چکیده
General properties of the Canadian English vowel space are derived from an experimentalacoustic study of vowel production underway in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Comparing the preliminary Winnipeg results with similar data from General American English confirm previously described generalizations for Canadian English: the merger of low-back vowels, the relative retraction of /æ/ and the relative advancement of /u/ and /ʊ/. However, a similar comparison of the Winnipeg sample with comparable southern California data dispute the accuracy of the so-called Canadian Shift (Clarke et al. 1995) as features of ‘general’ Canadian and Californian English. The utility of acoustic analysis in uncovering subtle phonetic distinctions is further revealed in a discussion of Canadian Raising. The Winnipeg speakers produce a directional shift in both the nucleus and offglide of the diphthongs /aɪ, aʊ/, rather than just adjusting the height of the nucleus. This process applies to all three diphthongs (including /oɪ/).

Block of inward rectification by intracellular H+ in immature oocytes of the starfish Mediaster aequalis
Intracellular pH was recorded in immature starfish oocytes using pH-sensitive microelectrodes, and inwardly rectifying potassium currents were measured under voltage clamp. When the intracellular pH was lowered using acetate-buffered artificial sea water from the normal value of 7.09 to 5.9, inward rectification was completely blocked. The relationship between inward rectification and internal ...

متن کاملEffect of External and Internal pH Changes on K and Cl Conductances in the Muscle Fiber Membrane of a Giant Barnacle
The membrane potential and conductance of the giant muscle fiber of a barnacle (Balanus nubilus Darwin) were analyzed in relation to changes in the external (3.5-10.0) and the internal (4.7-9.6) pH, under various experimental conditions. A sharp increase in membrane conductance, associated with a large increase in conductance to Cl ions, was observed when the external pH was lowered to values b...
متن کاملMechanisms of Anion and Cation Permeations in the Resting Membrane of a Barnacle Muscle Fiber
The resting membrane of a barnacle muscle fiber is mostly permeable to cations in a solution of pH 7.7 whereas it becomes primarily permeable to anions if the pH is below 4.0. Mechanisms of ion permeation for various monovalent cations and anions were investigated at pH 7.7 and 3.9, respectively. Permeability ratios were obtained from the relationship between the membrane potential and the conc...
