Palmer ([4]) demonstrated how Brill's Transformation-based Error-Driven Learning can be applied to word segmentation in various languages. We present experimental results which show that such algorithms can achieve satisfactory performance even with a a very dimple initial state annotator We also present two preliminary studies, which suggest that even higher performance might be achieved if si...

Focusing electromagnetic energy to subwavelength dimensions has become an increasingly active field of research for a variety of applications such as heat-assisted magnetic recording, nanolithography, and nanoscale optical characterization of biological cells and single molecules using the near-field scanning optical microscopy technique. Double-sided surface plasmons in a metal-insulator-metal...

The Case Presentation can be found on page 768. DISCUSSION Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA, Morquio A syndrome, OMIM#253000) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS, E.C.3.1.6.4). GALNS catalyzes the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin 6-sulfate (C6S),...

Background: Sacral pit is a shallow or deep dimple in the lower sacral region, with a reported prevalence of 3-5% among newborns. The aim of the present study was to investigate spinal cord abnormalities in newborns with sacral pit via ultrasound examinations. Methods: In this descriptive study, 3071 infants born at 34-42 weeks of gestation were studied in hospitals affiliated to Islamic Azad U...

Dermal sinuses are well-characterized lesions (1-3). A patient with a dermal sinus frequently has a hairy nevus or dimple overlying the tract. Yet, despite having this cutaneous marker, these patients often seek medical attention only after they suffer an infectious complication of the tract. Although infection most commonly will occur in the form of a cutaneous abscess, another more serious an...

Abstract Phase-change materials (PCMs) have a remarkable potential for use as efficient energy storage means. However, their poor response rates during and retrieval modes require the of heat transfer enhancers to combat these limitations. This research marks first attempt explore dimple-shaped fins enhancement PCM thermal in shell-and-tube casing. Fin arrays with different dimensions diverse d...
