Who We Are
LSA is a scholarly society for linguists and other interested individuals. LSA members include students, faculty, and linguists working in government, non-profit organizations, and industry. The mission of LSA is to advance the scientific study of language. LSA plays a critical role in the development and dissemination of linguistic scholarship for the advancement of knowledge and betterment of society.
Andrew Nevins (University College London). The LSA has defined my career, from my first successful job interview, to organizing a session at the Annual Meeting, to serving as Program Committee Chair. Most rewarding presently is my editorial role forPhonological Data & Analysis, recently publishing 5 articles on languages from the Amazon to the Caucasus to Taiwan, bringing new empirical insights to the field.
LSA has filed an amicus brief in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding a Florida law barring transgender and non-binary teachers from stating their chosen pronouns or titles in the classroom. Contrary to Florida’s contentions, linguistic science demonstrates that pronouns are not making objective truth claims about biological characteristics, nor are they difficult for children to learn.
The higher the LSA the higher the power band. Meaning you're power would be gained up top. The lower the lsa would give you a choppier idle but your power curve would kick in earlier.
A lobe separation of 110 degrees seems to be ideal when net duration is between 220 and 228 degrees, and 112 degrees is advantageous with net duration above 228 degrees.
Typically, narrower lobe separation develops peak torque at lower rpm and widening the separation tends to build peak torque higher in the rpm range. Nitrous engines, which make plenty of power and torque, often run wide lobe separation angles to moderate cylinder pressures and temperatures.
From what I've done, LSA has very little effect on idle. It's the intake closing that causes low speed issues. If the intake valve is still open, and the port can't overcome the upward movement of the piston, you get reversion.
Combined with Duration, the LSA determines Valve Overlap. This overlap has a significant impact on Engine Vacuum and idle quality. Camshafts with a "tight" LSA (106° - 109°) will usually have more overlap. Camshafts with a "wide" LSA (110° - 118°) will have less overlap.
