ParaMor, our unsupervised morphology induction system performed well at Morpho Challenge 2008. When ParaMor's morphological analyses, which specialize at identifying inflectional morphology, are added to the analyses from the general purpose unsupervised morphology induction system, Morfessor, the combined system identifies the morphemes of all five Challenge languages at recall scores higher t...

Background: Plant growth regulators (PGRs) have important roles in many processes such as germination, seedling growth, nutrition uptake, morphogenesis, ripening, etc. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of gibberellic acid, indole butyric acid, and methanol as plant growth regulators on morpho-physiological and phytochemical features in Thymus vulgaris L. Methods: The farm...

In this paper, we describe an ongoing project of developing a treebank for Amharic. The main objective of developing the treebank is to use it as an input for the development of a parser. Morphologically-rich Languages like Arabic, Amharic and other Semitic languages present challenges to the state-of-art in parsing. In such language morphemes play important functions in both morphology and syn...

In this work, Morfessor, a morpheme segmentation model and algorithm developed by the organizers of the Morpho Challenge, is outlined and references are made to earlier work. Although Morfessor does not take part in the official Challenge competition, we report experimental results for the morpheme segmentation of English, Finnish and Turkish words. The obtained results are very good. Morfessor...

in the classification of morpho-phonological processes of different languages proposed by jensen (1990), the least frequent process is perhaps the one related to morph-movement due to morpho-phonological reasons, which leads to changes in the canonical order of morphs in the word form. this article aimed to introduce a case of this rare process in kalhori kurdish. this process takes place in th...

Villi are ubiquitous structures in the intestine of all vertebrates, originating from the embryonic development of the epithelial mucosa. Their morphogenesis has similar stages in living organisms but different forming mechanisms. In this work, we model the emergence of the bi-dimensional undulated patterns in the intestinal mucosa from which villi start to elongate. The embryonic mucosa is mod...

2D reconstruction and quantification of synapse orthogonal projections (shado\VS) are proposed as apractical approach to obtain information about differences in their actual configuration. Thequantification of the shadows implies estimation of size parameters (area and perimeter) and shapefunctions (i.e. second order moment invariants independent of location and size). The method wa...

The planktonic foraminiferal morpho-species Globoconella inflata is widely used as a stratigraphic and paleoceanographic index. While G. inflata was until now regarded as a single species, we show that it rather constitutes a complex of two pseudo-cryptic species. Our study is based on SSU and ITS rDNA sequence analyses and genotyping of 497 individuals collected at 49 oceanic stations covering...

goal: this study aims at analyzing and categorizing different grammatical errors including morpho-syntactic and syntactic errors in written narratives of mentally retarded students in tehran. the frequencies of errors are compared among students in different grades. method: descriptive-analytic method has been used. a test consisted of four picture stories have been administered to 125 students...

Rapid phenotypic evolution is observed in response to rapid environmental changes. These variations can occur at different scales, from the population community. We intended characterize these multiscale responses rodents archaeological site El Harhoura 2 (Rabat, Morocco), dated Late Pleistocene Holocene, and relate them paleoenvironmental variations. Upper lower first molars were used as proxi...
