the morphology of the adults, egg, larva and pupa of anopheles persiensis linton, sedaghat & harbach, an iranian member of the holarctic maculipennis group, was studied and compared with the morphology of the closely related and sympatric a. maculipennis meigen. anopheles persiensis was formally recognized based on dna evidence and egg morphology. the fourth member of the group, anopheles persi...

This paper first introduces a parametric model for the generation of stationary random correlated binary sequences. The parameters of the model include the probability that a pixel is a binary one pixel and the length of the structuring element which dilates the initially spatially uncorrelated sequence. The spatial statistics of such eroded, dilated, opened and closed correlated binary sequenc...

In the words in (1a), we recognize a verbal base (dance, fight, sing, walk) followed by the suffix -er, and a corresponding systematic meaning pattern ‘one who Vs’, where V stands for the meaning of the verb. This recognition is based on a systematic form difference between the words in (1a) and those in (1b) that correlates with a systematic meaning difference: the words in (1a) have the addit...

A formalism for the description of a system of formal morphology for flexive and agglutinative languages (such as C3ech) is presented, borrowing some notions and the style from the theory of formal languages. Some examples (for Czech adjectives) are presented at the end of the paper. In these examples, the formalism's rules are used for the phonology-based changes as well, but nothing prevents ...

Optimal morphology (OM) is a finite state formalism tha t unifies concepts from Optimality Theory (OT, Prince ~: Smolensky, 1993) and Declarative Phonology (DP, Scobbie, Coleman Bird, 1996) to describe morphophonological alternations in inflectional morphology. Candidate sets are formalized by inviolable lexical constraints which map abstract morpheme signatures to allomorphs. Phonology is impl...

We present a notation for the declarative statement of morphological relationships and lexieal rules, based on the traditional notion of Word and Paradigm (cf Hockett 1954). The phenomenon of blocking arises from a generalized version of Kiparsky's (1973) Elsewhere Condition, stated in terms of ordering by subsumption over paradigms. Orthographic constraints on morphemic alternation are describ...

the main objective of this case report is to present a rare root canal configuration of maxillary molar with seven root canals; three mesiobuccal, two palatal and two distobuccal canals diagnosed during treatment procedure confirmed by spiral computed tomography. a thorough knowledge of root canal morphology, proper clinical and radiographic examination, and use of dental operating microscopes ...

high purity fluorapatite (fa) with rod-like and spherical-like morphology was synthesized via sol-gel method. chemical characterization of fa powders was done by xrd and ftir analyses. crystallite samples were calculated using scherer method. morphology of fa powders was investigated with tem and sem images. the results revealed that increasing the time of hydrolysis of phosphate sols significa...

single-peaked, tuned receptor. After allowing for the above errors, I interpret Hillman's response as a claim that my hierarchical ordering of the tuned receptor as one part of traditional color theory was inappropriate and misleading. Indeed, Hillman says that: "The essence of the PalmerYoung paradigm . . . has nothing to do [italics mine] with the shape or narrowness of these curves." This as...
