Long-Distance Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation in Arabic: Influences of Intervening Consonant Pharyngealization and Length by Ahmed, Sarah

“…Speakers of Egyptian Arabic were recorded saying sentences containing nonsense sequences of the form /baɁabaCV:/, where C was chosen from {/t/, /tˤ/, /t:/, /tˤ:/} and V was a long vowel /i:/, /a:/ or /u:/. Analysis of the first and second formants of the recorded vowels revealed that (a) vowel-to-vowel coarticulatory effects could sometimes extend to a distance of three vowels before the context vowel; (b) the consonant-to-vowel effects associated with pharyngealization were consistently seen at similar distances, while also decreasing in magnitude at greater distances from the triggering consonant; and (c) effects related to intervening consonant length were idiosyncratic, and in particular did not lead to consistent blocking of vowel-to-vowel effects. …”

Spatial variability of summer hydrography in the central Arabian Gulf by Ali Elobaid, Elnaiem

“…The observed pH is within the normal ranges, indicating that seawater acidification may not be a threat. The highest DO (6.13–8.37 mg/l) was observed in a layer of 24-36 m water depth in the deeper regions of the central transect.…”

Simulation and experimental study of underwater dissimilar friction-stir welding between aluminium and steel by Eyvazian, Arameh

“…Theeffects of processing parameters on the formation of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) atthe Al/St interface, microstructural characteristics, and mechanical property of dissimilarweldments were studied and addressed. By decreasing tool rotational speed (w), increas-ing traverse velocity (v), and employing cooling medium, peak temperature continuouslyreduced (down to ?…”

Structural performance and moment redistribution of basalt FRC continuous beams reinforced with basalt FRP bars by Abushanab, Abdelrahman

“…This study investigated the structural performance and moment redistribution of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) continuous beams reinforced with basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRP) bars. A total of 10 reinforced concrete (RC) continuous beams over two equal spans of 1800 mm were tested under five-point loading until failure. …”

Intercalation of ionic liquids into bentonite: Swelling and rheological behaviors by Nasser, M. S.

“…The basal d-spacing of the ILs intercalated bentonite in comparison with dried bentonite powder as detected by XRD results showed that the cations of the three ILs are successfully intercalated into the interlayer of the bentonite platelets by a cation exchange mechanism and the swelling is likely influenced by the cation size, type and concentration of the ILs. …”

Impacts of CO2-induced seawater acidification on coastal Mediterranean bivalves and interactions with other climatic stressors by Range, P.

“…Clearance rates of juvenile mussels were significantly reduced by acidification in Italy, but not in Portugal. Both locations showed a consistent trend for increased ammonia excretion with decreasing pH, suggesting increased protein catabolism. …”
