AIM Occlusal disharmony is frequently observed among edentulous patients. With the side effects of occlusal disharmony in mind, the goal of this research was to investigate the prevalence of occlusal disharmony in inserted complete dentures and its associated causes. METHODS AND MATERIALS This cross-sectional study was conducted on 107 selected patients. Factors such as age, gender, ridge rel...

We present two novel examples of simple algorithms which characterize the grammars of low-resource languages: a tool for the characterization of vowel harmony, and a framework for unsupervised morphological segmentation which achieves state-of-the-art performance. Accurate characterization of grammars jump starts the process of description by a trained linguist. Furthermore, morphological segme...

This article presents an overview of several significant aspects the phonology Uyghur (ISO: uig; pronounced [ʊjˈʁʊr]; Turkic: China). In addition to summarising previous research, we present new data and highlight its relevance for phonological theory. The paper focuses primarily on processes backness harmony, rounding vowel reduction. Particular attention is paid complex, sometimes opaque, int...

Rest is a health-related phenomenon. Researchers have explored the phenomenon of rest, but further concept development is recommended. The aim of my study was to develop and describe a concept of rest, from interviews with a total of 63 participants about their lived experiences of rest. I performed the developing process in two stages: first with descriptive phenomenology and second with a her...

OBJECTIVES A phenomenological study was conducted to gain understanding of the nature of the lived experience of doing occupational therapy. METHOD One hundred and forty-eight occupational therapists nationwide were asked to describe especially satisfying and dissatisfying experiences of practice. The resulting narrative data were analyzed with dimensional analysis techniques. RESULTS With ...

A fundamental problem in spoken language is the duality between the continuous aspects of phonetic performance and the discrete aspects of phonological competence. We study two instances of this problem from the phenomenon of voicing neutralization and vowel harmony. In each case, we present a model where the experimentally observed continuous distinctions are linked to the discreteness of phon...

A probabilistic approach for investigating the phenomena of dissonance and consonance in a simple auditory sensory model, composed by two sensory neurons and one interneuron, is presented. We calculated the interneuron’s firing statistics, that is the interspike interval statistics of the spike train at the output of the interneuron, for consonant and dissonant inputs in the presence of additio...

Business–IT alignment and misalignment are duality-like concepts referring to the harmony or disharmony between business and IT. The state between these two areas can be viewed either through its presence (a.k.a. alignment) or through its absence or difficulties (a.k.a. misalignment). Most of alignment studies deal with alignment achievement, while misalignment issues (detecting, analysing and ...
