Lexical and Sandhi Tones in Nanchang Gan: A Phonetic Description
Creators: name: Cai, Yu
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This study is a descriptive and quantitative analysis of tones in Nanchang Gan (NCG).  The broader goal of this project is to contribute to the preservation of NCG, and tones in this language serve as a starting point. Specifically, this study looks at tones on monosyllabic words and tones on the first word of disyllabic compounds in NCG, as well as tone sandhi patterns in this language. Quantitative analyses were conducted, and the results show that there are five monosyllabic tones and eight disyllabic-compound-initial tones in NCG. Moreover, by comparing the tones of morphemes when produced in the monosyllabic and disyllabic contexts, nine tone sandhi patterns were found, some of which appear to parallel Mandarin tone sandhi patterns.

description: We report the discovery of a group of apparently young CoRoT red-giant stars exhibiting enhanced [alpha/Fe] abundance ratios (as determined from APOGEE spectra) with respect to Solar values. Their existence is not explained by standard chemical evolution models of the Milky Way, and shows that the chemical-enrichment history of the Galactic disc is more complex. We find similar stars in previously published samples for which isochrone-ages could be robustly obtained, although in smaller relative numbers, which could explain why these stars have not received prior attention. The young [alpha/Fe]-rich stars are much more numerous in the CoRoT-APOGEE (CoRoGEE) inner-field sample than in any other high-resolution sample available at present, as only CoRoGEE can explore the inner-disc regions and provide ages for its field stars. The kinematic properties of the young [$α$/Fe]-rich stars are not clearly thick-disc like, despite their rather large distances from the Galactic mid-plane. Our tentative interpretation of these and previous intriguing observations in the Milky Way is that these stars were formed close to the end of the Galactic bar, near corotation -- a region where gas can be kept inert for longer times, compared to other regions shocked more frequently by the passage of spiral arms. Moreover, that is where the mass return from older inner-disc stellar generations should be maximal (according to an inside-out disc-formation scenario), further diluting the in-situ gas. Other possibilities to explain these observations (e.g., a recent gas-accretion event) are also discussed.

subject: 320 - Politik

description: Empirical field research is a central part of forced migration and refugee studies, and scholars have discussed diverse ethical concerns and (potential) effects of fieldwork. A question that I have been particularly concerned about is the impact my research can have on refugees. Drawing on academic debates as well as my research experiences, I argue that building trust is fundamental in order to gather data. However, trust building could be seen merely as a tool for data collection which bears the risk of an objectifying approach to research about refugees. In lieu of perceiving refugees as ‘data sources’, research with refugees and thus participatory approaches not only transform refugees’ positions to active participants, but can also further the scope of findings.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema Nachhaltigkeitskriterien in der Kreditvergabe. Vor welchen Herausforderungen stehen Unternehmen und was ändert sich künftig bei der Kreditvergabe, wenn Nachhaltigkeitskriterien berücksichtigt werden? Durch die verpflichtende Offenlegung des Nachhaltigkeitsberichtes unter Berücksichtigung von ESG stehen Unternehmen vor neuen Herausforderungen. Besonders für Unternehmen stellt sich die Frage, wo nehmen sie die Daten überhaupt her. Bis jetzt bestand noch keine Notwendigkeit, diese Daten zu erheben. Die Darstellung zu diesen Themen erfolgt im Zuge der Arbeit. Ob ESG im Zusammenhang mit der Kreditvergabe bereits eine wesentliche Rolle spielt, wurde aufgrund der wissenschaftlichen Literatur recherchiert. Bei der Erarbeitung stellte sich heraus, dass ESG in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zwar vorhanden ist, aber im Bereich der Kreditvergabe noch nicht verankert ist. Im empirischen Teil werden praktische Erfahrungen und die derzeitigen Veränderungen durch die Nachhaltigkeitskriterien von meinem ExpertInneninterviews dargelegt. Aufgrund der geführten ExpertInneninterviews ergaben sich teilweise neue Erkenntnisse. So kristallisierte sich im Bereich Social zum Beispiel heraus, dass MitarbeiterInnen immer mehr darauf bedacht sind, dass Unternehmen nachhaltig sind. Beim Thema Umwelt sehen viele noch Handlungsbedarf und erwarten, dass hier so schnell wie möglich eine Umsetzung erfolgt. Interessant war, dass Kunden und Lieferanten von Unternehmen eine Offenlegung der Lieferketten fordern. Das Thema ESG ist bei einigen Unternehmen, besonders jenen die international handeln, stärker etabliert als bei anderen Unternehmen. Durch die qualitative Forschung konnte ein Einblick gewonnen werden, dass Unternehmen und Banken sich Ziele setzen und dann entsprechend umsetzen. Nur durch die Dokumentation und die Datensammlung ergeben sich langfristig gesehen Vergleichswerte. Eine Zukunft ohne ESG wird es nicht geben. ESG wird immer mehr in die Unternehmensstrategie und in die Bankenwelt mit einfließen, sei es im Zuge der Kreditvergabe oder den Ratings. Egal ob es Ratings durch Ratingagenturen sind, ESG-Ratings oder ob es die Kreditratings betrifft.

description: Sigma-phase intermetallic compound of Fe54Cr46 was investigated using DC and AC magnetic susceptibility techniques. A clear-cut evidence was found that the sample orders magnetically at Tc=23.5 K and its ground magnetic state is constituted by a spin glass. The temperature at which the zero-field cooled magnetization has its maximum decreases with an external magnetic field in line with the Gabay-Toulouse prediction. The temperature at which the AC magnetic susceptibility has its maximum does not depend on frequency which, in the light of the mean-field theory, testifies to very long magnetic interactions.

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We find significant fluctuations of angular momentum within the convective helium shell of a pre-collapse massive star - a core-collapse supernova progenitor - which may facilitate the formation of accretion disks and jets that can explode the star. The convective flow in our model of an evolved M_ZAMS=15Msun star, computed with the sub-sonic hydrodynamic solver MAESTRO, contains entire shells with net angular momentum in different directions. This phenomenon may have important implications for the late evolutionary stages of massive stars, and for the dynamics of core-collapse.

description: Computer programming was once thought of as a skill required only by professional software developers. But today, given the ubiquitous nature of computation and data science it is quickly becoming necessary for all scientists and engineers to have at least a basic knowledge of how to program. Teaching how to program, particularly to those students with little or no computing background, is well-known to be a difficult task. However, there is also a wealth of evidence-based teaching practices for teaching programming skills which can be applied to greatly improve learning outcomes and the student experience. Adopting these practices naturally gives rise to greater learning efficiency - this is critical if programming is to be integrated into an already busy geoscience curriculum. This paper considers an undergraduate computer programming course, run during the last 5 years in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London. The teaching methodologies that were used each year are discussed alongside the challenges that were encountered, and how the methodologies affected student performance. Anonymised student marks and feedback are used to highlight this, and also how the adjustments made to the course eventually resulted in a highly effective learning environment.

description: We extend the covariant variational approach for SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge to non-zero temperatures. The renormalization of the zero-temperature case is revisited and it is shown that the same counterterms are sufficient to render the low-order Green's function finite at non-zero temperature. We compute the ghost and gluon propagator numerically and show that it agrees in all qualitative respects with the results of high-precision lattice calculations.

description: Writing rap lyrics requires both creativity to construct a meaningful, interesting story and lyrical skills to produce complex rhyme patterns, which form the cornerstone of good flow. We present a rap lyrics generation method that captures both of these aspects. First, we develop a prediction model to identify the next line of existing lyrics from a set of candidate next lines. This model is based on two machine-learning techniques: the RankSVM algorithm and a deep neural network model with a novel structure. Results show that the prediction model can identify the true next line among 299 randomly selected lines with an accuracy of 17%, i.e., over 50 times more likely than by random. Second, we employ the prediction model to combine lines from existing songs, producing lyrics with rhyme and a meaning. An evaluation of the produced lyrics shows that in terms of quantitative rhyme density, the method outperforms the best human rappers by 21%. The rap lyrics generator has been deployed as an online tool called DeepBeat, and the performance of the tool has been assessed by analyzing its usage logs. This analysis shows that machine-learned rankings correlate with user preferences.

Year: 2021

description: ​Purpose:The purpose of this in-vitro study is to evaluate retention of the Locator and Locator R-Tx implant attachment system inserts at various time intervals after simulated function. Methods: Implant analogs with Locator and R-Tx abutments are placed into sections of anatomical ridge and gingival soft tissue replicas. Denturereplicas with inserts are evaluated before and after simulated function. Four groups of ten inserts (40 samples) for each of the two removable attachment systems (80 samples total) are evaluated at baseline, 6, and 12 months.Results:Significant differences in the amount of retention lost over time were found within and between the different retention level inserts.Conclusion:Both Locator attachment systems are viable options for removable prostheses. Wear of inserts need to be evaluated at recall visits and proper maintenance protocols set for individual patients. More studies are indicated to further evaluate use and longevity of the attachment systems.

description: In this paper we address the problem of interpolating a spline developable patch bounded by a given spline curve and the first and the last rulings of the developable surface. In order to complete the boundary of the patch a second spline curve is to be given. Up to now this interpolation problem could be solved, but without the possibility of choosing both endpoints for the rulings. We circumvent such difficulty here by resorting to degree elevation of the developable surface. This is useful not only to solve this problem, but also other problems dealing with triangular developable patches.

Visco-pseudo-hyperelastic model

description: Characterization and modeling of the mechanical behavior of biological tissues are critical to many biomedical related applications. For research and development, various soft materials have often been used as a tissue substitute. Among them, the mineral oil-based synthetic polymer styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) gel has gained some popularity due to its superior mechanical and physical properties. Tissue materials or their simulants are often characterized with quasi-static loading and are treated and modeled as a nonlinear hyperelastic material. As tissues are often subjected to loadings with a wide range of strain rates, understanding of the mechanical behavior and development of a predictive capability for such loadings are essential. The objectives of this study are two-folds. One is to experimentally characterize the deformation and fracture behaviors of SEBS gels with different chemical compositions and polymer concentrations under uniaxial loadings with a wide range of strain rates, and the other is to develop a material model that is viable for such loadings.
description: For charactering the deformation behavior, the quasi-static loading experiments were conducted with standard mechanical test system and the dynamic loading experiments were conducted with the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique. The strain rates ranged from 1×10-3/s to 6×103/s. The fracture behavior was characterized with two types of experiments, namely, pure shear test and trouser test, with strain rates in the range of 1×10-3/s~1×10-1/s. The two types of tests yielded consistent results. Both deformation and fracture behaviors exhibited substantial rate sensitivity.
description: Based on the data from deformation characterization, a comprehensive visco-pseudo-hyperelasticity model was developed. The model was demonstrated to be able to capture all the material features observed in the experiments, such as rate sensitivity, strain-induced softening, and permanent deformation after unloading. The developed model was then used to determine the fracture toughness and gain insights on the rate dependence of the fracture behavior of SEBS gel.

description: We investigate the effects of a K-mouflage modification of gravity on the dynamics of clusters of galaxies. We extend the description of K-mouflage to situations where the scalar field responsible for the modification of gravity is coupled to a perfect fluid with pressure. We describe the coupled system at both the background cosmology and cosmological perturbations levels, focusing on cases where the pressure emanates from small-scale nonlinear physics. We derive these properties in both the Einstein and Jordan frames, as these two frames already differ by a few percents at the background level for K-mouflage scenarios, and next compute cluster properties in the Jordan frame that is better suited to these observations. Galaxy clusters are not screened by the K-mouflage mechanism and therefore feel the modification of gravity in a maximal way. This implies that the halo mass function deviates from $Λ$-CDM by a factor of order one for masses $M\gtrsim 10^{14} \ h^{-1} M_\odot$. We then consider the hydrostatic equilibrium of gases embedded in galaxy clusters and the consequences of K-mouflage on the X-ray cluster luminosity, the gas temperature, and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We find that the cluster temperature function, and more generally number counts, are largely affected by K-mouflage, mainly due to the increased cluster abundance in these models. Other scaling relations such as the mass-temperature and the temperature-luminosity relations are only modified at the percent level due to the constraints on K-mouflage from local Solar System tests.

description: Glykon (Γλύκων) kültü İ. S. 2. yüzyıl ortalarında Aleksandros isimli bir hekim tarafından (Lucian. Alex. 22) , memleketi Abonouteikhos’ta (İnebolu) kurulmuştur. Hiciv yazarı Lukianos tarafından sahte peygamber (ψευδόμαντις) olarak anılan Aleksandros bazı özellikleriyle insan başlı bir yılan tasarlamış ve onu Pythagoras’ın ruh göçü öğretisinden esinlenerek Yeni Asklepios (Nέος Ἀσκληπιός) ilan etmiştir. Bunun ötesinde kendisinin bizzat Pythagoras’ın ruhunu taşıdığını, anne tarafından Perseus soyundan geldiğini ve babasının Asklepios’un oğlu Podaleiros olduğunu duyurmuştur. Yarattığı yeni Asklepios’a bir süre sonra Glykon ismini vererek, tanrıyla insanlar arasındaki yegâne peygamberlik görevini kendisi üstlenmiştir. Böylece mesleği sayesinde edindiği hekimlik bilgilerini teoloji ve felsefi birikimiyle harmanlayıp Asklepios, Apollon, Sabazios gibi tanrıların kültlerine ait birçok pratiği de Glykon kültüne uyarlamayı başarmıştır. Eklektik bir yapıya sahip olan Glykon kültünün içerisinde uygulanan ritüeller, gizemler ya da tanrı tarafından verilen kehânetler ayrı ayrı değerlendirildiğinde özgün bir konumda olmasalar da, bütünsel anlamda ünik bir yapı oluşturmuşlardır. Ayrıca İkinci Sofistik Dönem olarak adlandırılan, entelektüel tartışmaların en yüksek seviyede yapıldığı, kehânet merkezlerinin en etkin şekilde işlerlik kazandığı, Hıristiyanlığın ise artık her yerde hissedildiği İ. S. 2. yüzyılda, Aleksandros’un söz konusu başarısı göz ardı edilemeyecek kadar önemlidir. Zira Glykon kültünün tek bir merkezi ve peygamberi bulunmasına karşın yaklaşık çeyrek asır gibi kısa bir sürede ünü önce çevre kentlere, sonra Bithynia, Galatia ve Trakya bölgelerine, en nihayetinde ise imparatorluğun başkenti Roma’ya kadar ulaşmıştır (Alex. 2). Bunun sonucunda uzak bölgelerden ziyaretçi çekebilme hususunda Klaros gibi köklü kehânet merkezleriyle yarışır duruma gelerek , Markoman’larla yapılan savaş öncesinde İmparator Marcus Aurelius’a savaşın seyri hakkında bir kehânet gönderecek kadar önemli bir konuma yükselmiştir. Bu çalışma Aleksandros’un Glykon kültüne adapte ettiği çeşitli uygulamaları sunarak kültü tanıtmayı ve Aleksandros’un kısa sürede bu denli geniş coğrafyaya ulaşabilmesini sağlayan nedenler üzerinde durmayı amaçlamaktadır.
On the ambiguities in the tri-bimaximal mixing matrix and corresponding charged lepton corrections

description: Two negative signs naturally appear in the $U_{μ1}$ and $U_{τ2}$ elements of the Tri-bimaximal (TBM) matrix for positive values of the mixing angles $θ_{12}$ and $θ_{23}$. Apart from this, in other TBM matrices negative signs are shifted to other elements in each case. They account for positive as well as negative values of $θ_{12}$ and $θ_{23}$. We discuss the sign ambiguity in the TBM matrix and find that the TBM matrices, in fact, can be divided into two groups under certain circumstances. Interestingly, this classification of TBM matrices is accompanied by two different $μ-τ$ symmetric mass matrices which can separately be related to the groups. To accommodate non-zero value of $θ_{13}$ and deviate $θ_{23}$ towards first octant, we then perturb the TBM mixing ansatz with the help of charged lepton correction. The diagonalizing matrices for charged lepton mass matrices also possess sign ambiguity and respect the grouping of TBM matrices. They are parametrized in terms of the Wolfenstein parameter $λ$ and satisfy unitarity condition up to second order in $λ$.

Freedom of Movement and Equal Citizenship: Addressing Anti-Roma Discrimination Through Cultural Pluralism

description: Freedom of movement is a core aspect of citizenship for members of the European Union, yet Roma groups are often denied this right. The Roma face rampant discrimination across Europe, leading to problems of mobility among the Roma. A cultural pluralist approach to citizenship is the best way to restore the freedom of movement for the Roma because cultural pluralist policies give agency to minority groups in order to combat discrimination. Addressing the discrimination faced by the Roma and creating pathways for the Roma’s increased mobility creates a more equal citizenship status for this group.

description: The study of ionic liquids (ILs) has increased significantly over the past two decades as their favorable physiochemical properties have allowed them to be applied in a range of separation, electrochemical, and biological processes. During this time, researchers have repeatedly demonstrated the high customizability of ILs using careful cation/anion pairing to design ILs for highly specific tasks. More recently, focus has shifted to the study of IL/solvent mixtures to increase the range and efficacy of IL-applications. The diverse nature and complexity of these IL systems requires researchers to develop new techniques and metrics for understanding IL behavior by way of thermophysical properties. This work aims to further the present understanding of IL behavior in neat IL and IL/solvent systems using combined experimental and theoretical approaches. We place a central focus on ion dissociation, which describes the extent to which cations and anions in ionic liquids (ILs) and ionic liquid solutions exist as individual “free” species. Ion dissociation is of both fundamental scientific interest and practical importance because ion dissociation has been shown to impact viscosity, density, surface tension, volatility, solubility, chemical reactivity, and many other important chemical and physical properties. In this work, we introduce a novel framework for estimating ion dissociation using easily obtained density, viscosity, and conductivity measurements in conjunction with ion Stokes Radii estimates. This framework is used to evaluate a number of ILs and IL solutions and used to establish a comprehensive overview of anion, cation, and solvent effects on ion transport properties. In addition to estimating ion dissociation, we consider the effects of ion-solvent interactions, including hydrogen bonding and microstructure formation, on ion transport properties.
Policing Black Bodies Across the Atlantic: Examining German and American Anti-Black Racism

description: Accounts detailing the atrocities committed by the Nazi party too often overlook their persecution of the Black German community. Even less often is the course of anti-Black racism in Germany detailed from its origins in the German Empire’s colonial endeavors through the Third Reich. In this thesis, I draw widely on the work of scholars like Tina Campt, Iris Wigger, Fatima El-Tayeb, Kathleen Reich, and Clarence Lusane to add to the academic discourse regarding Blackness in Germany. I contribute to the dialogue by adding an element of my own: I seek to evaluate the parallels between America and Germany’s quests to contain Blackness, and specifically Black male sexuality. Incorporating scientific rhetoric put forth by anti-abolitionists and eugenicists, I analyze the ways in which the moral panic surrounding the presence of Black communities in Germany and America alike invoked “medical” and “anthropological” discourses of race, racial difference, miscegenation, and freedom. In putting forth scientific arguments, both the United States and Germany sought to dehumanize and “other” Black communities.

description: The angular correlation of coincident gamma-rays emitted from Europium-152 (¹⁵²Eu) was determined by measuring coincident gamma-rays at multiple distances and detector orientations. Due to the nature of ¹⁵²Eu, it is possible to look at coincident gamma-rays produced during beta minus (β-) decay and electron capture. By looking at the 344 keV and 778 keV coincident gamma-rays which result from β- decay, and the 121 keV and 244 keV coincident gamma-rays from electron capture, an angular correlation coefficient (W) was calculated. The W for gamma-gamma coincidence produced by electron capture was higher when the detectors were at or close to parallel (180°). The W for gamma-gamma coincidence for β- decay was higher as the angle between detectors approached perpendicular (90°).

description: We present a Monte Carlo radiative transfer technique for calculating synthetic spectropolarimetry for multi-dimensional supernova explosion models. The approach utilises "virtual-packets" that are generated during the propagation of the Monte Carlo quanta and used to compute synthetic observables for specific observer orientations. Compared to extracting synthetic observables by direct binning of emergent Monte Carlo quanta, this virtual-packet approach leads to a substantial reduction in the Monte Carlo noise. This is vital for calculating synthetic spectropolarimetry (since the degree of polarisation is typically very small) but also useful for calculations of light curves and spectra. We first validate our approach via application of an idealised test code to simple geometries. We then describe its implementation in the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code ARTIS and present test calculations for simple models for Type Ia supernovae. Specifically, we use the well-known one-dimensional W7 model to verify that our scheme can accurately recover zero polarisation from a spherical model, and to demonstrate the reduction in Monte Carlo noise compared to a simple packet-binning approach. To investigate the impact of aspherical ejecta on the polarisation spectra, we then use ARTIS to calculate synthetic observables for prolate and oblate ellipsoidal models with Type Ia supernova compositions.

description: Successful studies on radiation therapy for gastric lymphoma led to a decrease in planning target volume (PTV) and radiation dose with low toxicities, maintaining excellent survival rates. It remains unclear as to which effects are to be expected concerning dose burden on organs at risk (OAR) by decrease in PTV vs. dose and whether a direct impact on toxicity might be expected. We evaluated 72 radiation plans, generated prospectively for a cohort of 18 patients who were treated for indolent gastric lymphoma in our department. As a prospective work, four radiation plans with different radiation doses and target volumes (40 Gy-involved field, 40 Gy-involved site, 30 Gy-involved field, 30 Gy-involved site) were generated for each patient. Mean dose burden on adjacent organs was compared between the planning groups. Cohort toxicity data served to estimate parameters for the Lyman–Kutcher–Burman (LKB) model for normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). These were used to anticipate adverse events for OAR. Literature parameters were used to estimate high-grade toxicities of OAR. Decrease of dose and/or PTV led to median dose reductions between 0.13 and 5.2 Gy, with a significant dose reduction on neighboring organs. Estimated model parameters for liver, spleen, and bowel toxicity were feasible to predict cohort toxicities. NTCP for the endpoints elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count, and diarrhea ranged between 15.9 and 22.8%, 27.6 and 32.4%, and 21.8 and 26.4% for the respective four plan variations. Field and dose reduction highly impact dose burden and NTCP for OAR during stomach radiation. Our estimated LKB model parameters offer a good approximation for low-grade toxicities in abdominal organs with modern radiation techniques.

description: For some variants of regression models, including partial, measurement error or error-in-variables, latent effects, semi-parametric and otherwise corrupted linear models, the classical parametric tests generally do not perform well. Various modifications and generalizations considered extensively in the literature rests on stringent regularity assumptions which are not likely to be tenable in many applications. However, in such non-standard cases, rank based tests can be adapted better, and further, incorporation of rank analysis of covariance tools enhance their power-efficiency. Numerical studies and a real data illustration show the superiority of rank based inference in such corrupted linear models.

description: The goal of this paper is to compute the cuspidal Calogero-Moser families for all infinite families of finite Coxeter groups, at all parameters. We do this by first computing the symplectic leaves of the associated Calogero-Moser space and then by classifying certain "rigid" modules. Numerical evidence suggests that there is a very close relationship between Calogero-Moser families and Lusztig families. Our classification shows that, additionally, the cuspidal Calogero-Moser families equal cuspidal Lusztig families for the infinite families of Coxeter groups.

description: Subdiffusion has been proposed as an explanation of various kinetic phenomena inside living cells. In order to fascilitate large-scale computational studies of subdiffusive chemical processes, we extend a recently suggested mesoscopic model of subdiffusion into an accurate and consistent reaction-subdiffusion computational framework. Two different possible models of chemical reaction are revealed and some basic dynamic properties are derived. In certain cases those mesoscopic models have a direct interpretation at the macroscopic level as fractional partial differential equations in a bounded time interval. Through analysis and numerical experiments we estimate the macroscopic effects of reactions under subdiffusive mixing. The models display properties observed also in experiments: for a short time interval the behavior of the diffusion and the reaction is ordinary, in an intermediate interval the behavior is anomalous, and at long times the behavior is ordinary again.

description: We present a lattice QCD calculation of the $B \rightarrow D l ν$ semileptonic decay form factors $f_+(q^2)$ and $f_0(q^2)$ for the entire physical $q^2$ range. Non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) bottom quarks and Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) charm and light quarks are employed together with $N_f = 2+1$ MILC gauge configurations. A joint fit to our lattice and BaBar experimental data allows an extraction of the CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$. We also determine the phenomenologically interesting ratio $R(D) = {\cal B}(B \rightarrow D τν_τ) / {\cal B}(B \rightarrow D l ν_l)$ ($l = e, μ$). We find $|V_{cb}|_{excl.}^{B \rightarrow D} = 0.0402(17)(13)$, where the first error consists of the lattice simulation errors and the experimental statistical error and the second error is the experimental systematic error. For the branching fraction ratio we find $R(D) = 0.300(8)$.
