This paper presents a word support model (WSM). The WSM can effectively perform homophone selection and syllable-word segmentation to improve Chinese input systems. The experimental results show that: (1) the WSM is able to achieve tonal (syllables input with four tones) and toneless (syllables input without four tones) syllable-to-word (STW) accuracies of 99% and 92%, respectively, among the c...

The use of secondary treated wastewater (STW) for irrigation is considered as a strategy to mitigate water shortage in summer periods. Unfortunately, the utilization STW agriculture not exempt from environmental and health risks, being potential source toxic chemicals (e.g. heavy metals) human pathogens Salmonella spp. Escherichia coli). aim this work verify whether apple nectarine trees with m...

INTRODUCTION The foot changes with age from wide and short in neonates to intermediate in teenagers. OBJECTIVE To describe changes in mean length and width of the foot during fast and slow phases of growth between the age of 4 and 18 years in the female and male population. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was done in 9804 girls and 8699 boys aged 4 to 18 years, randomly selected from kinderg...

BACKGROUND Herbal preparations like STW 5 (Iberogast) are widely used drugs in the treatment of dyspepsia and motility-related disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. STW 5 is a phytotherapeutic agent consisting of a fixed mixture of 9 individual plant extracts. The electrophysiological mechanisms of action of STW 5 remain obscure. AIM The aim of the present study was to investigate whether ...

Batiaghata Upazila, Khulna District in south-west coastal region of Bangladesh is the mostly saline affected area, where agriculture activities are mainly dependent on rainfall. 23 water samples from surface water and shallow tube well (STW) were collected in the monsoon season and analyzed for physico-chemical properties to classify them according to salinity hazard. Electrical Conductivity (E...

We sought to examine the possible participation of dopaminergic receptors in the phasic events that occur during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, known as sawtooth waves (STW). These phasic phenomena of REM sleep exhibit a unique morphology and, although they represent a characteristic feature of REM sleep, little is known about the mechanisms which generate them and which are apparently differe...

Corn processing streams are characterized by high water content. Removal of water and recovery of solids are major economic and logistical challenges. New technologies are needed to modify processing streams and to reduce variability and improve quality of coproducts. The objective was to determine the effectiveness of microfiltration and ultrafiltration systems in altering water, solids (prote...

The work in this thesis was carried out in the context of the Artemisia project supported by PROGRESS/STW.

Loess geological tunnels are characterized by weak structure and poor self-stability of surrounding rock, so effectively controlling the excavation face distances different caverns is great significance for guiding safe construction large-section tunnels. Based on loess tunnel from Xi’an Metro Line 4, optimal distance determined based Midas numerical model. Then, surface settlement horizontal d...
