Against Root Faithfulness in Cupeño Stress

Noun Faithfulness and Word Stress in Tuyuca

Recent research within the Optimality Theory (OT) framework (Prince & Smolensky 1993; McCarthy & Prince 1993, 1995) has suggested that domain-specific, or positional, faithfulness constraints play an important role in the grammar (e.g., Alderete 1995; Beckman 1995, 1998; Lombardi 1996; McCarthy & Prince 1995; Padgett 1995). This paper proposes that among the salient domains that have specific f...

Faithfulness and Exceptionality in Polish Stress∗ A Multistratal OT Analysis

A body of work has established that the broad details of word stress in Polish meet with straightforward analysis in a variety of theoretical frameworks (Comrie 1976; Franks 1985; Hayes and Puppel 1985; Rubach and Booij 1985; Halle and Vergnaud 1987; Hammond 1989; Idsardi 1992; Kraska-Szlenk 2003). Recently, however, Kraska-Szlenk (2003) has pointed out that the finer details of word stress in ...

Adrenomedullin protects rat dorsal root ganglion neurons against doxorubicin-induced toxicity by ameliorating oxidative stress

Objective(s): Despite effective anticancer effects, the use of doxorubicin (DOX) is hindered due to its cardio and neurotoxicity. The neuroprotective effect of adrenomedullin (AM) was shown in several studies. The present study aimed to evaluate the possible protective effects of AM against DOX-induced toxicity in dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) neurons. M...

On the incompatibility of faithfulness and monotone DAG faithfulness

Cheng, Greiner, Kelly, Bell and Liu [Artificial Intelligence 137 (2002) 43–90] describe an algorithm for learning Bayesian networks that—in a domain consisting of n variables—identifies the optimal solution using O(n4) calls to a mutual-information oracle. This result relies on (1) the standard assumption that the generative distribution is Markov and faithful to some directed acyclic graph (DA...
