We propose a pre-reordering approach for Japanese-to-Chinese statistical machine translation (SMT). The approach uses dependency structure and manually designed reordering rules to arrange morphemes of Japanese sentences into Chinese-like word order, before a baseline phrase-based (PB) SMT system applied. Experimental results on the ASPEC-JC data show that the improvement of the proposed pre-re...

The left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary trunk is a rare congenital anomaly, known as Bland-White-Garland syndrome (BWGS). Most patients with this anomaly of the coronary artery system die during early childhood (Wesslhoeft et al., 1968).

The origin of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) from the pulmonary artery (PA), known as BlandWhite-Garland syndrome (BWGS), is a rare anomaly with mortality of 90% during infancy (1). If collateral circulation between right and left coronary systems ensues, BWGS patients may reach adulthood (1,2). However coronary flow directs preferentially into the lower pressure PA, away from the left ve...
