Although Atractylodes macrocephala is an important economically medicinal plant with a centuries’ cultivation history, our understanding of its morphological variation remains rudimentary. Here, in order to generate information on character association, and influence of characters on rhizome yield of cultivated Atractylodes macrocephala, variability, correlation and principal component analysis...

This paper describes a method of using a tracking system to track the upper part of the anterior surface during scanning for developing patient-specific models of respiration. In the experimental analysis, the natural variation in the anterior surface during breathing will be modeled to reveal the dominant pattern in the breathing cycle. The main target is to produce a patient-specific set of p...

This paper expounds an algorithm for morphological analysis of English language. The algorithm consists of two closely related components: morphological rule learning and morphological analyzing. The morphological rules are obtained through statistical learning from wordlist, with particular morphological features of English language taken into consideration. The procedure of morphological anal...

This paper compares the performance of four statistical classifiers, namely linear discriminant classifier, quadratic discriminant classifier, k-Nearest Neighborhood classifier, and parzen classifier are considered for recognition of 2D-shapes. The two features from morphological skeletons and four features from morphological shape decomposition are identified from 2D-shapes. These features are...

Geographic character variation in birds is usually attributed to natural selection for phenotypes that reflect locally adapted genetic differences. However, experimental transplants of red-winged blackbird eggs between nests in northern and southern Florida, and from Colorado to Minnesota, show that in this species a significant proportion of the regional differences in nestling development is ...
