The fact that 85% of the Portuguese lexicon contains Spanish cognates and that the linguistic structures of both languages are highly coincident is believed to be an advantage for the Spanish speaker who learns Portuguese. However, these similarities have some negative aspects in the learning of Portuguese, such as, the pitfall of false friends, since about 20% of cognates are false. The aim of...

The study of Portuguese fricatives is a complex problem, which has not been explored fully. As part of a larger study of the acoustic properties of Portuguese fricatives, corpora of Portuguese words containing /f, v, s, z, A, O/, nonsense words with Portuguese phonology, and sustained Portuguese fricatives have been recorded and analysed. Results show that more than half of the voiced fricative...

We analyze two designs for W-Band free electron lasers for application as laboratory instruments in the study of millimeter wave accelerators at high gradient. The first design is based on the linear induction accelerator LELIA (CEA/CESTA, France), employs a 1kA, 80-ns electron pulse, and corresponds to a helical TE11 200MW W-Band amplifier design. We analyze also a W-Band planar ubitron design...

The objective of this study was to test the inter-rater reproducibility of the Portuguese version of the PEDro Scale. Seven physiotherapists rated the methodological quality of 50 reports of randomized controlled trials written in Portuguese indexed on the PEDro database. Each report was also rated using the English version of the PEDro Scale. Reproducibility was evaluated by comparing two sepa...

Background Brazil is a country of Portuguese colonization with massive numbers of immigrants and Portuguese descendants (25 millions). At least half of all Brazilian Y chromosomes are from Portuguese origin. Nevertheless, this population suffered miscegenation with native Indians and African descendants. African descendants Brazilians have 48% of non-African genes, probably from Portuguese asce...

In this article we describe the creation and distribution of the first publicly available word embeddings for Portuguese. Our embeddings are evaluated on their own and also compared with the original English models on a well-known analogy task. We gathered a large Portuguese corpus of 1.7 billion tokens, developed the first distributional semantic analogies test set for Portuguese, and proceede...

Based on the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Middle English[1], the Tycho Brahe Parsed Corpus of Historical Portuguese[2] consists of an electronic annotated corpus composed of prose, originally written in Portuguese by native speakers of European Portuguese (henceforth EP) born between the 16th and 19th centuries. The present annotation system to be applied to Portuguese has been developed in t...
