BACKGROUND Adolescence is an important period with rapid physical growth transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Distorted body image can result in eating disorders or inadequate nutrient intakes in adolescence. Limited research has been done with high school boys in both Korea and China. OBJECTIVES To examine body image, weight control behaviors, nutritional knowledge, and dietary habits ...

We propose a Chinese dependency tree reordering method for Chinese-to-Korean SMT systems through analyzing systematic differences between the Chinese and Korean languages. Translating predicate-predicate patterns in Chinese into Korean raises various issues such as long-distance reordering. This paper concentrates on syntactic reordering of predicate-predicate patterns in Chinese dependency tre...

Population-specific brain templates that provide detailed brain information are beneficial to both structural and functional neuroimaging research. However, age-specific MRI templates have not been constructed for Chinese or any Asian developmental populations. This study developed novel T1-weighted average brain and head templates for Chinese children from 7 to 16 years of age in two-year incr...

Chinese and Korean belong to different language families in terms of word-order and morphological typology. Chinese is an SVO and morphologically poor language while Korean is an SOV and morphologically rich one. In Chinese-to-Korean SMT systems, systematic differences between the verbal systems of the two languages make the generation of Korean verbal phrases difficult. To resolve the difficul...

The Chinese government launched the “going abroad” policy in 2001 to encourage Chinese companies to invest and create Chinese brands in international markets. However, the perceptions of Chinese brands among Western consumers have been shown to be consistently low, especially amongst European consumers. This research aims to investigate the Irish consumers’ perception of Chinese brands and how ...

PURPOSE This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of tinidazole in subjects of five different Chinese nationalities (Han, Mongolian, Korean, Hui, and Uighur). METHODS Fifty healthy subjects (five male and five female of each nationality) were recruited for the study, and each received 1 g tinidazole. A total of 14 blood samples were collected over a 72-hour period after administration. R...

BACKGROUND Gestational choriocarcinoma is the most common gestational trophoblastic neoplasia; it is often secondary to hydatidiform mole, as well as to abortion, ectopic pregnancy, premature delivery, or term delivery. Approximately 60% of patients with choriocarcinoma develop pulmonary metastases, but for patients with a respiratory condition, choriocarcinoma with lung metastasis is a relativ...

Named entity (NE) translation plays an important role in many applications. In this paper, we focus on translating NEs from Korean to Chinese to improve Korean-Chinese cross-language information retrieval (KCIR). The ideographic nature of Chinese makes NE translation difficult because one syllable may map to several Chinese characters. We propose a hybrid NE translation system. First, we integr...

In this paper we propose a method that imitates a translation expert using the Korean translation information and analyse the performance. Korean is good at tagging than Chinese, so we can use this property in Chinese POS tagging. Keyword : machine translation, part of speech tagging, corpus Introduction Previous POS(Part Of Speech) tagging methods of Chinese can be largely classified into 2. O...

In NTCIR-4 we participated in Korean, Chinese, English monolingual, Chinese-English, EnglishKorean bilingual, and Chinese-Korean cross language (using English as pivot) retrieval tasks based on our PIRCS retrieval system. The query translation approach was employed for CLIR. We combined two MT translations for Chinese-English, and two for English-Korean. For the latter, a webbased entity-orient...
