A Quantitative Approach to the Contrast and Stability of Sounds

چکیده
A Quantitative Approach to the Contrast and Stability of Sounds The phonology of a language (like other components of grammar) undergoes change in the course of time. Languages differ as to which phonemic contrasts are made and also which changes their phonological system undergoes. How intimately related these two aspects of a phonological system are remains an open question, though usually some relationship is expected. In this paper we look at two aspects of phonological systems and language change: 1) the relative stability of phonemes as presumed indirectly from a cross-linguistic study of cognates; 2) expressions of phonemic contrast with respect to a cross-linguistic study of word forms which differ in only one sound.

Comparison of Two Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Measurement Methods Used For Anatomical Localization of the Iron-Incorporated Deep Brain Nuclei
Introduction Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images produced by the QSM enable researchers and clinicians to easily localize specific structures of the brain, such as deep brain nuclei. These nuclei are targets in many clinical applications and therefore their easy localization is a must. In this study, we aimed to i...

متن کاملA New Approach for Scatter Removal and Attenuation Compensation from SPECT/CT Images
Objective(s): In SPECT, the sinogram contains scatter and lack of attenuated counts that degrade the reconstructed image quality and quantity. Many techniques for attenuation and scatter correction have been proposed. An acceptable method of correction is to incorporate effects into an iterative statistical reconstruction. Here, we propose new Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximiz...
