In the analysis of a newspaper page an important step is the clustering of various text blocks into logical units, i.e., into articles. We propose three algorithms based on text processing techniques to cluster articles in newspaper pages. Based on the complexity of the three algorithms and experiment on actual pages from the Italian newspaper L’Adige, we select one of the algorithms as the pre...

In this thesis, media convergence strategies and added value of digital news services are investigated, focusing on the newspaper industry and it’s audience. Convergence implies that previously unalike areas come together, approaching a common goal. A subordinate concept of convergence, i.e., media convergence, is a concept that has become common when denoting a range of processes within the pr...

Alpha7beta1 integrin is a transmembrane structural and receptor protein of skeletal muscles, and the absence of alpha7-integrin causes muscular dystrophy. We hypothesized that the absence of alpha7-integrin alters compliance and viscoelasticity and disrupts the mechanical coupling between passive transverse and axial contractile elements in the diaphragm. In vivo the diaphragm is loaded with pr...

This article analyses complex and ambiguous aspects of modernisation, depicted by Stefan Żeromski in his intriguing but rather obscure novel “Promień” [“The Ray”] (1898). The writer chooses a provincial town for scenery – although based on Kielce, it is hidden with fictional name which experiences an industrial revolution miniature. A railroad built the area, old, solid shops enterprises brough...

  This paper investigates the use of ‘lexical bundles’ in two broad corpora of journalistic writing. The aim of this study is to compare the use of lexical bundles in the two domains, one consisted of newspaper articles written in English and published in England and the other one comprised of newspaper articles written in Persian from Iranian publications. For this purpose, the frequency...

Abstract Thematic development refers to the way theme and rheme in the clause are developed. The theory of rhetorical structure can be defined as the strategies that follow specific ways to make writing more persuasive. The present study aimed to examine how Iraqi writers maintain cohesion in the text by analyzing the patterns of thematic progression in various rhetorical sections in an online ...

As a first step in defining the molecular cues that may be important for reinnervation of long-term denervated muscle, single adult rat muscle fibers that had been denervated from 2 to 24 months in vivo were maintained in culture for 5 days. Embryonic ventral spinal cord explants were added to some of these cultures. Interactions of neurites with individual short-term (up to 5 months) and long-...

This study assesses the effects of age on the composition of the anterior commissure of the rhesus monkey. The anterior commissures of nine young (5-10 years), five middle-aged (15-20 years), and eight old (25-35 years) monkeys were examined by light and electron microscopy. In all, 90-95% of the nerve fibers in the anterior commissure are myelinated. With age, the structure of the myelin sheat...

A 34-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of progressive apathy, executive dysfunction, and memory impairment. Examination revealed moderate frontal dysfunction bipyramidal signs. MRI brain (figure 1) showed symmetric leukoencephalopathy sparing subcortical U-fibers.
