subcarrier with the

Characterization of a strain-specific CD-1 reference genome reveals potential inter- and intra-strain functional variability

Abstract Background CD-1 is an outbred mouse stock that is frequently used in toxicology, pharmacology, and fundamental biomedical research.Although inbred strains are typically better suited for such studies due to minimal genetic variability, outbred stocks confer practical advantages over inbred strains, such as improved breeding performance and

Quantification of Dry Matter Content in Hass Avocado by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Scanning Different Fruit Zones

Accurate dry matter determination (DM) in Hass avocados is vital for optimal harvesting and ensuring fruit quality.Predictive models based on NIRS need to capture fruit DM gradient.This work aimed to determine the DM content in Hass avocado whole by NIRS scanning different fruit zones.Spectra were recorded for each zone of the fruit: peduncle (P),
