This paper presents a corpus study of bridging definite descriptions in the french corpus PAROLE. It proposes a typology of bridging relations; describes a system for annotating NPs which allows for a user friendly collection of all relevant information on the bridging definite descriptions occurring in the corpus and discusses the results of the corpus study1.

The author reports a case of an applicant whose myocardial bridging caused myocardial infarction. It had been thought that most instances of bridging were of little clinical significance. However, there have been reports showing that severe bridging of the left anterior descending coronary can produce myocardial ischemia or sudden death.

BACKGROUND While there are proponents of both bone-bridging and non-bone-bridging transtibial amputation techniques, there is a lack of evidence describing functional differences between these two techniques. The goal of the present investigation was to objectively compare the techniques of bone-bridging and non-bone-bridging with respect to limb socket displacement during physiologic loading. ...

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL, Berardinelli-Seip syndrome) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with a clinical presentation of paucity of adipose tissue, muscular hypertrophy, organomegaly, and insulin-resistant diabetes. A 4-month-old Taiwanese female infant had hepatosplenomegaly and low body weight gain despite a voracious appetite. Hypermetabolism, hyperhidrosis, loss of subc...

Continuous phylogeography is a growing approach to studying the spatiotemporal origins of RNA viruses because of its realistic spatial reconstruction advantages over discrete phylogeography. While the generalized linear model has been demonstrated as an effective tool for simultaneously assessing the drivers impacting viral diffusion in discrete phylogeography, there is no similar testing metho...

The ever growing amount of web images and their associated texts offers new opportunities for integrative models bridging natural language processing and computer vision. However, the potential benefits of such data are yet to be fully realized due to the complexity and noise in the alignment between image content and text. We address this challenge with contributions in two folds: first, we in...

AND XOR networks include all realizations of switching functions in two and multi level which in clude AND XOR and inverters as basic building blocks It has been shown that for many AND XOR canonical networks and trees the test set to detect stuck at faults and bridging faults are independent of the function being realized This paper provides a survey of these studies and introduces certain res...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The relationship between myocardial bridging and symptoms is still unclear. The purpose of our study was to assess the relationship between myocardial bridging detected by multidetector computed tomography and symptoms in a patient population with chest pain syndrome. METHODS The study enrolled 393 consecutive patients without previous coronary artery disease studi...

Communities with high levels of social capital are likely to have a higher quality of life than communities with low social capital (Coleman, 1988, 1990; Putnam, 1993, 2000). This is due to the greater ability of such communities to organize and mobilize effectively for collective action because they have high levels of social trust, social networks, and well-established norms of mutuality (the...

in this paper direct proofs of some common fixed point results for two and three mappings under weak contractive conditions are given. some of these results are improved by using different arguments of control functions. examples are presented showing that some generalizations cannot be obtained and also that our results are distinct from the existing ones.
