Searching for meaning in the library of Babel: field semantics and problems of digital archiving

Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: DalabonThis paper ... is about why the optimism about ever more accurate ‘capturing’ of speech events that flows from recent technological advances in sound recording cannot be transferred to the realm of meaning, and why the search for meaning in any language is best seen as a never-ending stringing together of hypertextual commentary, which gradually leads to a better understanding of the utterances under study. The asymmetry of sound and meaning in the documentation process is an obvious point and in no way original, but recognizing it clearly has important consequences for how the process of linguistic archiving is organised, so as to set in train the complex and slowly unfolding process by which linguists, and others concerned with documenting little-studied and fragile languages, gradually become able to give meaning to the speech sounds we record. Our paper is organised as follows. Firstly, in §2, we elaborate on the asymmetry of the linguistic sign, and survey the growing range of techniques that helps us bring meaning directly into what we document. In §3 we illustrate the difficulties involved by examining part of the process of recording, analysing and translating a traditional story in Dalabon, an indigenous and little-documented language of...

The ecology of documentary and descriptive linguistics
Creators: name: Good, Jeff
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This paper will propose a model of the ‘ecology’ of documentary and descriptive linguistic research. I use the term ecology, here, as a designation for the set of individuals, resources, tools, and actions that are involved in creating, archiving, and using documentary and descriptive resources. The primary goal of developing this model will be to facilitate the characterization of tools and standards for digital linguistic resources with respect to the entire documentary and descriptive process in order to (i) help researchers avoid duplicating the work of others unnecessarily and (ii) ensure that linguistics, as a discipline, does not accidentally focus on particularly salient domains (e.g. interlinear glossed text curation) at the expense of others (e.g. transmission of resources to an archive) which are equally important to the overall health of the ecology. A secondary goal of developing this model will be to lay out in one place a number of the concepts that are crucial to understanding the state-of-the-art in digital linguistic resources and tools but which are sometimes difficult to obtain detailed information on.

Documentary linguistics and ethical issues
Creators: name: Thieberger, Nick
name: Musgrave, Simon
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: In this paper, we suggest that changes in the field of linguistics over the last twenty years have raised new ethical challenges in our professional practice. We discuss three specific areas in which there has been change: the rise of documentary linguistics, technological developments, and the new importance of archiving data. We suggest that these changes taken together represent a paradigm change in linguistics. Within this new paradigm, we identify some of the new ethical problems which arise, and the new complications which have been added to previously identified ethical issues. Our discussion focuses on the problem of obtaining informed consent to the collection of language data, especially the extent to which archiving of data is legitimated by existing consent agreements; on the complex problems of ownership and rights over language data and the various knowledge products derived from it; and the problems associated with a commitment to making data available to speaker communities and their descendants. Our aim is not to provide answers to these problems, but rather to contribute to the discipline’s ongoing engagement with ethical issues.

Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: The past ten years has seen the emergence of a new field of linguistic research with the development of documentary linguistics and language documentation. For many researchers and communities, especially those speaking endangered languages, the focus of language work has shifted to a new attention to recording and analyzing language in use in ways that serves a wide range of constituencies, not least the speaker communities themselves. A number of influences have lead to the development of this new field, and it has benefited from developments in technology, a change in relations between researchers and those whose languages they study, and a change in the vision of what the goals and uses of linguistic research can be. A number of outstanding issues remain, and we can be sure that further challenges will appear, and be addressed as documentary linguistics as a field matures in coming years.

description: Is there an absolute cosmic electric potential?. The recent discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe could be indicating that this is certainly the case. In this essay we show that the consistency of the covariant and gauge invariant theory of electromagnetism is truly questionable when considered on cosmological scales. Out of the four components of the electromagnetic field, Maxwell's theory only contains two physical degrees of freedom. However, in the presence of gravity, one of the "unphysical" states cannot be consistently eliminated, thus becoming real. This third polarization state is completely decoupled from charged matter, but can be excited gravitationally thus breaking gauge invariance. On large scales the new state can be seen as a homogeneous cosmic electric potential, whose energy density behaves as a cosmological constant.

description: In this article, we derive the stochastic master equations corresponding to the statistical model of a heat bath. These stochastic differential equations are obtained as continuous time limits of discrete models of quantum repeated measurements. Physically, they describe the evolution of a small system in contact with a heat bath undergoing continuous measurement. The equations obtained in the present work are qualitatively different from the ones derived in \cite{A1P1}, where the Gibbs model of heat bath has been studied. It is shown that the statistical model of a heat bath provides clear physical interpretation in terms of emissions and absorptions of photons. Our approach yields models of random environment and unravelings of stochastic master equations. The equations are rigorously obtained as solutions of martingale problems using the convergence of Markov generators.

description: We investigated experimentally the transport properties of a superconducting cross-shaped aluminium microbridge fabricated on top of ferromagnetic BaFe12O19 single crystal. It was demonstrated that a one-dimensional domain structure in the ferromagnetic substrate can induce the formation of superconducting channels above magnetic domains. This leads to a giant anisotropy of resistivity of the superconducting bridge, caused by the appearance of continuous paths of supercurrents flowing along domain walls.

Language activism and the ‘new linguistics’: expanding opportunities for documenting endangered languages in Indonesia
Creators: name: Florey, Margaret
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This paper discusses the role that language activism can play in raising the level of language documentation and support for revitalisation activities in linguistically diverse and resource poor countries such as Indonesia. Section 2 discusses the rise of language activism within the dual contexts of the extinction crisis facing linguistic, cultural and biological diversity, and the development of international policies addressing indigenous rights. In Section 3, I argue that these contexts are framing what is conceptualized here as a ‘new linguistics’, and that capacity building and mentoring are core activities through which external language activists can support internal language activists. A small-scale training programme which was developed and piloted in Indonesia in 2006-2007 is described in Section 4. Section 5 then examines the impact of training on language activism, which is evidenced first through the range of language documentation projects which the Indonesian workshop participants are beginning to undertake across the country, and second, through the ways in which the participants are beginning to transfer their language documentation and maintenance skills to their colleagues, students, and community members.

description: Modelling the hydrology of the Greenland ice sheet, including the filling and drainage of supraglacial lakes, requires melt inputs generated at high spatial and temporal resolution. Here we apply a high spatial (100 m) and temporal (1 hour) mass-balance model to a 450 km2 subset of the Paakitsoq region, West Greenland. The model is calibrated by adjusting the values for parameters of fresh snow density, threshold temperature for solid/liquid precipitation and elevation-dependent precipitation gradient to minimize the error between modelled output and surface height and albedo measurements from three Greenland Climate Network stations for the mass-balance years 2000/01 and 2004/05. Bestfit parameter values are consistent between the two years at 400 kg m–3, 2° C and +14% (100 m)–1, respectively. Model performance is evaluated, first, by comparing modelled snow and ice distribution with that derived from Landsat-7 ETM+ satellite imagery using normalized-difference snow index classification and supervised image thresholding; and second, by comparing modelled albedo with that retrieved from the MODIS sensor MOD10A1 product. Calculation of mass-balance components indicates that 6% of surface meltwater and rainwater refreezes in the snowpack and does not become runoff, such that refreezing accounts for 31% of the net accumulation.

description: We complete the investigation of N=(2,2) supersymmetric nonlinear sigma-models in the presence of a boundary. We study the full bihermitian geometry parameterized by chiral, twisted chiral and semi-chiral superfields and identify the D-brane configurations preserving an N=2 worldsheet supersymmetry. Combining twisted with semi-chiral superfields leads to a clearly defined notion of lagrangian and coisotropic branes generalizing lagrangian and coisotropic A-branes on Kahler manifolds to manifolds which are not necessarily Kahler (but still bihermitian). Adding chiral fields complicates the picture and results in hybrid configurations interpolating between lagrangian/coisotropic branes and branes wrapping around a holomorphic cycle. Even here the branes can be viewed as coisotropic submanifolds albeit in a generalized sense. All supersymmetric D-brane configurations are characterized in the context of generalized complex geometry. Duality transformations interchanging the various types of superfields while preserving all supersymmetries are explicitly constructed and provide for a powerful technique to construct various highly non-trivial D-brane configurations. Several explicit examples are given.

Digital archives: essential elements in the workflow for endangered languages documentation and revitalisation
Creators: name: Nathan, David
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: One of the developments associated with the increased attention to language documentation is the establishment of specialised digital archives that provide key contributions to endangered languages documentation and revitalisation. This paper reflects the perspective and initial experience of the Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR) at SOAS, outlining interactions between linguists and modern digital archives in order to show that archives are now essential participants in the workflow of documentation, and to ask whether the degree of overlap between documentation and archiving is sustainable. This paper has discussed the varied interactions between language documenters and a digital archive, or, more specifically, between language documenters and a range of issues associated with archives. It has identified a central issue for those working with the diverse range of linguists and others who are documenting endangered languages: how to maximise the amount and quality of documentation while taking into account real-world issues of skills, division of labour, and resource allocation. This inevitably leads to the questions of where lie the essential concerns, and boundaries, of both archiving and language documentation?

description: This article reports on studies aimed to characterise the properties of plastic scintillating fibres to be used in head-on, 1:1 Pb-SCIFI calorimetric modules. The effect of glue on the attenuation of the light transported by cladding close to the photomultiplier tube is studied and found to effectively decrease the contribution of cladding light. Pb-SCIFI modules have been assembled and tested on a 20-80 MeV tagged photon beam. Good linearity and energy resolution better than 6%/ \\sqrt{E[GeV]} were achieved, therefore showing that this technique is suitable for experimentation at \ϕ-factories.

description: The paper investigates the linkages between the characteristics of technologies and the structure of a firms' knowledge base. Nanotechnologies have been defined as converging technologies that operate at the nanoscale, and which require integration to fulfill their economic promises. Based on a worldwide database of nanofirms, the paper analyses the degree of convergence and the convergence mechanisms within firms. It argues that the degree of convergence in a firm's nano-knowledge base is relatively independent from the size of the firm's nano-knowledge base. However, while firms with small nano-knowledge bases tend to exploit convergence in each of their patents/publications, firms with large nano-knowledge bases tend to separate their nano-R&D activities in the different established fields and achieve diversity through the juxtaposition of the output of these independent activities
The Myth of Community Differences as the Cause of Variations Among IRBs

description: Background: Although variations among institutional review boards (IRBs) have been documented for 30 years, they continue, raising crucial questions as to why they persist as well as how IRBs view and respond to these variations. Methods: In-depth, 2-hour interviews were conducted with 46 IRB chairs, administrators, and members. The leadership of 60 U.S. IRBs were contacted (every fourth one in the list of the top 240 institutions by NIH funding). IRB leaders from 34 of these institutions were interviewed (response rate = 55%). Results: The interviewees suggest that differences often persist because IRBs think these are legitimate, and regulations permit variations due to differing “community values.” Yet, these variations frequently appear to stem more from differences in institutional and subjective personality factors, and from “more eyes” examining protocols, trying to foresee all potential future logistical problems, than from the values of the communities from which research participants are drawn. However, IRBs generally appear to defend these variations as reflecting underlying differences in community norms. Conclusions: These data pose critical questions for policy and practice. Attitudinal changes and education among IRBs, principal investigators (PIs), policymakers, and others and research concerning these issues are needed.
Estimating the Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance contribution to future sea level rise using the regional atmospheric climate model MAR

description: To estimate the sea level rise (SLR) originating from changes in surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), we present 21st century climate projections obtained with the regional climate model MAR (Modèle Atmosphérique Régional), forced by output of three CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) general circulation models (GCMs). Our results indicate that in a warmer climate, mass gain from increased winter snowfall over the GrIS does not compensate mass loss through increased meltwater run-off in summer. Despite the large spread in the projected near-surface warming, all the MAR projections show similar non-linear increase of GrIS surface melt volume because no change is projected in the general atmospheric circulation over Greenland. By coarsely estimating the GrIS SMB changes from GCM output, we show that the uncertainty from the GCM-based forcing represents about half of the projected SMB changes. In 2100, the CMIP5 ensemble mean projects a GrIS SMB decrease equivalent to a mean SLR of +4 ± 2 cm and +9 ± 4 cm for the RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios respectively. These estimates do not consider the positive melt–elevation feedback, although sensitivity experiments using perturbed ice sheet topographies consistent with the projected SMB changes demonstrate that this is a significant feedback, and highlight the importance of coupling regional climate models to an ice sheet model. Such a coupling will allow the assessment of future response of both surface processes and ice-dynamic changes to rising temperatures, as well as their mutual feedbacks.
title: Shared-energy prediction model for ship-ice interactions
Creators: name: Price, Amy
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: To model the structural response of low- and non-ice-class ships requires both the ice and structural responses to be accounted for. A weakly coupled shared-energy algorithm is presented to model a ship-ice interaction for low- and non-ice-class ships. The algorithm is created to model the ship response within the operational design limits of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) Polar class rules [1], and therefore, employs many similar assumptions and methods as the IACS Polar rules. First, the Popov collision model [2] is implemented to determine the initial kinetic energy of the system. Daley’s energy based ice collision force models [3] are adopted, assuming a pressure-area relationship, to determine the ice-crushing energy. The structural deformation energy is determined by superimposing the frame and plate response. The flexural strain energy of the beam is derived from classical beam theory. The plate deflection energy is modelled with a meta-model created through experiments conducted with finite element analyses and the design of experiments methodology. The algorithm determines the energy distribution through a system of equations that iterates the shared contact force until the internal energy of the system (the ice and structural response) equals the initial kinetic energy of the interaction. Various finite element benchmarking analyses are conducted to assess the prediction capabilities of the individual structural models, the combined structural response, and the algorithm as a whole.
The role of digital video in language documentation
Creators: name: Ashmore, Louise
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This paper discusses the role of video in language documentation. As more linguists take up video for language documentation work, recommendations have been made for researchers working in situations where languages are endangered to ‘make as many video recordings as possible to document as much as we can before it is too late’ (Wittenburg 2007:5). Drawing on recent discussion about the use of video from publications (Nathan 2007; McConvell 2007; Wittenburg 2007), in training courses and in the informal domain of linguists’ forums and blogs this paper focuses on the methodological implications of using video for language documentation rather than specific equipment and tools. In order to develop methodologies, training and priorities for video use that are ‘responsive’ to individual language situations while also planning for future archive deposits, it becomes important to consider why and how video is currently being used for language documentation, what types of video records are being produced and how the resulting records may be evaluated.

description: The contribution of intermediate vector mesons to the decays V^0-> P^0P^0γ is calculated and compared with previous estimates and approximate evaluations. For some decays, like ∅ ̅ or ω->π^0π^0γ our results update the existing numbers. For the decays ϕ-> K^0(K^0 ) ̅ γ and ϕ,ω->ϕ^0ηγ, we find values different from the ones in the literature and discuss the origin of the discrepancy. Discrepancies with approximate evaluations from product of branching ratios of vector meson decay chains are also discussed in detail. In an attempt to extend Chiral Perturbation Theory to this radiative decays the contributions of (chiral) loops are calculated and found to be important. Relation to be VMD contributions and global results are presented.

description: Recently, the Thermal Wave Model (TWM) has been proposed for describing the coherent instabilities in particle accelerators. It has been shown that the coasting beam stability criterion can be obtained as 'modulational stability' occurring in the propagation of an electromagnetic pulse in a nonlinear medium. Moreover, the TWM indicates the possible existence of soliton-like solutions. In this paper a review of the classical and TWM approaches is presented.
Why holes are not like electrons. IV. Hole undressing and spin current in the superconducting state

description: In paper III of this series (arXiv:0901.3612) we proposed a scenario of superconductivity driven by hole "undressing" that involved a complete redistribution of the occupation of single particle energy levels: the holes near the top of the band were proposed to all condense to the bottom of the band. Here we consider a less drastic redistribution involving electrons with a definite spin chirality and show that it is in fact energetically favored by the Coulomb exchange matrix element $J$ over the scenario proposed earlier. It is shown that spin splitting with chiral states reduces the Coulomb repulsion and hence that the Coulomb repulsion promotes spin splitting. Superconductors are proposed to possess a spin-split hole `core' at the bottom of the electronic conduction band in addition to a spin-split Fermi surface. The new scenario leads naturally to the existence of a spin current in the superconducting state and is consistent with the Spin Meissner effect and negative charge expulsion discussed earlier within the theory of hole superconductivity.

description: We present a detailed study, done in the framework of the INFN 2006 Roadmap, of the prospects for e^+e^- physics at the Frascati National Laboratories. The physics case for an e^+e^- collider running at high luminosity at the ϕ resonance energy and also reaching a maximum center of mass energy of 2.5 GeV is discussed, together with the specific aspects of a very high luminosity τ-charm factory. Subjects connected to Kaon decay physics are not discussed here, being part of another INFN Roadmap working group. The significance of the project and the impact on INFN are also discussed.
On the representativeness of language documentations

description: A very real, practical problem for someone wanting to document languages (in the sense of Himmelmann 1998, 2006) is ... where to point the camera and microphone and when. The cumulative result of these individual documentary recordings will be a corpus of primary data, the centre piece of a language documentation. It is desirable for this corpus to be representative of the language, the more so if it is endangered and most likely soon not be spoken anymore. The importance of representativeness is maybe most apparent when considering the opposite case: a misrepresentation of a language (and thus the speech community) by a heavily biased corpus. This paper approaches the problem of representativeness of a language documentation by first discussing various criteria that may be used to select the events that are recorded and included in the documentation (section 3). Central to this problem are the possibilities and limitations of applying criteria that are based on a systematic classification of communicative event types and may therefore help to ensure the representativeness of a documentation in a theoretically grounded way (section 4). We then discuss the application of such criteria in a documentation project in the North West Amazon (section 5)...

description: We present a novel system for the simulation of quantum phase transitions of collective internal qubit and phononic states with a linear crystal of trapped ions. The laser-ion interaction creates an energy gap in the excitation spectrum, which induces an effective phonon-phonon repulsion and a Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard interaction. This system shows features equivalent to phase transitions of polaritons in coupled cavity arrays. Trapped ions allow for easy tunabilty of the hopping frequency by adjusting the axial trapping frequency, and the phonon-phonon repulsion via the laser detuning and intensity. We propose an experimental protocol to access all observables of the system, which allows one to obtain signatures of the quantum phase transitions even with a small number of ions.

UV finiteness of Pohlmeyer-reduced form of the AdS_5xS^5 superstring theory

description: We consider the Pohlmeyer-type reduced theory found by explicitly solving the Virasoro constraints in the formulation of AdS_5xS^5 superstring in terms of supercoset currents. The resulting set of classically equivalent, integrable Lagrangian equations of motion has the advantage of involving only a physical number of degrees of freedom and yet being 2d Lorentz invariant. The corresponding reduced theory action may be written as a gauged WZW model coupled to fermions with further bosonic and fermionic potential terms. Since the AdS_5xS^5 superstring sigma model is conformally invariant, its classical relation to the reduced theory may extend to the quantum level only if the latter is, in fact, UV finite. This theory is power counting renormalizable with the only possible divergences being of potential type. We explicitly verify its 1-loop finiteness and show that the 2-loop divergences are, in general, scheme dependent and vanish in dimensional reduction scheme. We expect that the reduced theory is finite to all orders in the loop expansion.

Linguist’s multi-layered data and the linguistic community’s polyphony

Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: Conditions under which linguistic fieldwork is undertaken and conducted vary very much on a large set of parameters. Each linguist who has done field research perceives the relevance of all these ‘non-linguistic’ dimensions for the quality of the ‘linguistic’ data collected. Beyond the relations established with local people, any possible research track is built, at least in part, on several factors, including the presence or absence of other people (either government agents, missionaries, or researchers, say, linguists, anthropologists, or biologists), or the existence, quantity and quality of texts written in, or on, the language being studied, and several others. All these factors represent, for the fieldwork and data collection, an interwoven set of imponderabilia, a term used by Malinowski to refer to some dimensions of culture. In the remaining part of this paper I will outline, even if in a cursory way, the ‘secret history’ of two articles of mine, quite different one from the other, putting them under scrutiny. Each one reflects a specific history of imponderabilia and data ‘given’, ‘taken’, and re-interpreted.

Starting Generators for ABS Intensity Calculations and Magnet System Design
Creators: name: Stancari, Michelle
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository

description: In his recent thesis, Alexander Nass[1] used the direct simulation monte carlo (DSMC) method to simulate the supersonic expansion of the hydrogen beam of an atomic beam source (ABS), finding good agreement with measured data for both atomic and molecular beams. Because the properties of such expansion cannot be calculated analytically, the potential applications of such simulations are numerous. In particular, when designing the sextupole magnets that both polarize and focus the ABS beam, one needs to know how the speed, direction, and position of the beams' atoms are distributed While the original simulations of Nass provided only the average value of these distributions, a recent extension of the simulation provides the speed, position and direction of every atom simulated. This additional information can be used to test the crude models of the beam previously employed to calculate magnet transmissions. In addition, it is  demonstrated that  the speed distribution of the atoms predicted by DSMC is very sensitive to the numerical value for the cross section used to simulate collisions.
Data - but data from what?

description: I was once confident of what ‘language’ was, where its boundaries lay, and hence what might count as data for documenting it. But I am no longer at all sure. Nor am I clear where information about a given language should best be found, or how and by whom a language should be documented. My uncertainties are founded in my own puzzles over the many years that I’ve worked, mainly as an anthropologist, on aspects of unwritten literature, performance and communication, based both in comparative reading and fieldwork in Africa and Britain. The documentation of endangered languages remains an important and inspiring endeavour. But it is clearly neither a simple nor a neutral process. Like others no doubt I continue to puzzle over what can be delimited as ‘language’, and hence, inevitably, over what can count as ‘data’ and what would be needed to document a language. Whatever ‘language’ is or is not taken to be – written text, performance, abstract system, meaning, action, people deploying resources from across the interpenetrating modes of human communication, or even, by now, an outdated term - there is clearly no single ‘right’ or (perhaps) cross-culturally neutral or a-political view of it.

Idiotie, débilité, imbécilité et arriération à Saint-Michel-Archange : expérience de la déficience intellectuelle à l’hôpital psychiatrique de Québec, 1951 à 2005

description: Cette étude porte sur le vécu d’individus ayant reçu un diagnostic de déficience intellectuelle et institutionnalisés à l’hôpital psychiatrique Saint-Michel-Archange situé dans la région de Québec à partir de 1951. Adoptant une perspective from below, elle explore le parcours de quatorze patients à partir de leur dossier médical afin de comprendre la sortie tardive de l’institution de plusieurs d’entre eux en pleine période de désinstitutionnalisation. Cette recherche rend compte de vécus complexes, nuancés et multiples à l’extérieur et à l’intérieur des murs de Saint-Michel-Archange. Y sont documentés les aspects plus pénibles de la vie à l’institution et la résistance qu’y opposent nombre de patients, mais aussi l’appréciation qu’expriment plusieurs des soins, loisirs, occupations et relations auxquels ils y avaient accès. C’est en effet avec réticence que certains quittent Saint-Michel-Archange après y avoir vécu pendant plusieurs décennies. Nos sources révèlent par ailleurs différentes lacunes du mouvement de désinstitutionnalisation québécois. Non des moindres sont celles concernant les ressources résidentielles se développant à l’extérieur de l’institution. Vraisemblablement mal adaptées au besoin de plusieurs, certains demandent à revenir à Saint-Michel-Archange après en avoir fait l’expérience. D’autres, en général ceux dont l’autonomie au quotidien est la plus faible, ne quittèrent jamais l’hôpital après leur première admission. Aucun foyer ne paraît avoir été disposé à accueillir des individus aux besoins aussi grands que les leurs. En sommes, cette recherche démontre la pertinence d’un point de vue historique de s’intéresser au vécu de personnes ayant reçu un diagnostic de déficience intellectuelle. Son étude démontre en effet le rôle d’agents actifs qu’ils ont eu dans le cadre de leur institutionnalisation.

description: In the context of bubble universes produced by a first-order phase transition with large nucleation rates compared to the inverse dynamical time scale of the parent bubble, we extend the usual analysis to non-vacuum backgrounds. In particular, we provide semi-analytic and numerical results for the modified nucleation rate in FLRW backgrounds, as well as a parameter study of bubble walls propagating into inhomogeneous (LTB) or FLRW spacetimes, both in the thin-wall approximation. We show that in our model, matter in the background often prevents bubbles from successful expansion and forces them to collapse. For cases where they do expand, we give arguments why the effects on the interior spacetime are small for a wide range of reasonable parameters and discuss the limitations of the employed approximations.
