There is broad consensus that the visual word recognition system is sensitive to morphological structure (e.g., "hunter" = "hunt" + "er"). Moreover, it has been assumed that the analysis of morphologically complex words (e.g., "hunter") occurs only if the meaning of the complex form can be derived from the meanings of its constituents (e.g., "hunt" and "er"). However, recent behavioral work usi...

Kerman and its surrounding towns consist of a flat alluvial plain of fine silt and clay materials. In morphological aspects, these sediments have a very gentle slope with the main infrastructure of the city build on them. Generally, the structure of undisturbed soils is developed over time due to the influence of environmental factors. Geological factors in Kerman fine-grained alluviums have ca...

We proposed an intensity-based morphological pyramid image registration algorithm. This approach utilizes the global affine transformation model, also considering radiometric changes between images. With the morphological pyramid structure, Levenberg-Marquardt optimization, and bilinear interpolation, this algorithm can be implemented hierarchically and iteratively with capability of measuring,...

We propose a novel method for learning morphological paradigms that are structured within a hierarchy. The hierarchical structuring of paradigms groups morphologically similar words close to each other in a tree structure. This allows detecting morphological similarities easily leading to improved morphological segmentation. Our evaluation using (Kurimo et al., 2011a; Kurimo et al., 2011b) data...

A new technique for the realisation of soft morphological filters based on the majority gate algorithm is presented in this paper. A pipelined systolic array architecture suitable to perform soft morphological filtering is also presented. The processing times of the proposed hardware structure do not depend on the data window size and the required silicon area is linearly related to the number ...

Within the framework of info-computationalism, morphological computation is described as fundamental principle for all natural computation (information processing). Foundations of a New Science of Computation Present computational machinery evolved from mechanical calculators to electronic machines with vacuum tubes and then transistors, and to integrated circuits and eventually microprocessors...

This study examined the relationship between morphological structure of languages and performance asymmetries of native speakers in lateralized tasks. In 2 experiments, native speakers of English (concatenative morphology stem plus affix) and of Hebrew and Arabic (nonconcatenative root plus word-form morphology) were presented with lateralized lexical decision tasks, in which the morphological ...

Gills of the seawater fi sh Cat/w raps spixii (Agassiz, 1829) were submitted to routine processing for observation in scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The wrinkled surface of the gill filaments showed well-defined cellular ultrastructures. Microridges on cellular surface were projected over all gi ll structures, including respiratory lamellae. Chloride cells were usually at primar...

Linear filter banks with critical subsampling and perfect reconstruction (PR) property have received much interest and found numerous applications in signal and image processing. Recently, nonlinear filter bank structures with PR and critical subsampling have been proposed and used in image coding. In this paper, it is shown that PR nonlinear subband decomposition can be performed using the Gal...

The chemical composition of comet nuclei derived from current data on interstellar dust ingredients and comet dust and coma molecules are shown to be substantially consistent with each other in both refractory and volatile components. When limited by relative cosmic abundances the water in comet nuclei is constrained to be close to 30% by mass and the refractory to volatile ratio is close to 1:...
