High-resolution δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C records spanning the early to early-middle Miocene (15-20 MA) from ODP sites &4& and &51, Kerguelen Plateau

description: I present high-resolution (10-15 kyr) δ18O and δ13C from the Kerguelen Plateau  Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Sites &51 and &4& from 15 – 20 Ma. The fidelity of initial  age models developed using magneto-biostratigraphy are tested using the stability of the  Earth’s 405 kyr eccentricity cycle. The revised age model for Site &51 is astronomically  tuned to the 405 kyr eccentricity cycle and the paleomagnetic data are re-interpreted with  the aid of the δ18O time series (Mi events) and Wade and Palike’s (2004) nomenclature  for eccentricity minima. Astronomical tuning to higher frequencies (obliquity) was not  performed in this work due to sample resolution (~10kyr). A comparison of spectral  estimates of the untuned record with the tuned counterpart, as well as coherency with  Laskar et al. (2004)’s eccentricity solution, indicate that the tuning procedure improved  the age model without drastically changing spectral estimates with the addition of tie  points. The δ18O and δ13C show strong amplitudes for the long and short (405 and 125  kyr, respectively) eccentricity cycles; however, there is only a weak signal associated  with the 40 kyr obliquity cycle which may be attributed to the low temporal resolution at Site &51. Time-frequency analysis shows a decrease in the spectral density of the short  eccentricity cycle and an apparent increase in the higher frequency power (possibly the  40 kyr obliquity cycle) around 1& Ma. However, I cannot resolve at this time whether this  is an artifact related to a strong dissolution pulse around 1& Ma or if represents a change  in the dominant climatic forcing. Overall, Site &51 shows promise for future studies  concerning orbitally-paced climate during a period of time when many other deep-sea  records are severely affected by dissolution.
Development of a novel system for the expression on intracellular proteins

description: Mammalian cell expression has become an important recombinant protein production  system for a wide variety of applications because of the cells capacity for proper posttranslational  modification and molecular structure assembly. In the past, mammalian  expression has been optimized for secreted, glycosylated proteins. However, intracellular  protein expression leaves yet another layer of complexity to be solved when expressing  proteins in mammalian cells. There is a set of challenges that associates with intracellular  protein expression due to the post-translational modifications involved with the  bioactivity of the protein. The benefits to cytoplasmic protein production in mammalian  cells, particularly for eukaryotic proteins, are very significant. Improvements in this area  have been slow, however, due to limited development of the cell culture processes  needed for low-cost and higher-throughput expression in mammalian cells. Here, we  describe the development of a novel robust protein expression system using  recombination cloning, suspension cells and stable lentiviral transfection to decrease the  time and lower cost that can be combined to make mammalian cells much more amenable  for routine recombinant protein expression.
Automorphic distributions and the functional equation  for the standard L-function for G₂
Creators: name: Bate, Brandon

Year: 2013

description: In this thesis we calculate a series expansion for automorphic distributions on the Lie  group for the split real form of g2. We then define distributional analogues of the   function and the metaplectic Eisenstein series, which have many of the desirable  properties of their smooth counterparts. In conclusion, we prove a functional equation  for metaplectic Eisenstein distributions. It is believed that with these results, it should  be possible to define a distributional version of the Rankin-Selberg integral given in [6],  from which we should be able to derive the archimedean functional equation for the  standard L-function of generic, cuspidal automorphic representations of the Lie group  for the split real form of g2.

Material examined. 1 ♀, S Kholmsk, 08.VII.2019; 1 ♂, Yasnomorskoe, 19.VII.2019.
Distribution. Russia (S RFE: SW * Sakhalin, S Kurils—Iturup and Kunashir, S Khabarovskii Krai, S Amurskaya Oblast, Primorskii Krai), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu), North Korea, South Korea, NE China (eastern Inner Mongolia),? Mongolia.
Remarks. The finding of L. minna in Sakhalin significantly expands its distribution range to the northeast. The larval hostplant in Japan is Galium (Rubiaceae).
Recently Enkhtur et al. (2020) noted L. minna from Mongolia by citing Vojnits (1979), Scoble (1999) and the GBIF. However, the report of a single male of L. minna from the west of N Mongolia (Khövsgöl Aimag: Vojnits 1979: 209; and subsequently Viidalepp 1996: 27) needs to be verified, as actually this species is not yet known west from the Amur and NE China. The reference in Scoble (1999) is based on the incorrect treatment of the name ‡ Cidaria suffumata minor Staudinger, which actually is nomen nudum, and the “ type ” specimen associated with this name is actually E. silaceata originating from Buryatia (Russia), but not from Mongolia (see Beljaev 2016: 621–622). The reference to the GBIF is wrong as this site does not contain data on L. minna from this country. Thus, there are no reliable data on the distribution of L. minna in Mongolia.

description: An estimated 184,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States in 1996, with over 10% of these cases occurring in California. Many of these women will have undergone painful and risky treatments, which will have no benefit for some of them. Others who were deemed at low risk of having their tumor recur will not have undergone certain procedures that may have greatly benefited them. Although treatment decisions made by the physician and the patient are typically based on the extent of the woman’s disease, recent evidence suggests that specific factors related to the tumor ("tumor markers") may influence the extent to which a woman responds to her treatment. We propose to conduct a pilot study to lay the groundwork for a full study to determine whether women respond to breast cancer treatments differently depending on the status of certain tumor markers.

 The specific aims of the project are as follows: 1) to develop a partnership between Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) and the University of Southern California (USC), representing three distinct research areas: epidemiology, laboratory research, and clinical research; 2) to gather preliminary data on breast cancer treatment, breast cancer recurrence, survival and the status of specific tumor markers among a group of breast cancer patients diagnosed from 1988 through 1994 at the KPSC San Diego Medical Center; and 3) to prepare an application for a full TRC Award to examine tumor markers that may influence a woman’s response to breast cancer treatments.

 The proposed study will create the foundation for a larger study that can address fundamental questions regarding patient-treatment interactions, with the ultimate goals of improving survival among breast cancer patients and reducing the substantial discomforts and risks associated with breast cancer therapies among women who are unlikely to benefit from them.

Comparative analysis of chlamydia infection in wild type mice and mice with epithelial autophagy deficiency
Creators: name: Battaglia, Lauren
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Chlamydia is the most common cause of sexually transmitted bacterial infection worldwide and it leads to severe complications for women who become infected. Following initial infection, the bacterial pathogen ascends from the lower genital tract to the upper genital tract leading to pelvic inflammation and scarring of inflamed tissue. The scarring can lead to ductal obstruction, causing retention of fluid in the upper genital tract and ovaries, termed hydrosalpinx. This inflammation due to Chlamydia infection can lead to infertility. Despite the commonality of the disease and its severe consequences, the molecular pathogenesis and mechanism of pelvic inflammation following Chlamydia infection has yet to be elucidated. We investigated the molecular pathogenesis and its relation to host autophagy here.  The ATG5 gene is required for autophagy. Our lab has previously shown via mouse model that deletion of the ATG5 gene in myeloid cells results in a significant increase in upper genital tract inflammation following Chlamydia infection. To further investigate the role of autophagy in Chlamydia pathogenesis, mice with deleted ATG5 gene in epithelial cells were intravaginally infected with Chlamydia. The infection was monitored through weekly vaginal swabbing and calculation of Chlamydia bacterial titers from each swab. After Chlamydia infection cleared, the animals were sacrificed, upper genital tract pathology was observed and cytokine analysis was conducted on the vaginal swabs that were taken throughout the infection.  The p62 autophagy protein acts as a scaffold to bring bacterial pathogen to autophagy machinery. In the current study, p62-deficient mice were obtained and infected with Chlamydia. Vaginal swabbing throughout Chlamydia infection allowed us to estimate bacterial titers and assay the host cytokine response to the infection, and finally the upper genital tracts of the animals were removed for observation.  We found no significant difference in the pathology, bacterial clearance, or cytokine analysis between epithelial Atg5-deficient animals and wild type animals. This suggests that the Chlamydia bacteria may be employing mechanisms to evade or inhibit host autophagy in epithelial cells to promote its own survival. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the pathology, bacterial clearance, or cytokine analysis between the p62-deficient animals and wild type animals.

Material examined. 1 ♂, Leonidovo, 12.X.2009.
Distribution. Russia (RFE: Sakhalin, Kamchatka Peninsula, Okhotsk coast of Magadanskaya Oblast, Khabarovskii Krai, Amurskaya Oblast).
Remarks. The distribution of O. peninsularis in Sakhalin is confirmed. Before only two males of this species were known from the island, labeled as “Saghalien Central Exp. Sta. Konuma” [Novoaleksandrovsk], 21, 22.XI.1933 ” (Beljaev 1996). The new collecting locality is about 250 km northward of the previous one. Evidently, this species is widely spread in Sakhalin, except for possible the extreme south. In appearance, the moths are similar to Operophtera brunnea Nakajima, and can be distinguished for certain only by their genitalia. Kuzmin & Beljaev (2017) provided diagnostics of these species. The larvae are polyphagous on deciduous trees and shrubs.

The erroneous reference of L. denigrata for Mongolia (Inoue 1977; Choi 2012; Enkhtur et al. 2020; and others) goes back to Prout (1938: 181), who indicated it, among other places, from “Kalgan, Mongolia ”, which is currently Zhangjiakou, Hebei, China.

Effects of instrumental learning on auditory representations of social vocalizations in the songbird forebrain
Creators: name: Bell, Brittany Alicia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Both humans and songbirds learn to vocalize by imitating conspecific tutors heard during development.  Through imitation, juvenile male zebra finches develop a copy of their tutor’s song.  However, these copies are imperfect; each male produces a slightly different song that is unique and therefore useful for individual recognition. Although zebra finches can no longer learn to produce new vocal signals in adulthood, they remain able to show behavioral recognition of new songs they hear in social interactions that may involve reinforcement.  Furthermore, neural memories of specific songs can be detected in the size and rate of adaptation of electrophysiological responses recorded in two auditory processing areas in the songbird brain, the caudomedial mesopallium (CMM) and caudomedial nidopallium (NCM), which may be analogous to a secondary auditory cortex.   The current experiment tests the effects of auditory discrimination training in a GO/NoGO operant paradigm on auditory responses in these areas, which can serve as models for neural representations of socially learned auditory objects.  To do this, adult male and female zebra finches (n=16) were trained to peck in response to one of two stimuli (GO) and to withhold responding from the other (NoGO). Prior to this conditioning, female subjects had cohabited with a male, heard his song in that social context, and produced a brood of offspring.  After performance reached criterion, multi- and single-unit neural responses to operantly-trained, socially-relevant and novel song stimuli were obtained from multiple electrodes inserted bilaterally into NCM and CMM of awake, restrained birds.   The results show that both male and female subjects exhibited neural memories for operantly-trained auditory objects in forebrain auditory areas. The magnitude of neural responses and the rates of response adaptation for operantly-trained stimuli differed from those evoked by novel stimuli and also showed a different pattern of effects in NCM and CMM.  In addition, when subjects were grouped by the number of days required to reach criterion during training, fast learners showed higher absolute responses and faster neuronal adaptation in CMM than slow learners, while, in NCM, fast learners showed absolute responses that were more strongly left-lateralized than slow learners.  When females were also tested for neural memories of their mate’s songs, the effects of operant and social conditioning on auditory responses were in different directions.  Therefore, although both social exposure and operant conditioning induced neural memories for song in adult zebra finches, operant discrimination learning is not an appropriate model for studying the process by which individuals acquire the ability to recognize each other through song in social contexts.

description: The U.S. blood supply system, which underpins much of modern healthcare, daily engages in both market and gift exchange. Voluntary blood donation in the midst of a profit-oriented healthcare system is usually taken for granted and rarely discussed in the national debate over commodification of medicine. This thesis investigates how non-profit blood banks balance the demands of all the markets that they participate in, while supplying a substance that is provided as a gift by donors. The research questions are: What are the historical roots of the American blood supply system, or how was the current mix of commodity and gift exchange established? What kind of calculation, competition, and price setting do blood banks engage in? What kind of gift exchange do blood banks engage in? How is blood both a commodity and a gift, and what does this mean for blood banks? Using an analytical framework based on Michel Callon’s theory of market formation, the thesis investigates U.S. Senate archives from the 1960s and interviews with current blood bank staff in New Jersey to describe the historical and contemporary practices that allow blood banks to manage their participation in multiple economies. This research confirms the idea that blood can be considered both a gift and a commodity, while demonstrating how people in a variety of organizational roles theorize this situation.

Material examined. 1 ♂, 2 ♀, S Kholmsk, 21, 24.V, 9.VI.2021.
Distribution. Russia (S RFE: SW * Sakhalin, S Kurils—Kunashir (Rybalkin et al. 2022), S Khabarovskii Krai, Primorskii Krai), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Tsushima), South Korea.
Remarks. The finding of V. semistrigata in Sakhalin significantly expands its distribution range to the northeast. In appearance, the specimens from this island, as well as from Kunashir (Rybalkin et al. 2022, fig. 38), differ from the continental ones and are similar to those from Hokkaido in having moderately expressed and some brownish traverse lines on the wings and a very light brown stripe outward from the black postmedial line between the veins R and CuA1 on the forewing. Inoue (1963, 1977; and after them other Japanese authors) associated V. semistrigata from Hokkaido with the nominative subspecies V. s. semistrigata, whereas the moths with a brighter colouration of the wings from more southern Japanese islands were separated in subspecies V. semistrigata expressa Inoue. However, V. semistrigata from Sakhalin and Hokkaido differs in appearance both from the continental nominate subspecies and from V. s. expressa.
The known hostplant in Japan is Photinia villosa (Rosaceae), belonging to the apple subtribe Malinae. This plant is absent in Sakhalin; possibly, the species from the genera Malus and / or Sorbus could be the hostplants for V. semistrigata on the island.

Remarks. The finding of P.alchemillata in Sakhalin and in Hokkaido significantly expand its general distribution range to the east. It is noteworthy that until the end of the 20th century, this species was known eastward up to Transbaikalia only (Viidalep 1996). Then it was found in the upper Amur basin (in 2005: Beljaev 2006b), in the eastern Sikhote-Alin (in 1014: Beljaev & Vasilenko 2015), in the central Sakhalin (in 2015: present publication), in the southern Sakhalin (in 2018: present publication), and in Hokkaido (in 2019: Yazaki 2019). This series of findings may indicate a modern and fast invasion of P. alchemillata in East Asia.
It’s a meadow species. The hostplants of the larvae are mainly various Lamiaceae (Galeopsis, Stachys, Ballotia, and others).

description: This dataset was constructed to examine the individual determinants of incarceration during the first three decades of the 20th century. Individual-level data from the 1900 to 1930 U.S. population censuses were collected for all inmates in state correctional facilities for adult males in a sample of eight states: Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, and California. These data were formatted and coded to be consistent with the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series random samples of the population censuses. Variables include age, race, sex, birthplace, parental birthplaces, year of immigration (if foreign born), literacy, and prison facility location.The codebook file is a Microsoft Word (.docx) file describing data collection and all variables.
Microevolution in Coccolithophores

Year: 2013

description: Morphologic variability is a major theme in microevolutionary studies. Variations  provide the raw material from which opportunities for selection are generated, leading  to speciation. Three modes of evolution have been described from the paleontological  record— Gradualism (gradual evolution implying continuous changes over a long  time span), Punctuated Equilibrium (stable morphologies evolving through abrupt  jumps), and Punctuated Anagenesis (gradual shifts between stable morphologies).  There are only a handful of papers that illustrate unambiguously these models, and  none involved the coccolithophores. The latter are, however, an ideal taxonomic  group for evolutionary studies, with rapid generational turnovers, high morphological  diversity and abundance, and long fossil record.    I present three tests in this dissertation. In the first study, I test the significance of  morphological variability in the species Ellipsolithus macellus in terms of genetic  versus phenotypic expression, represented by, respectively, cryptic speciation versus  adaptation to oligotrophication of the early Paleocene (Danian) Ocean.    In the second study, I test for gradualism versus stasis in the short lived (3&0 kyr)  early Eocene species Heliodiscoaster mahmoudii, and show that morphological  fixation was achieved after 83 kyr (20% of the range of the species).    In the third study, I first follow up on the previous study to confirm morphologic  fixation in two other species that are part of the early Eocene Tribrachiatus lineage, T.  bramlettei being ancestral to T. contortus. I then test for abrupt versus gradual  morphological change during the evolutionary divergence of T. contortus from T.  bramlettei. I show that speciation in this lineage follows the model of Punctuated  Gradualism, or Punctuated Anagenesis. The T. bramlettei-T. contortus transition  occurs over &3 kyr during which high morphologic variability occurs and after which  the T. contortus morphology is fixated. Prior to the transition the T. bramlettei  morphology was also fixated.    This thesis unambiguously illustrates examples of Punctuated Anagenesis in the  Coccolithophores. Stasis (low morphologic variability) is the primary mode that  characterizes species during most of their life span. Speciation events are short  episodes of high morphologic variability (25% higher than during stasis) during  which morphologic fixation of the new species is progressively achieved.

Sexual conspecific aggression response (SCAR)

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Sexual abuse in adolescent girls and young women is unfortunately common and often leads to long-lasting deficits in thoughts and behaviors related to mental illness.  In order to study the neuronal consequences of sexual abuse, we developed an animal model referred to as SCAR. The acronym stands for Sexual Conspecific Aggression Response, which indicates behavioral, cognitive and neuronal changes that occur after repeated exposure to sexually aggressive and experienced adult males.  In the first set of experiments, pubescent females were exposed to an adult male aggressor for 30 minutes every three days over the course of adolescence (PND 35- PND 5&).  During adulthood, the female’s ability to learn an associative response was examined.  Overall, adult females that were exposed to the sexually aggressive males during puberty did not perform as well as females that were not exposed to the male and showed increased sensitized responsiveness to the conditioned stimulus.  Thus, the aggressive encounters during puberty were sufficient to induce long-lasting effects on processes of learning and sensitization during adulthood.  We also examined the effects of SCAR on the survival of new neurons in the hippocampus as a result of the training procedure.  In previous studies, we find that learning keeps new neurons alive.  However, adult females that were exposed to the aggressive adult males during puberty retained fewer new cells as a result of the training process.  Since they did not learn as well, these results indicate long-lasting effects of this procedure not only on cognition but also on the structural integrity of the adult brain.

Bad readers, perverse dreams
Creators: name: Bradway, Tyler
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: “Bad Readers, Perverse Dreams” examines what I call “bad reading”—modes of reading defined by uncritical ardor, perverse identification, hallucinatory confusion, and willful fantasy. I argue that postwar writers turn to experimental writing to develop forms of bad reading that challenge socially sanctioned affective responses to queer sexuality. Bad reading thus expands the affective relations readers can enact with text and texts with readers. Queer experimental writing is therefore not solely transgressive, as is often argued, but a performative mode of social imagination. However, its construction of social forms only becomes apparent when we historicize bad reading within postwar debates over the representation of non-normative desire. Each chapter thus pivots on the problems of reading that arise when writers draw on experimental form to represent sexual fantasy and desire; these writers include William S. Burroughs, Samuel Delany, Kathy Acker, Jeanette Winterson, Eve Sedgwick, and Alison Bechdel, among others. I examine how their experimental writing purposively elicits uncritical responses from readers—shock, disgust, titillation, anger, and love. These affective relations press back against constrictions placed on erotic representation, and they performatively reconstitute the relations between readers and texts endorsed by normative culture. My dissertation thus reveals that the analysis of affect is key to the definitional volatility of “reading” within the postwar period. I establish that the contestation of “critical reading” has been an ongoing project for authors of experimental writing since the mid-fifties. Whereas scholars tend to oppose critical and uncritical reading, experimental writers dialectically entwine affect, critique, and social imagination within bad reading. Bad reading therefore enables experimental writers to represent queer social forms that are otherwise unrealizable in their present. Thus, I conclude that experimental writing lies at the vanguard of postwar redefinitions of reading as an embodied, critical practice that can spark the desire for queer forms of community.
An active approach to diabetes self-management

description: Type 2 diabetes affects over 20 million people in the United States and has cost  the healthcare system billions of dollars. As a result, countless research hours and funds  are devoted to developing and testing programs to improve the self-management skills  of patients with diabetes. Some interventions produce clinically meaningful changes, but  few programs are based on theoretically sound protocols, which makes it difficult to  assess theory-based group or individual level variables that might be responsible for  changes in self-management. The current study piloted “An Active Approach to Diabetes  Self-Management,” a novel diabetes self-management intervention based on the  integration of two theories (the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation and Social  Cognitive Theory) with techniques from cognitive behavior therapy. The intervention was  developed within a Community Based Partnership Research framework. The 4-week  intervention consisted of weekly, two-hour group sessions that presented information on  and experiences with diabetes self-management, including the self-monitoring of blood  glucose, physical activity and nutrition. Sixteen participants participated in three groups  held in the fall of 2011 and February of 2012. The primary outcome was hemoglobin  A1C (A1C), which was measured before and three months after the start of the  intervention. Data were also collected on diabetes self-efficacy, self-management  behaviors, diabetes knowledge, general mental and physical functioning and feasibility.  iii  Results indicated that participants with baseline A1C levels above 6.5% had a significant  reduction in A1C over the course of the study. Self-efficacy and understanding of  diabetes increased over the course of the study. Diabetes-related negative affect  decreased over the course of the study and there was a trend towards a decrease in  BMI between baseline and the end of the study. Results also indicate that the workshop  was feasible with regards to participant and community staff member satisfaction, study  curriculum and the group process. As described within, future iterations must amend  inclusion criteria and the curriculum, improve the usability of questionnaires and increase  sample size in order to further test feasibility and to determine effect and sample sizes  for a larger trial.

Material examined. 1 ♂, 1 ♀, S Kholmsk, 13.IX.2017, 08.IX.2019.
Distribution. Russia (S RFE: SW Sakhalin, S Primorskii Krai), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima, Yakushima, Amami Oshima, Okinawa), South Korea (Jeju).
Remarks. The finding of G. esakii in Sakhalin significantly expands its distribution range to the northeast. In Japan the larvae are polyphages and were recorded on various plants from Ranunculaceae, Myricaceae, Rosaceae, Ulmaceae, Anacardiaceae, Araliaceae, Pittosporaceae, and Asteraceae; prefer flowers and buds. Possibly, in Sakhalin this species is migrant, as the moths have been recorded in autumn only, while in Japan it is a common species, occurring from May to October (Nakajima & Yazaki 2011).

Degrees of incompleteness in neutralization
Creators: name: Braver, Aaron
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation presents two case studies on incomplete neutralization (IN): flapping in American English (AmE) and monomoraic lengthening in Japanese. I provide experimental evidence showing that the underlying contrast in each case is only partly neutralized. I argue that these cases represent two points on a continuum of completeness of neutralization: a plausibly perceptible surface distinction (Japanese), and an indistinguishable surface distinction (flapping). Perception experiments support the imperceptibility of IN in flapping (Experiments 3, 4, and 5).    First, I argue that IN is not solely due to experimental artifacts. I show that the degree of neutralization remains constant between two tasks—one designed to increase such effects, and one designed to reduce them—suggesting that results of IN cannot be reduced to these factors (Experiments 1 and 2).    Second, I address the types of contrasts which can undergo IN. Most studies on IN center on feature/segment-level contrasts (e.g., voicing). Experiments 6 and & show that the Japanese vowel length contrast undergoes IN in monomoraic lengthening. I argue that the processes that can lead to IN must include suprasegmental and prosodic ones.    Third, given the experimental results, I claim that IN is best accounted for in a model of phonetics based on a weighted-constraint grammar (Legendre et al. 1990, Zsiga 2000, Flemming 2001). I propose two types of constraints: the first pressures segments to match a target value for a given phonetic measure (Flemming 2001). The second type of constraint, based on transderivational identity (Benua 199&, Steriade 2000), requires candidates to match a base form (determined by frequency) for a given phonetic measure.    Under the weighted constraint model, constraint conflict is resolved by compromise, rather than strict domination. This compromise, combined with access to quantitative phonetic detail, allows the model to generate languages at both the plausibly perceptible end of the IN spectrum (like Japanese) and the imperceptible end (like AmE), as well as the continuum in between.    Finally, I show that this model best accounts for the Directionality Observation of IN: the realization of two incompletely neutralized categories is predictable. On a continuum of the acoustic cue(s) that differentiate the categories, an incompletely neutralized segment falls between the canonical realizations of the two categories.
