The serotyped strains were identified using biochemical tests such as amino acid and sugar assimilation tests.
Assimilation has to do with how an entity integrates new parts with its old.
A more subtle reaction is some form of assimilation and appropriation of e-government systems by key stakeholders within the context of deployment and use.
Presumably the injected proteins accumulate in soluble pools before assimilation.
On the other hand, assimilation is progressive (left-toright) in one case : a trough \\i\\ will assimilate to a preceding trough \\a\\.
We hasten to add that our proposal is not incompatible with other areas of laryngeal phonology, such as neutralisation and assimilation.
Voicing assimilation unexpectedly fails to apply in the context /t+d/, and epenthesis unexpectedly goes out of its way to apply in exactly this context.
In instances of place assimilation, a key property is that unreleased consonants take on the place features of a neighbouring onset but not the reverse.
The capital letter consonants represent consonants that undergo voicing assimilation.
However, for those cases in which perceptual assimilation arguably is not at stake, we acknowledge that ease of articulation can play a role.
Specifically, we will examine the relation between facts of phonetic difficulty in perception of syllable-final stops and common sound patterns of place assimilation.
