Consonant mutation is a feature in languages when the sound of a consonant changes depending on morphology and syntax.

English 
In English, the plural morpheme -(e)s and the singular third-person present tense morpheme -(e)s all have different pronunciations depending on which depending on which type of phoneme, or unique sound, comes before it. These variations of the plural morpheme are called allomorphs.

 If the base word ends with a voiceless stop like /p/, /t/, or /k/, then -(e)s will be pronounced /s/, like in lips, cats, and socks.
 If the base word ends with a sonorant, like /b/, /d/, /g/, /n/, /m/, /ŋ/, /l/, /ɹ/, or any vowel sound, then -(e)s will be pronounced /z/, like in cabs, lids, dogs, cans, rims, wings, bowls, cars, bows, toys, laws, and trees.
 If the based word ends with a sibilant or an affricate, like /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /t͡ʃ/, and /d͡ʒ/, then -(e)s will be pronounced /ız/, like in cases, mazes, washes, mirages, patches, and wages.

In English, the past tense morpheme -(e)d also has different pronunciations depending on which depending on which type of phoneme comes before it.

 If the base word ends with a voiceless consonant like /p/, /k/, /f/, /s/, /t͡ʃ/, then -(e)d will be pronounced /t/, like in licked, packed, laughed, passed, and pitched.
 If the base word ends with a voiced sound, like /b/, /g/, /n/, /m/, /ŋ/, /l/,  /ɹ/, or any vowel sound, then -(e)d will be pronounced /d/, like in stabbed, lagged, sinned, hummed, hanged, bowled, scored, played, bowed, skied, and mowed.

The Broadly Applicable Tracking System, also called BATS, is a very small, lightweight tool shaped like a backpack.  Scientists glue the BATS onto the back of a bat or other small animal and then use GPS and wireless internet to see where the animal goes.

The scientists who invented BATS say it is different from other systems because it is lighter, uses less power and can track animals even inside caves or hollow trees.

BATS can be made with a 3D printer, and it is so light that it does not slow down small bats when they fly.  It also falls off after about fourteen days.  Scientists can collect fallen BATS to reuse the parts.

Scientists used BATS to show that vampire bats can make social bonds when being kept by humans that they remember after being released.

Name

Scientists named the tool "broadly applicable tracking system" because they believe it can be used in a broad range of animals: bats, rodents, amphibians and reptiles. "Broadly applicable" means "can be used in many ways." As of April 2020, BATS has only been used on bats.

Invention

The team that invented BATS includes scientists from the Museum of Natural History in Berlin and universities in Germany and Ohio State University.

In the field of numerical analysis, numerical linear algebra is an area to study methods to solve problems in linear algebra by numerical computation. The following problems will be considered in this area:
 Numerically solving a system of linear equations.
 Numerically solving an eigenvalue problem for a given matrix.
 Computing approximate values of a matrix-valued function.

Numerical errors can occur in any kind of numerical computation including the area of numerical linear algebra. Errors in numerical linear algebra are considered in another area called "validated numerics".

Latest Studies

Methods for numerical linear algebra has been created by numerical analysts from many generations. But today, some of them have been rejected due to their computation speed or accuracy. Currently, the following methods are widely investigated:

Krylov Subspace Methods
In the field of numerical linear algebra, numerical methods based on the theory of Krylov subspaces are known as Krylov subspaces methods. They are considered to be one of the most successful studies in numerical linear algebra. The next list is the examples of them:

Conjugate Gradient Methods
The conjugate gradient (CG) method is one of the best linear equation solving method. It was originally limited to specific linear systems. In order to overcome this difficulty, many kinds of CG variants have benn created:

Validated Numerics for Numerical Linear Algebra
While high accuracy and high speed methods in above have been cretaed, some experts have studied how to evaluate numerical errors in numerical linear algebra. The following are their results:

Software
Today, there are many tools for numerical linear algebra. One of the most famous one is MATLAB (matrix laboratory). This was made by MathWorks.

Henry Franklin Graff (August 11, 1921 – April 7, 2020) was an American historian. He was on the faculty of Columbia University from 1946 to 1991. He was Chairman of the History Department there.

Graff's works focused in the history of the Presidency of the United States and of American foreign relations. He was known for his "Seminar on the Presidency", which was one of Columbia’s most popular courses. It was attended by President Harry Truman in 1959 and President Gerald Ford in 1989.  Graff was Chairman of the Pulitzer Prize jury in American history.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson made Graff in charge of the National Historical Publications Commission and in 1993 President Bill Clinton hired Graff to lead the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board.

Graff died on April 7, 2020 in Greenwich, Connecticut at the age of 98. The cause of death was COVID-19.

The Experts is a 1989 American Cold War comedy movie starring John Travolta, Arye Gross and Kelly Preston. It was written by Steven Greene, Eric Alter, and Nick Thiel and directed by Dave Thomas. The movie was distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Plot
Two American nightclub owners from New York City, Travis (John Travolta) and Wendell (Arye Gross) are drugged and kidnapped while on their way to opening a nightclub in rural Nebraska. The KGB spy Cameron Smith (Charles Martin Smith) takes them to the Soviet Union, as "experts" on the "American lifestyle" with the intention of teaching KGB spies to be like Americans. And under the influence of drugs they think they have arrived in "Nebraska" to open the nightclub. Travis and Wendell are brought to the phony town of "Indian Springs", which is populated by Russians who speak perfect American English and act like Americans. KGB spies go there to study "American people" and "American culture", but is stuck in the 1950s. The KGB spy Smith is in charge of the "typical American town" built for espionage-training purposes and hopes that his fellow spies will learn real American culture. But things get out of control when Travis and Wendell introduce their fellow "American" neighbors current pop culture, turn a bar into a rock music club and teach the townsfolk to dance. Both also flirt with local women. 
Travis and Wendell increasingly become suspicious, but when they get lost in a forest and stumble upon a military base where everyone is speaking Russian, they realize that they are actually in the Soviet Union. Things also get dangerous when the townsfolk taste freedom, and the KGB decides to stop the experiment and kill the American "guests", who have to find ways to flee the country.
