This study examines morphological awareness in developmental dyslexia. While the poor phonological awareness of dyslexic children has been related to their difficulty in handling the alphabetical principle, less is known about their morphological awareness, which also plays an important part in reading development. The aim of this study was to analyze in more detail the implications of the phon...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous molecular phylogenetic studies disagree with the informal generic-level taxonomic groups based on morphology. In this study morphological characters in the caesalpinioid clade Detarieae are evaluated within a phylogenetic framework as a means of better understanding phylogenetic relationships and morphological evolution. METHODS Morphological characters were obser...

Considerable behavioral research has demonstrated that the visual word recognition system is sensitive to morphological structure. It has typically been assumed that analysis of morphologically complex words occurs only when the meaning of these words can be derived from the meanings of their constituents (e.g., hunter = hunt + er). However, results from recent behavioral research using the mas...

Originally, mathematical morphology was a theory of signal transformations which are invariant under Euclidean translations. An interest in the extension of mathematical morphology to spatially-variant (SV) operators has emerged due to the requirements imposed by numerous applications in adaptive signal (image) processing. This paper presents a general theory of spatially-variant mathematical m...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was twofold. First, we investigated whether first-grade children evidenced morphological awareness and whether they used their knowledge of morphological relations to guide their spelling. Second, we sought to determine whether children's morphological awareness abilities were predictive of their performance on word-level reading and spelling measures. METHOD...

This paper describes a method of analysing words through morphological decomposition when the lexicon is incomplete. The method is used within a text-to-speech system to help generate pronunciations of unknown words. The method is achieved within a general morphological analyser system using Koskenniemi two-level rules.

In gray level images discontinuities in image intensity profiles is called edges. Detection of these discontinuities is essential steps in many machine vision tasks such as object recognition, motion analysis etc. In this paper, various morphological operators are used on MRI images and a new algorithm is applied to give better result. Keywords-Morphological operators, MRI images and threshold ...

We present a high-level description and error analysis of the Columbia-NYUAD system for morphological reinflection, which builds on previous work on supervised morphological paradigm completion. Our system improved over the shared task baseline on some of the languages, reaching up to 30% absolute increase. Our ranking on average was 5th in Track 1, 8th in Track 2, and 3rd in Track 3.

The morphological response of Vero cells to Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin was similar to that of cholera toxin and was accompanied by increases in the intracellular level of cyclic AMP. The effects of both enterotoxins were enhanced by the presence of phosphodiesterase inhibitor and inhibited by heat or specific antisera. Accumulation of cyclic AMP preceded the morphological response.
