Previous research on the tone system of Yucatec Maya provides contradictory accounts which this paper intends to do away with, disentangling tonal and intonational effects. The first part presents the mere realisation of lexical high and low tones, the only tonal distinction we identify for Yucatec Maya. Second, we claim that in Yucatec Maya no interaction exists between intonation and lexical ...

ions for these system behaviors; this enables us to conceal the dynamicity and scale of the ODE environment. In addition to representing abstractions for the properties of the system behaviors, roles also are responsible for actively coordinating their players to achieve coordination requirements. Roles serve as an abstraction by specifying membership criteria, i.e., a static specification of f...

Organizations are making large investments in package based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. While some organizations have achieved business improvement from their ERP systems, many still fail to realize the benefits identified at the project outset. One recommended approach to improve the likelihood of ERP system success and thereby delivery of benefits, is to avoid package customiz...

the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...

Electroweak baryogenesis could be very efficient at the end of an electroweakscale inflation. Reheating that followed inflation could create a highly nonequilibrium plasma, in which the baryon number violating transitions were rapid. In addition, the time-dependent motions of the scalar degrees of freedom could provide the requisite CP violation. If the final reheat temperature was below 100 Ge...
