Flexural safety cost of optimized reinforced concrete beamsIAEME Publication
This document discusses:
1) An analytical model to estimate the cost of optimized reinforced concrete beam designs based on structural safety and reliability. Flexural formulas are derived for five beam section types under ACI code design provisions.
2) The optimization aims to find the minimum cost beam dimensions that provide an adequate design moment strength for a given external bending moment, within constraints such as steel area limits.
3) Cost factors are developed to generalize and simplify calculations of material costs for concrete, steel, and formwork. Numerical examples illustrate the model's ability to estimate costs corresponding to different safety levels.

The document discusses Ron Mueck, an artist known for his hyper-realistic sculptures depicting the human form and human experiences like suffering and loneliness. Mueck's sculptures are often smaller or larger than real life, with each piece being a unique creation. Showing Mueck's works in galleries can be challenging due to the large size of some pieces and desire to display them individually. The text also examines the challenges of finding appropriate gallery space for Mueck's sculptures.
Tenant Representation Services (TRS) negotiated on behalf of IRESS for their office lease at 385 Bourke Street in Melbourne, Australia.

De Meo_Pellegrino_Pettorino_Vitale exapp 2013exapp2013
This study examined how foreign accent and disfluencies impact the perceived credibility of news stories. Five perception tests were conducted with over 1,275 Italian listeners assessing news stories read by native and non-native Italian speakers. The results showed that credibility was primarily impacted by comprehensibility, which was affected by disfluencies and prosodic anomalies in the speech. A non-native speaker with few disfluencies and strong language skills was rated similarly to native speakers in terms of credibility. Additionally, making a native Italian speaker disfluent also reduced their perceived credibility, supporting the idea that processing difficulty, not accent alone, impacts credibility judgments.
- The document summarizes research on the perception of social meanings from linguistic variants, such as pitch, fronting of /θ/ sounds, and sibilant sounds.
- An experiment is described that tested how variations in these features influenced perceptions of gender, sexuality, and social class of male speakers. Results showed that an upward pitch shift decreased perceptions of prestige, and fronting increased perceptions of likeability. However, these effects interacted with other factors.
- For example, sibilant sounds influenced perceptions of sexuality for heterosexual but not gay/lesbian listeners. And fronting only increased likeability when sibilance was not present, showing some linguistic features were not attended to when others signaled a social
Exapp 2013 ways of teaching casual speech_kulexapp2013
This document summarizes a study that compared the effects of two techniques for teaching casual speech patterns such as elision, assimilation, and weak forms to Polish learners of English. The study aimed to determine whether the learners could identify and produce these patterns and to compare the immediate and long-term impact of form-focused instruction (NoF) versus traditional explicit instruction. Fifty Polish undergraduate students participated in pre-tests and post-tests of perception and production. The results showed that both techniques improved the learners' ability to perceive and produce casual speech patterns over time, but that NoF instruction led to significantly greater gains, especially for weak forms.
This document summarizes two experiments on the perception of phonetic markers of Quebec French dialect by native Quebec French speakers. The first experiment found that laxing of high vowels (/i/ and /u/) and affrication of stops were the strongest markers of Quebec French origin. The second experiment found that discrimination of the tense-lax contrast was easier for /y/ than /i/ in noise, suggesting the perceptual prominence of /i/ laxing is not due to its acoustic properties, but rather sociolinguistic evaluation of variants. In conclusion, laxing of /i/ is a particularly salient marker of Quebec French dialect due to phonetic rather than low-level auditory processing.
Kendall, Fridland, & Farringon 2013: More on the production and perception of...exapp2013
This document discusses an ongoing study examining the relationship between speech production and perception of regional vowel differences in the United States. Previous research from the study found that regional vowel shifts involve differences in both production and perception, and that speakers showing more evidence of participating in vowel shifts through production also demonstrated shifted perception patterns. The current study has expanded to include more regions, vowels, and subjects. Preliminary production data suggests the West coast region shows signs of the "Elsewhere" shift while the North shows the Northern Cities shift. Production patterns in three South sites provide more data on the Southern vowel shift. The expanded study allows investigation of how robust patterns are within and across regions.
This study examined whether providing knowledge about linguistic differences between Dutch and Frisian could improve Dutch speakers' receptive skills in Frisian. 23 Dutch students participated in either an intervention teaching Frisian phonological rules or a control group. Both groups took pre- and post-tests of Frisian text and word comprehension. The intervention did not significantly improve scores over the control. However, the intervention group viewed Frisian as more beautiful after the study. The authors concluded the intervention was not effective for improving receptive multilingualism and discussed factors like language closeness and duration.
This study analyzed phoneme deletion and fusion in conversational French speech. The analysis found:
- Deletion often affected a single phoneme within a single word, frequently involving stereotyped reductions. Fusion merged several phonemes across multiple words, often in an opaque manner.
- Deletion may be related to lexical encoding of words, while fusion could be related to larger prosodic or discourse domains involving gesture undershoot and overlapping.
- Further study is needed to understand the phonetic nature of fusion and how listeners perceive fused phonemes given context. Deletion and fusion were found to be quite frequent in casual speech, with fusion affecting more phonemes and words than deletion.
The pluralization of presentational 'haber' in Dominican Spanishexapp2013
This study replicates and expands an earlier investigation on Puerto Rican Spanish (Claes, submitted). Specifically, besides investigating whether the results that were obtained in San Juan also attain in Santo Domingo, this paper explores the question which mechanism can account for the extension of pluralized haber to verb-tenses for which an entrenched instance of singular haber exists. In order to do so, drawing upon Cognitive Construction Grammar (Goldberg, 1995, 2006), I present an analysis of the pluralization of haber in Dominican Spanish (e.g. Habían fiestas ‘There were parties’) as an ongoing language change from below during which the canonical argument-structure construction ([Loc] haber [Obj]) is being replaced by an innovative schema ([Loc] haber [Subj]). Using a mixed effect multivariate analysis, in which the individual speakers and the NPs’ head nouns were included as random intercepts, I show that speakers pluralize presentational haber in about 47% of the cases and that the results for the factor groups animacy, definiteness/specificity hierarchy (Langacker, 1991), degree of entrenchment of the verb-form in PRES-1, production priming, comprehension priming, gender, social class and style support the main claim. In addition, I argue that production priming is responsible for extending the use of this variation to conceptualizations for which statistical preemption warns speakers against using the PRES-2 variant. Finally, the social factors that were tested in this study unveil that the variation expresses social class membership and, at least for younger Dominicans, gender identity.

The presentation summarizes novel results on the function of lengthenings (LE) and filled pauses (FP) in the adult-directed speech of Hungarian children (ADS), and concludes that these possible functions of LE and FP differ remarkably in ADS. In addition, the functional distribution of LE and FP seems to differ from that reported in adult speech as well.
This document discusses variation in anaphoric expressions in early and late bilingualism. It focuses on how linguistic and cognitive factors in bilingualism lead to variation, particularly at the interface between grammar and pragmatics. The author presents research showing that early bilinguals, advanced second language learners, and speakers experiencing first language attrition show more variation in structures affected by contextual conditions, like anaphora resolution, than in purely syntactic structures. Specifically, these bilingual groups overextend the use of overt subject pronouns in Italian and German where a null pronoun would be preferred. The author proposes this is due to underspecification of pragmatic feature mappings in bilingual grammars.
This document summarizes research on reduction phenomena in spoken language. It discusses how reduction is not necessarily a hindrance to communication and may even convey communicative functions. The research examines how reduction of word-final <-en> syllables in German varies depending on discourse context, with less reduction occurring in phrase-final and turn-final positions. A perception experiment found that listeners interpreted less reduced <-en> forms, as well as questions ending in a concave pitch rise, as signals that the turn was complete. The findings suggest reduction can signal discourse functions like turn-yielding rather than just saving articulatory effort.
This document discusses the rapid spread of the use of "hun" as a subject personal pronoun in Dutch, instead of the standard "zij". The author provides the following key points:
1. The use of "hun" has increased dramatically in the last two decades but remains controversial due to stigma.
2. The rise of "hun" is being driven by both internal linguistic factors like its gender-neutrality and reduced ambiguity, as well as external social factors related to certain groups of speakers.
3. Two corpus studies show that while animacy is not a strong predictor, "hun" functions to retrieve less accessible antecedents, suggesting its spread is functionally motivated by its strong
ExAPP Ernestus the production and comprehension of casual speechexapp2013
Casual speech is difficult to study experimentally because participants do not naturally produce casual speech in a laboratory setting and only expect it in certain contexts. The talk discusses several experimental paradigms that have been used or proposed to study casual speech production and comprehension, highlighting both their successes and limitations.
