This study investigates how phonology, morphology, and prosody affect phoneme identification within sentences. The influence of these factors was examined in a phoneme monitoring task with Australian-English and SecondLanguage-English Mandarin-Chinese participants monitoring for /n/ in four morphological contexts (part of a word stem, correct/altered grammatical inflection, or derivational infl...

A pseudo-line of a real plane curve C is a global real branch of C(R) that is not homologically trivial in P(R). A geometrically integral real plane curve C of degree d has at most d− 2 pseudo-lines, provided that C is not a real projective line. Let C be a real plane curve of degree d having exactly d − 2 pseudo-lines. Suppose that the genus of the normalization of C is equal to d− 2. We show ...

— A point P on a smooth hypersurface X of degree d in PN is called a star point if and only if the intersection of X with the embedded tangent space TP (X) is a cone with vertex P . This notion is a generalization of total inflection points on plane curves and Eckardt points on smooth cubic surfaces in P3. We generalize results on the configuration space of total inflection points on plane curv...

In this note we study the distribution of real inflection points among the ovals of a real non-singular hyperbolic curve of even degree. Using Hilbert’s method we show that for any integers d and r such that 4 ≤ r ≤ 2d − 2d, there is a non-singular hyperbolic curve of degree 2d in R with exactly r line segments in the boundary of its convex hull. We also give a complete classification of possib...

This paper takes a closer look at the attraction properties of T. It highlights an empirically attested distinction between rich agreement inflection, exhibited by null-subject languages, and rich tense inflection, found in Romance, but not Germanic, and argues for the syntactic relevance of this distinction. We propose a novel typology of the ways in which T's featural requirements can be sati...

Extensive Monte Carlo simulations and scaling arguments are used to study the colloidal charge reversal. The critical colloidal surface charge density sigma(c) at which the reversal first appears is found to depend strongly on the ionic size. We find that sigma(c) has an inflection point as a function of the electrolyte concentration. The width of the plateau region in the vicinity of the infle...

The generation of complex derived word forms has been an overlooked problem in NLP; we fill this gap by applying neural sequence-to-sequence models to the task. We overview the theoretical motivation for a paradigmatic treatment of derivational morphology, and introduce the task of derivational paradigm completion as a parallel to inflectional paradigm completion. State-of-the-art neural models...

In this paper, we analyze the planar cubic Alternative curve to determine the conditions for convex, loops, cusps and inflection points. Thus cubic curve is represented by linear combination of three control points and basis function that consist of two shape parameters. By using algebraic manipulation, we can determine the constraint of shape parameters and sufficient conditions are derived wh...

In biochemical networks transient dynamics plays a fundamental role, since the activation of signalling pathways is determined by thresholds encountered during the transition from an initial state (e.g. an initial concentration of a certain protein) to a steady-state. These thresholds can be defined in terms of the inflection points of the stimulus-response curves associated to the activation p...
