BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common inflammatory - degenerative disease of myelin sheet of central nervous system that affects more young people. These patients show some degrees of cognition problems such as memory and processing disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the speed processing ability by word finding assessment in three categories include fruits, animals and ob...

The Ngram Statistics Package (Text::NSP) is freely available open-source software that identifies ngrams, collocations and word associations in text. It is implemented in Perl and takes advantage of regular expressions to provide very flexible tokenization and to allow for the identification of non-adjacent ngrams. It includes a wide range of measures of association that can be used to identify...

Empirical algorithms have become the mainstream of significant wave height (SWH) retrieval from synthetic aperture radar (SAR). But plentiful features multi-polarizations make selection input for empirical model a problem. Therefore, XGBoost models are developed and evaluated SWH polarimetric Gaofen-3 mode imagettes using SAR different polarization combinations, then importance each feature on ...

A collocation is a habitual word combination. Collocational knowledge is essential for many tasks in natural language processing. We present a method for extracting collocations from text corpora. By comparison with the SUSANNE corpus, we show that both high precision and broad coverage can be achieved with our method. Finally, we describe an application of the automatically extracted collocati...

the present work is the successful extension of an improved equation of state (eos) to refrigerant fluids. the objective is the prediction of isothermal and saturated liquid densities of refrigerants. two temperature-independent parameters appearing in the modified eos are closely related to critical point properties of refrigerant fluids. our results showed that, the proposed eos can predict w...

This study aimed at finding features of collocational deviations in the translations of Tuesdays with Mor- rie. In this direction, categories of collocations and collocational clashes, as well as causes of collocation- al clashes were explored. The present work investigated five Persian translations of the novel. All the books were examined completely and all possible collocational clashes were...

1 See the demo site at http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/{~anup,~TeleLrn} ABSTRACT Limitations on the bandwidth to a server makes the retrieval of a large-size high-resolution image, even compressed, very time-consuming. To speed up this process we replace the retrieval process from a single server with the retrieval from multiple servers, i.e., simultaneously retrieving different part of an image from...

The neural network algorithm in this paper is applied to the ocean surface wind speed retrievals. Firstly, the Ku band backscattering coefficient (σKu) is considered as the input parameter to retrieve the wind speed and the retrieval precision reaches 1 m/s (root mean square error) for HY2 altimeter. Secondly, by introducing the Ku-band significant wave height (swhku), C-band backscattering coe...

Previous research suggests that, in reaction time (RT) measures of episodic memory retrieval, the unique effects of adult age are relatively small compared to the effects aging shares with more elementary abilities such as perceptual speed. Little is known, however, regarding the mechanisms of perceptual speed. We used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to test the hypothesis that white matter inte...

This study examined the effects of input-oriented and output-oriented tasks with different involvement load indices on Iranian EFL learners' comprehension and production of lexical collocations. To achieve this purpose, a sample of 180 intermediate-level EFL learners (both male and female) participated in the study. The participants were in six experimental groups. Each of the groups was random...
