Phonetic variants of Majorcan Catalan /ʒ/: A controlled study in societal language contact by Marta Ramírez, Miquel Simonet

“…While the effects of the subjects’ profile were of a very large magnitude, the effects of imitation—having heard [j] or [ʒ] as the auditory model for /ʒ/—were negligible. This suggests that, in Majorcan Catalan, individual phonological (internalized) representations of /ʒ/, and not only production habits, are modulated by the speaker’s background—some speakers have /j/ and others have /ʒ/. …”

Proportional Fair Power Allocation for Secondary Transmitters in the TV White Space by Konstantinos Koufos, Riku Jäntti

“…We show how the algorithm could be modified to reduce its computational complexity at the cost of negligible performance loss. The modified algorithm could permit a spectrum allocation database to allocate near optimal transmit power levels to tens of thousands of secondary transmitters in real time. …”

Management of the ventilation in intraoperative tracheobronchial injury with manual occlusion of the rent—An unusual case report by Sofia Jaswal, Harsimran S. Walia, Lalita G. Mitra, Sahil Mittal

“…Intermittent apnea and ventilation were conducted, and the repair of tracheal rent was conducted in the apnea period. A negligible air leak was present after the repair. Manual occlusion of the rent can help restore ventilation in an emergency situation when other options are technically difficult.…”

The Impact of Noise Models on Capacity Performance of Distribution Broadband over Power Lines Networks by Athanasios G. Lazaropoulos

“…Through the careful study of its results, it is demonstrated that during capacity computations of distribution BPL networks, the flat Additive White Gaussian Noise (FL noise model) can be comfortably assumed as an efficient noise model either in 3–30 MHz or in 3–88 MHz frequency range since its capacity differences with the other well-proven noise models are negligible.…”

Review on Resistive Termination Techniques Driven by Wireline Channel Behaviors by Changjae Moon, Minsoo Choi, Myungguk Lee, Byungsub Kim

“…Especially, we theoretically explain the relaxed impedance matching technique, which allows designers to violate impedance matching for design improvements at the cost of a negligible penalty in signal integrity. Third, we review various resistive termination techniques for RC-dominant channels and their design tradeoffs. …”

Effect of Oregano and Marjoram Essential Oils on the Physical and Antimicrobial Properties of Chitosan Based Systems by Jana Sedlaříková, Magda Doležalová, Pavlína Egner, Jana Pavlačková, Jiří Krejčí, Ondřej Rudolf, Petra Peer

“…The dissimilar effects of the two EOs were also observed by water vapour pressure (WVP) measurement; increasing the amount of oregano oil triggered a drop in the WVP of the prepared films, whereas the marjoram oil had a negligible impact in this respect. These results suggest that the structural features of active substances in the EOs play a crucial role in determining the final properties of FFS and biofilm systems.…”

CURRENT TRENDS ON MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR TEETH WHITENING by Maria Mirabela IANCU, Cristiana Ioana TATIA, Alina ROBU, Marius Lucian VASILESCU, Iulian ANTONIAC, Anca Maria FRATILA

“…Both the abrasive particles used in mechanical procedures and the oxidant agents applied in chemical bleaching are effective if they are used according to the stain aetiology, however, the risks associated with these products (e.g. potential tooth wear, sensitivity, damage of the enamel or dentin organic matrix) are not negligible. As a response to these issues, current research in the tooth whitening field is directed towards the development of safer whitening products such as dentifrices with lower abrasive index, natural bleaching agents, or laser-assisted whitening procedures that require shorter exposure time for optimal results. …”
