Four phoneme-detection studies tested the conclusion from recent research that spoken-language processing is inhibited by violation of obligatory assimilation processes in the listeners' native language. In Experiment 1, native listeners of German detected a target fricative in monosyllabic Dutch nonwords, half of which violated progressive German fricative place assimilation. In contrast to th...

We consider linear time-invariant networks with unknown interaction topology where only a subset of the nodes, termed manifest, can be directly controlled and observed. The remaining nodes are termed latent and their number is also unknown. Our goal is to identify the transfer function of the manifest subnetwork and determine whether interactions between manifest nodes are direct or mediated by...

Gradient English coronal place assimilation has been shown to produce both progressive and regressive context effects in spoken language perception. In two experiments, the current work examines the timecourse of these effects using the visual world paradigm. In Experiment 1 listeners showed earlier looks to pictures of an object with a noncoronal-initial name (e.g. boat) when it was preceded b...

Purpose This study aims to analyse whether investment in green and sustainable stocks provide some cushion during current precarious time. To compare the impact of COVID-19 on volatility market-capitalisation-based stocks, daily returns from Greenex, Carbonex, Large-Cap, Mid-Cap Small-Cap index have been analysed over a period six years 2015 2021. Design/methodology/approach At outset, logarith...

The Rényi entropy is a generalization of Shannon entropy to a one-parameter family of entropies. Tsallis entropy too is a generalization of Shannon entropy. The measure for Tsallis entropy is non-logarithmic. After the introduction of Shannon entropy , the conditional Shannon entropy was derived and its properties became known. Also, for Tsallis entropy, the conditional entropy was introduced a...
