Researchers in bioelectromagnetics often require realistic tissue, cellular and sub-cellular geometry models for their simulations. However, biological shapes are often extremely irregular, while conventional geometrical modeling tools on the market cannot meet the demand for fast and efficient construction of irregular geometries. We have designed a free, user-friendly tool in MATLAB that comb...

In some languages, gender is a grammatical property of the noun. Grammatical gender identification enhances machine translation of such languages. This paper reports a three staged approach for grammatical gender identification that makes use of word and morphological features only. A Morphological Analyzer is used to extract the morphological features. In stage one, association rule mining is ...

In reports of scientific investigations the terms “sex” and “gender” are frequently used interchangeably in spite of longstanding acceptance that each refers to different qualities of an individual’s sexuality [20]. While sex is generally acknowledged as determined by biological characteristics that, in most cases, reasonably clearly define an individual as “female” or “male” in terms of their ...

Correlates and consequences of newspaper accounts of research on sex differences were examined. In Study 1, articles from high-circulation newspapers were coded for the degree to which biological factors were used to explain sex differences. Results showed that political conservatism and traditional attitudes toward gender roles coded from other newspaper sections predicted greater use of biolo...

Grammatical gender is independent of biological sex for the majority of animal names (e.g., a male giraffe is grammatically treated as feminine). However, there is apparent semantic motivation for grammatical gender classes, especially in mapping human terms to gender classes. This research investigated whether this apparent motivation in mapping between grammar and biological sex affects deduc...

The birth of intersexed infants, babies born with genitals that are neither clearly male nor clearly female, has been documented throughout recorded time.' In the late twentieth century, medical technology has advanced to allow scientists to determine chromosomal and hormonal gender, which is typically taken to be the real, natural, biological gender, usually referred to as "sex."2 Nevertheless...

the transformation of biochemical information into a physical or chemical signal is the basic idea behind a biosensor. the efficient detection of charged biomolecules by biosensor with appropriate device has caught tremendous research interest in the present decade. the present work is related to the simulation study of the performance of a functionalized surface of a biologically sensitive fie...
