In recent years, numerous attempts have been devoted to derive Context Free Grammars (CFGs) by using a large corpus. In this paper, we describe a method to extract a Probabilistic Context Free Grammar (PCFG) of Japanese from a bracketed corpus, and propose two methods to improve it. The experiments show that the extracted PCFG has a 94 % accept rate, 85 % brackets recall and 75 % brackets preci...

an 8-year-old female japanese spitz dog was reffered to shiraz university veterinary clinic, with signof anisocoria. clinical examinations revealed mydriasis in the right eye. ocular examination revealed adilated and unresponsive right pupil to focal illumination. by testing with topical 2% pilocarpine, thetentative diagnosis was parasympathetic denervation of the right iris sphincter muscle—pu...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of artichoke powder on performance and immune function of japanese quails poisoned with carbon tetrachloride (ccl4). one hundred meat type (1-d-old) quails were assigned randomly to 4 treatment groups (n=25). treatment groups included with the study were: 1) control group (without artichoke supplementation or ccl4 administration, 2) group with...

this study evaluated the effects of artichoke leaf powder on growth performance and physicochemical properties of japanese quailfrozen meat after 3 monthstorage. a total of 240 japanese quail chicks (1 d old) were raised over a 42-d experimental period. the experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with 4 replicates of 15 quails in each, using a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement with...

The present study aims to explore the differences between the interaction styles of Japanese men and women. The study specifically examines three interactional patterns as seen in a Japanese talk/variety show: interruptions, reactions to interruptions, and backchannels. The data are analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. In the quantitative analysis, interruptions, reactions to interru...

We propose an approach to Japanese predicate argument structure analysis exploiting argument position and type. In particular, we propose the following two methods. First, in order to use information in the sentences in preceding context of the predicate more effectively, we propose an improved similarity measure between argument positions which is more robust than a previous co-reference-based...

Abstract Previous work on colour lexicons focussed universal patterns in their structure and evolution. We collected new naming data Japanese three under-described Ryukyuan languages (Amami, Miyako Yaeyama) to investigate semantic variation change the lexicon of related a modern context. found several terms (e.g., midori guriin for ‘green’) speakers, apparently resulting from contact with Stand...

an experiment was conducted to study the effect of metabolizable energy (me) and protein of japanese quails diets on offspring performance and antibody production against sheep red blood cell (srbc). a total of 432 japanese quails (13 week-old) were divided into nine treatments. each treatment comprised four replicates of twelve birds (9 female and 3 male). nine diets including three levels of ...
