We present preliminary results of a cross-sectional study which had the following objectives: 1--to develop percentile curves of weight, height and head circumference of Portuguese children with Trisomy 21 from 0 to 48 months of age; 2--a comparison of the growth of children with Trisomy 21 with a control population of their siblings, and 3--a comparison between the growth of Portuguese and Ame...

Despite being largely used within our context, the questionnaire had not yet been translated and validated into the Portuguese language.

Studies of Portuguese phonetics and phonology indicate that fricatives are central to some interesting features of the language, yet studies of Portuguese fricatives have been few and limited. In this study, Portuguese fricatives were analyzed in ways designed to enhance our description of the language and to increase our understanding of the production of fricatives. Corpora of Portuguese word...

Comparative studies between Portuguese (T and HF) and Japanese (S10, T4, C14-5 and OKD-1) isolates of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus have been made in order to provide information to better understand the possible origin of the Portuguese isolates, recently introduced in the European Union. The main comparative aspects investigated were pathogenicity (seedling mortality ratio)...

The majority of current coreference resolution systems rely on annotated corpora to train classifiers for this task. However, this is possible only for languages for which annotated corpora are available. This paper presents a system that automatically extracts coreference chains from texts in Portuguese without the need for Portuguese corpora manually annotated with coreferential information. ...

METHODS The Portuguese-language version was developed according to a rigorous methodology, which included the following steps: preparation; ...

This paper evaluates the impact of semantic features in coreference resolution for the Portuguese language. We show that the new proposed features obtained on the basis of currently available Portuguese semantic resources improve results in precision, recall and f-measure.
