Using corpora of historical texts, we track the development of these variants alongside the demise of the earlier variant –man. Th...

This paper focuses on solving a typical multi-mode resource leveling problem, in which activity duration depends on committed resources, project deadlines and other constraints. To solve this problem, we establish a multi-objective model to minimize project duration, resource requirements and resource variance. Based on the established model, a novel Elitist Vector Evaluated Particle Swarm Opti...

In older stages of Latin, many nouns exhibited paradigmatic s ∼ r alternations created by rhotacism in suffixed forms, as in (1a). In the period immediately before Classical Latin, these s ∼ r alternations were eliminated by extending the r to the nominative form. At approximately the same time, an independent change shortened long vowels before word-final sonorants, resulting in the paradigm i...

One might ask, for example, whether speech perception in a noisy background is more difficult for elderly persons because of age-related changes in cognition, central processing, memory deficit, depression, or a host of other factors known to be affected by aging. A persistent problem complicating such resea...
