This article presents data on the contextual reduction of /l/ in Spanish. Electropalatography (EPG) was used to examine realisations word-final prevocalic and preconsonantal environments order determine what extent articulatory is attributable coarticulation with following segments. Previous studies using static palatography (Josselyn 1907) describe continuous relaxation stricture associated di...

Research using electropalatography (EPG) has shown that a distinctive articulatory characteristic of lingual consonants in the speech of school age children with articulation/phonological disorders (APD) is a high amount of tongue-palate contact. Consonants produced in this way have been referred to as involving undifferentiated lingual gestures (UGs). UGs are characterised by contact that lack...

We consider Nonlinear Equilibrium (NE) for optimal allocation of limited resources. The NE is a generalization of the Walras-Wald equilibrium, which is equivalent to J. Nash equilibrium in an n-person concave game. Finding NE is equivalent to solving a variational inequality (VI) with a monotone and smooth operator on Ω = R+ ⊗ R+ . The projection on Ω is a very simple procedure, therefore our m...

For a model of speech production to be comprehensive it must be able to account for both disordered and normal speech. The study of disordered speech often relies on perceptual judgements which are not always accurate enough representations of the speech process for such models. Perceptual judgements often encourage categorical decisions such as alveolar versus velar plosive which may not refle...

A study was conducted in the northeastern areas of Punjab province (Pakistan) to analyse the monthly and seasonal pattern of fasciolosis in buffaloes and its relation to some climatic factors (temperature, humidity, rainfall and pan-evaporation) was also worked out. The faecal samples of buffaloes were collected from April 2003 to March 2005 on a monthly basis from randomly selected areas and a...

A group of 52 villagers was followed-up for three years regarding Schistosoma mansoni infection. All villagers were periodically surveyed by the Kato-Katz method. In March 1997 and March 1998 the positives were treated with oxamniquine (15-20 mg/kg), and in March 1999, with praziquantel (60 mg/kg). All infection indices decreased substantially between March 1999 and March 2000: prevalence of in...

The voltammetric performance of edge-plane pyrolytic graphite (EPG) electrode via adsorptive stripping voltammetry was investigated for study of the electrochemical behavior of omeprazole (OMZ) in aqueous solution. The results revealed that the oxidation of OMZ is an irreversible pH-dependent process that proceeds with the transfer of one electron and one proton in an adsorption-controlled mech...

The objective of the study was to determine parasitological and immune response in horses naturally re-infected with gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) after an- thelmintic treatment humid tropic Mexico. conducted Tenosique, Tabasco, A total 30 were sampled monthly for nine months. Fecal samples obtained number nematode eggs per gram (EPG) feces. Stool cultures performed obtain identify infective...
