Morphological analysis is a very critical issue especially for natural language processing related tasks on agglutinative languages. This study gives the implementation details of a rule-based morphological analyzer of Kazakh language which is an agglutinative language. A detailed computational analysis of Kazakh language morphology such as formalization of alternation and morphotactic rules fo...

Morphology describes how words are formed in a language, for example by adding suffixes or prefixes to existing words. In some languages, this process is very productive, and it is thus important for computational linguistics to be able to handle this. The purpose of a morphological parser is to extract information from the morphological structure of a word. In this paper, we examine this probl...

An extended, revised form of Tim Buckwalter’s Arabic lexical and morphological resource AraMorph, eXtended Revised AraMorph (henceforth XRAM), is presented which addresses a number of weaknesses and inconsistencies of the original model by allowing a wider coverage of real-world Classical and contemporary (both formal and informal) Arabic texts. Building upon previous research, XRAM enhancement...

The aim of this study was to observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on chronic morphine-induced neuronal morphological changes in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in rats at electron-microscopic level. Fourteen days of administering escalating doses of morphine induced pathological morphological changes of neurons in the VTA: the rough endoplasmic reticulum swelled, membrane configuratio...

A morphological analyzer forms the foundation for many NLP applications of Indian Languages. In this paper, we propose and evaluate the morphological analyzer for Marathi, an inflectional language. The morphological analyzer exploits the efficiency and flexibility offered by finite state machines in modeling the morphotactics while using the well devised system of paradigms to handle the stem a...

We analyzed the morphological variation of short tailless bats, Anoura, from Colombia in order to determine their phylogenetic affinities and to define their geographic structure. Our analysis confirmed the presence of A. caudifer aequatoris (Lönnberg 1921) as well as A. luismanueli (Molinari 1994) in Colombia and delimited their distributions in the country. Based on morphological and distribu...

Despite the relative simplicity of their modular growth, marine invertebrates such as arborescent gorgonian octocorals (Octocorallia: Cnidaria) generate complex colonial forms. Colony form in these taxa is a consequence of modular (polyp) replication, and if there is a tight integration among modular and supramodular traits (e.g. polyp aperture, inter-polyp spacing, branch thickness, internode ...

This paper presents a morphological classifier with application to color image segmentation. The basic idea of a morphological classifier is to consider a color histogram as a 3-D gray-level image, so that morphological operators can be applied to it. The final objective is to extract clusters in color space, that is, identify regions in the 3-D image. In this paper, we particularly focus on a ...

The relationship between morphological changes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa following antibiotic treatment of experimental infection in mice, susceptibility to phagocytosis, and release of endotoxin was studied. The intraperitoneal administration of P. aeruginosa with imipenem or ceftazidime into mice induced morphological changes in the cells 2 h after injection. Round P. aeruginosa cells with im...
