An important predictor of historical sound change, functional load, fails to capture insights from speech perception. Building on ideal observer models of word recognition, we devise a new definition of functional load that incorporates both a priori expectedness and perceptual information. We explore this new measure with a simple model and find that it outperforms tra-

Let $L$ be a lattice in $ZZ^n$ of dimension $m$. We prove that there exist integer constants $D$ and $M$ which are basis-independent such that the total degree of any Graver element of $L$ is not greater than $m(n-m+1)MD$. The case $M=1$ occurs precisely when $L$ is saturated, and in this case the bound is a reformulation of a well-known bound given by several authors. As a corollary, we show t...

Let $R = bigoplus_{n in mathbb{N}_{0}} R_{n}$ be a standardgraded ring, $M$ be a finitely generated graded $R$-module and $J$be a homogenous ideal of $R$. In this paper we study the gradedstructure of the $i$-th local cohomology module of $M$ defined by apair of ideals $(R_{+},J)$, i.e. $H^{i}_{R_{+},J}(M)$. Moreprecisely, we discuss finiteness property and vanishing of thegraded components $H^...

In this paper, we describe the primitive ideal space of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(mathcal G)$  associated to the ultragraph $mathcal{G}$. We investigate the structure of the closed ideals of the quotient ultragraph $  C^* $-algebra  $C^*left(mathcal G/(H,S)right)$ which contain no nonzero set projections and then we characterize all non gauge-invariant primitive ideals. Our results generalize the ...

We describe the first domain extender for ideal ciphers, i.e. we show a construction that is indifferentiable from a 2n-bit ideal cipher, given a n-bit ideal cipher. Our construction is based on a 3round Feistel, and is more efficient than first building a n-bit random oracle from a n-bit ideal cipher (as in [6]) and then a 2n-bit ideal cipher from a n-bit random oracle (as in [7], using a 6-ro...

for an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. in this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and betti numbers of the $s$-module $s/i$ where  $s=k[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $i$ is the associated ideal to ...

let $m$ be a module over a commutative ring $r$ and let $n$ be a proper submodule of $m$. the total graph of $m$ over $r$ with respect to $n$, denoted by $t(gamma_{n}(m))$, have been introduced and studied in [2]. in this paper, a generalization of the total graph $t(gamma_{n}(m))$, denoted by $t(gamma_{n,i}(m))$ is presented, where $i$ is an ideal of $r$. it is the graph with all elements of $...

 In this paper, we aresupposed to introduce the definitions of n-fold commutative, andimplicative hyper K-ideals. These definitions are thegeneralizations of the definitions of commutative, andimplicative hyper K-ideals, respectively, which have been definedin [12]. Then we obtain some related results. In particular wedetermine the relationships between n-fold implicative hyperK-ideal and n-fol...

in this paper, we introduce and study the concepts of $mathcal{i}_2$-convergence, $mathcal{i}_2^{*}$-convergence for double sequences of fuzzy real numbers, where $mathcal{i}_2$ denotes the ideal of subsets of $mathbb n times mathbb n$. also, we study some properties and relations of them.

Let (R,m) be a Noetherian local ring, M be a finitely generated R-module of dimension n and a be an ideal of R. In this paper, generalizing the main results of Dibaei and Jafari [3] and Rezaei [8], we will show that if T is a subset of AsshR M, then there exists an ideal a of R such that AttR Hna (M)=T. As an application, we give some relationships between top local cohomology modules and top f...
