The analysis of sound and sonic devices in poetry is the focus of much poetic scholarship, and poetry scholars are becoming increasingly interested in the role that computation might play in their research. Since the nature of such sonic analysis is unique, the associated tasks are not supported by standard text analysis techniques. We introduce a formalism for analyzing sonic devices in poetry...

We show that Sonic hedgehog and patched are expressed in adjacent domains in the developing mouse retina. Treatment of cultures of perinatal mouse retinal cells with the amino-terminal fragment of Sonic hedgehog protein results in an increase in the proportion of cells that incorporate bromodeoxuridine, in total cell numbers, and in rod photoreceptors, amacrine cells and Muller glial cells, sug...

In this paper, a compensated compactness framework is established for sonic-subsonic approximate solutions to the n-dimensional(n ≥ 2) Euler equations for steady irrotational flow that may contain stagnation points. This compactness framework holds provided that the approximate solutions are uniformly bounded and satisfy H−1 loc (Ω) compactness conditions. As illustration, we show the existence...

hepatomegaly, decrease in the liver paranchymal echo and increase in the gallbladder wall thickness has been shown in acute viral hepatitis. the present study was done to determine sonographic changes in acute viral hepatitis. we performed liver and bile ducts sonography and specific tests on 42 patients (mean age: 31.5 and 61% male) with acute viral hepatitis. gallbladder wall thickness was se...

We study the regularity of semihyperbolic patches of self-similar solutions near sonic lines to a Riemann problem for the two-dimensional (2-D) Euler system. As a result, it is verified that there exists a global solution in the semihyperbolic patch up to the sonic boundary and that the sonic boundary has C1-regularity. The study of the semihyperbolic patches of solutions for the Euler system w...

The Sonic Flashlight is an ultrasound (US) device that projects real-time US images into patients with use of a semireflective/transparent mirror. The present study evaluated the feasibility of use of the Sonic Flashlight for clinical peripherally inserted central catheter placements, originally with the mirror located inside a sterile cover (n = 15), then with the mirror outside (n = 11). Succ...

A compensated compactness framework is established for sonic-subsonic approximate solutions to the two-dimensional Euler equations for steady irrotational flows that may contain stagnation points. Only crude estimates are required for establishing compactness. It follows that the set of subsonic irrotational solutions to the Euler equations is compact; thus flows with sonic points over an obsta...

This paper presents our system for transcription of polyphonic piano music – SONIC. SONIC takes an audio signal of a piano performance and tries to determine which notes were played by the performer, thus producing a list of notes and note onset times approximately matching the performance. SONIC is composed of three main parts: partial extractor, onset detector and note recognizer. We present ...

background: evaluation of herbicide pollution in aquatic environments needs the great concern and the most important echo-pollutant effects of herbicides are related to their effects on non target aquatic organisms. native fish can serve as a proper bio-indicator for evaluation  of pollution on aquatic ecosystems. objectives: to find environmentally friendly herbicides, in this study the acute ...

introduction contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (flair) is one of the mri sequences that can be used for detection and evaluation of pathological changes in the brain. in this work, we have studied the effect of different echo times (te) on the maximum relationship between signal intensity and concentration of the contrast agent using the flair sequence. materials and methods...
