Background: If all available acoustic phonetic information of words is used during lexical access and consequently stored in the mental lexicon, then all pseudowords that deviate in a single acoustic feature from a word should hamper word recognition. By contrast, models assuming underspecification of redundant phonological information in the mental lexicon predict a differential disruption of ...

Title of dissertation: Measurements of Coronal Rotation and Small Coronal Ejections Using the STEREO COR1 Coronagraphs Shaela I. Jones, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Joseph M. Davila Professor Douglas C. Hamilton Department of Physics I present results of two studies conducted using the STEREO COR1 coronagraph: singleand dual-spacecraft measurements of white-light cor...

PURPOSE: While modern research on coronal craniosynostosis has vastly widened our breadth of knowledge regarding treatment of the condition, the mechanism underlying the development of the deformity remains uncovered and largely uninvestigated. This study evaluates midface and skull base development in nonsyndromic unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS), focusing on zygomatic and cranial base anat...

Derek Duggan In vivo microleakage evaluation of two root-filling materials in teeth without a coronal seal (Under the direction of Dr. Martin Trope) Two carrier-based materials were compared to assess their resistance to coronal microleakage in a dog model when no coronal seal was present. Histologic evidence of inflammation and infection were the outcome parameters used. Experimental teeth wer...

Abstract In this paper, we design an effective and robust model to solve the 3D single-fluid solar wind plasma magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) problem of low β . This MHD is formulated on a six-component composite grid system free polar singularities. The computational domain ranges from surface super-Alfvénic region. As common all codes, code must handle physical positivity-preserving property, tim...

We quantify the scaling of magnetic energy density in the inertial range of solar-wind turbulence seen in situ at 1 AU with respect to solar activity. At solar maximum, when the coronal magnetic field is dynamic and topologically complex, we find self-similar scaling in the solar wind, whereas at solar minimum, when the coronal fields are more ordered, we find multifractality. This quantifies t...

Context. We present a self-consistent model of solar coronal heating in which we include the dynamical effect of the background magnetic field along a coronal structure by using exact results from wave MHD turbulence. Aims. We evaluate the heating rate and the microturbulent velocity for comparison with observations in the quiet corona, active regions and also coronal holes. Methods. The corona...

Although toddlers in their 2nd year of life generally have phonologically detailed representations of words, a consistent lack of sensitivity to certain kinds of phonological changes has been reported. The origin of these insensitivities is poorly understood, and uncovering their cause is crucial for obtaining a complete picture of early phonological development. The present study explored the ...
