This study addressed the role of talker variability in the perception of nonnative contrastive phonemes by adult second language (L2) learners who had no prior knowledge with the target language. Specifically, the study explored how training with varying talkers could affect nat…
This dissertation contributes to the literatures on climate extremes, climate change, and financial adaptation. In a developing world context, weather based index insurance is emerging as a potential financial adaptation for poor populations that have historically been excluded …
The pre-Bötzinger complex (pre-BötC) is thought to be the inspiratory kernel of the mammalian respiratory network. Multielectrode recording from the pre-BötC in an in vitro preparation of neonatal mice reveals that population burst triggered firing patterns in this network vary …
This study employed an integrated approach to investigate drivers and impacts of environmental change from the 1980s to 2012 using geospatial and statistical analyses of atmospheric, climate, land use land cover, and socio-economic data. The atmospheric and climate data were obt…
A high level of competition in the food industry, specifically in the Middle East and the UK has forced companies to improve their processes by reducing lead time, waste, and costs and increasing production efficiency. The main challenge to the achievement of the process improve…
Our aesthetic preferences are an integral part of our identity, they define us both as individuals and as members of our cultures. Yet very little is known about how they develop or persist over our lifetimes. Philosophical accounts suggest two contrasting perspectives to this q…
