Koskenniemi's model of two-level morphology has been very influential in recent years, but definitions of the formalism have generally been phrased in terms of a compilation (sometimes left unspecified) into a form of finite-state transducers, or else have consisted of an informal outline of the intended interpretation of the rule-formalism itself. Analyses of the properties of the formalism ha...

Morphological Computation is a concept used in robotics that sees physical bodies of robots as means to carry out computations that are relevant for their successful interaction with the environment. It is inspired by observations in nature where we can see that the morphology (i.e. the shape as well the dynamic properties of the body) of biological systems is playing a crucial role for the eme...

Knowing of the level of carotid artery bifurcation (CB) is important for vascular surgery in the neck, radical neck dissections, carotid sinus baroreceptor stimulation, catheterisations, and aneurysms. The aim of this study was to determine the CB level in relation with the cervical vertebral levels, compare them on the right and the left sides, and investigate the relation of CB level with the...

in order to investigation of morphological traits, yield and its components in three cultivars of grain sorghum (kimia, sepideh, payam) and two promising lines (m5, m2) under four density (240000, 205000, 170000 and 135000 plant/m2), experiment was conducted as factorial design based on randomized complete block design with three replications in birjand agricultural research station, during 200...

This work examines the role of the stage-level (SL)/individual-level (IL) distinction applied to nouns in a case of morphosyntactic regularization in Spanish: variable reanalysis of the NP argument as subject in the presentational haber construction (había/habían perros). We conduct variationist, quantitative analyses on all instances of existential haber with a plural NP in corpora of spoken P...

Social media texts are often written in a non-standard style and include many lexical variants such as insertions, phonetic substitutions, abbreviations that mimic spoken language. The normalization of such a variety of non-standard tokens is one promising solution for handling noisy text. A normalization task is very difficult to conduct in Japanese morphological analysis because there are no ...
