In this paper we investigate how readability varies between texts originally written in English and texts translated into English. For quantification, we analyze several factors that are relevant in assessing readability – shallow, lexical and morpho-syntactic features – and we employ the widely used Flesch-Kincaid formula to measure the variation of the readability level between original Engli...

Leaf hydraulic conductance (K leaf) is a major determinant of photosynthetic rate in plants. Previous work has assessed the relationships between leaf morpho-anatomical traits and K leaf with woody species, but there has been very little focus on cereal crops. The genus Oryza, which includes rice (Oryza sativa) and wild species (such as O. rufipogon cv. Griff), is ideal material for identifying...

This paper addresses the question of how certain kinds of overlapping syncretisms in inflectional paradigms can be accounted for that Baerman et al. (2005) refer to as convergent/divergent bidirectional syncretisms (based on earlier work by Stump (2001)). Bidirectional syncretism strongly resists accounts in terms of standard rules of exponence (or similar devices) that correlate inflection mar...

Introduction: Non‐conventional techniques represent a more and more frequently employed alternative in medi‐ cine, firstly due to their minimally invasive character. Laser technologies represent forward‐looking methods to which numerous stomatologists resort, mainly because of their multiple applications in periodontology. The scope of the study was to identify the possible morpho‐histological ...

introduction lentil (lens culinaris medik.) is a good source of protein, carbohydrates as well as minerals, vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids as such it plays an important role in the human diet and cultivated worldwide. water shortage is one of the most important abiotic factors that can limit morphological, physiological, yield, and plant distribution. legumes such as lentil are highly sen...

This paper presents the evaluation of automatic break insertion for standard Basque. Basque is an agglutinative and inflected language and POS features, widely used for other languages, are not enough to accurately predict the insertion of breaks in the text. Other morpho-syntactic features, like grammatical case and information about syntagms have also been taken into account. With a textual c...

Relevance: closed chest injury is one of the most common types injuries that can cause life-threatening conditions. Victims with such often require carrying out a forensic medical examination. The purpose this study to determine from aspects severity in patients treated specialized surgical hospital order establish additional criteria for diagnosis injuries. Materials and methods: 66 histories ...

BACKGROUND The severity and course of spinal pain is poorly understood in adolescents. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and two-year incidence, as well as the course, frequency, and intensity of pain in the neck, mid back, and low back (spinal pain). METHODS This study was a school-based prospective cohort study. All 5th and 6th grade students (11-13 years) at 14 schools in the Reg...

S ometimes when a child is sick or hurt, it is necessary for physicians to do a procedure. The purpose of some procedures is to get more medical information; examples include doing a blood draw using a needle or collecting urine through a plastic tube called a catheter that goes into your child’s urethra. The purpose of other procedures is for a treatment, such as putting in stitches for a cut ...

The bright and iridescent blue color from Morpho butterfly wings has attracted worldwide attentions to explore its mysterious nature for long time. Although the physics of structural color by the nanophotonic structures built on the wing scales has been well established, replications of the wing structure by standard top-down lithography still remains a challenge. This paper reports a technical...
