Dutch children’s acquisition of morpho-phonological alternations in plural formation

Stimuli • 4 bi-morphemic words with /t/: petten /pEt n/ 'caps' • 4 bi-morphemic words with /d/: bedden /bEd n/ 'beds' • 4 mono-morphemic words with /t/: water /wAt r/ 'water' • 4 mono-morphemic words with /d/: ridder /rId r/ 'knight' ABSTRACT In Dutch, word final neutralization of voicing causes an alternation between singulars and plurals: e.g. one [bEt] 'bed' ~ two [bEd n] 'beds'. Dutch-learning children were tested on their production of /t/ and /d/ in different morphological contexts. Children tended to produce /d/ as [t] in bi-morphemic words (e.g. [bEt n]), whereas they correctly produced /d/ in mono-morphemic words (e.g. [rIder] 'knight'). Children were also more accurate at positing singulars for novel plurals with /t/ (e.g. slAt n) than for novel plurals with /d/ (e.g. slAd n). This finding suggests that 3 yr-olds have not yet learned about the phonotactics of voicing neutralization in relation to morpho-phonological alternations.
The Computational Beauty of Nature: Computer Explorations of Fractals, Chaos, Complex Systems and Adaptation

As the author of The Computational Beauty of Nature (hereafter, abbreviated as CBN) I am grateful for both the complimentary remarks as well as the thoughtful criticisms made by Melanie Moses, Stephanie Forrest, and Martin Berzins. As Moses and Forrest point out, CBN contains many of my intellectual biases and enthusiasms and, as a result, it undoubtedly contains imperfections related to my subjective view of science, mathematics, and philosophy. That said, I am delighted that the two reviews in this issue agree in positive aspects as much as they do. However, the two reviews do differ in some key aspects, which will be the focus of my response. I purposely designed CBN so that it could be read in multiple ways so as to suit the needs of different readers. As described in the preface, the first method of reading CBN would exploit the relatively self-contained and independent nature of the chapters, allowing the reader to skip around and pursue only those parts that look immediately appealing. A second method would use a more linear approach, working through the five parts in succession, so as to best appreciate the connections made between computation, fractals, chaos, complex systems, and adaptation. And still, a third reading would focus on the overall pattern that ties the five book parts into a single theme, as put forth in the preface, five “Postscript” chapters, and the epilogue. As I wrote in CBN’s preface:
Comparaison des scores d'évaluation du risque hémorragique HAS BLED et HEMORR2HAGES chez des patients âgés et fragiles en fibrillation atriale hospitalisés en unité de gériatrie post-urgences

INTRODUCTION : La fibrillation atriale est une pathologie frequente dont la prevalence augmente avec l'âge. Elle necessite la mise sous traitement antithrombotique dans la majorite des cas. Ce type de traitement entraine une augmentation du risque hemorragique evaluee par les scores HAS BLED et HEMORR2HAGES. Ces scores sont valides sur des populations jeunes. L'objectif principal de cette etude est de comparer ces deux scores a 14 mois chez des patients âges et fragiles en FA apres une hospitalisation dans une unite de geriatrie aigue posturgences. METHODE : Il s'agissait d'une etude descriptive retrospective realisee au CHU Saint Andre de Bordeaux du 1er janvier 2011 au 31 decembre 2011. Les medecins traitants ou des EHPAD etaient contactes 14 mois apres la sortie des patients pour realiser un questionnaire. RESULTATS : 166 patients ont ete inclus. La moyenne d'âge etait de 88,8 ans en majorite des femmes (68,7%). Les criteres d'evaluation geriatrique moyens etaient pour le MMSE a 18,6, les ADL a 2,5, le CIRS-G a 19,7. Le Get-up and go test inferieur a 20 secondes chez 7,8% des patients. 66,3% vivait au domicile. A l'inclusion, 53,6% etaient sous antiagregants et 35,1 % sous AVK avec un INR moyen a 3,26. A 14 mois, 27 (16,3%) accidents hemorragiques on ete observes. 7,9% des deces etait dus a une hemorragie. HEMORR2HAGES etait plus utile pour predire un saignement dans notre population (p=0,07). Pour l'HAS BLED, la sensibilite etait de 0,296 et la specificite de 0,698 avec un rapport de vraisemblance de 0,98. Pour l'HEMORR2HAGES, la sensibilite etait de 0,667, la specificite de 0,554 et le rapport de vraisemblance positif de 1,50. L'âge (p=0,02) et les INR labiles (p < 0,001) etaient des facteurs de predictifs de saignement. Il n'y avait pas de difference entre les deux groupes en ce qui concerne les criteres d'evaluation geriatrique. CONCLUSION : Cette etude montre que l'HEMORR2HAGES semble plus utile pour predire le risque de survenue d'un saignement chez des patients âges et fragiles. Cette population ne presente pas un risque accru de saignement malgre les criteres de fragilite retrouves. Une evaluation rigoureuse de ces scores devrait etre realisee avec l'arrivee de nouveaux anticoagulants oraux directs.

Pulmonary Nodule Classification in Computed Tomography Image Using a 3D Deep Convolutional Neural Network

Early detection and examination of pulmonary nodules is the most effective ways to prevent lung cancer, accounting for more than a quarter of all cancer deaths. In this paper, we propose a 3D deep convolutional neural network for pulmonary nodule recognition. We use deep convolutional neural network that uses shortcut connections and the ensemble method is used to boost recognition performance. Proposed models are trained and tested on Lung Nodule Analysis 2016 competition dataset. We evaluate performance of models and verify preciseness. Proposed model produces 0.899 of Competition Performance Metric value, that is evaluation criteria of competition. It is outperforming value than that of other participants.
Simulation studies of broadband wireless systems employing code combining techniques

ATM is establishing itself as a universal standard and applications of constant length packet based communications are foreseen in the wireless environment as well. Antenna diversity techniques operating on a packet basis combined with coding are suggested as a means to improve the reliability of wireless connections and allow the extension of ATM-related protocols to the wireless domain. The comparative performance of a number of packet based diversity techniques employing punctured convolutional coding and block interleaving is evaluated. Results were obtained for post-Viterbi-decoding selection diversity and code-diversity combining for AWGN and Rayleigh fading radio channel models. Code combining using a type-II protocol on a Rayleigh fading channel was also examined. The results indicate the amount of interleaving required in a bursty channel for a code combining approach to surpass a post-detection selection diversity technique at various code rates.
Recognition of Changes in SAR Images using Modified MRF Energy Function in FCM

-In this world of rapid improvement in technology, we require an unsupervised method of global importance which would help us in continuous monitor of the available resources. So that we can use it more wisely to monitor the location of the resources over the time. In this paper we provide an contemporary approach to supervise the feasible resources using unsupervised detection in changes of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Which is based on an image fusion method which includes novel fuzzy clustering mean, fuzzy local information clustering mean, reformulated fuzzy local information clustering mean, Markov random field algorithms. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images which is usually high in speckle noise. So Speckle reducing anisotropic diffusion filter is used to minimize effect of speckle noise. Image fusion method is used to generate a changed and unchanged region of SAR images using reciprocal information from a mean-ratio image and a log-ratio image.
Speeding up Subgraph Isomorphism Search in Large Graphs

Graph is a widely used model to represent complicated data in many domains. Finding subgraph isomorphism is a fundamental function for many graph databases and data mining applications handling graph data. This thesis studies this classic problem by considering a set of novel techniques from three different aspects. This thesis first considers speeding up subgraph isomorphism search by exploiting relationships among data vertices. Most of the subgraph isomorphism algorithms of the In-Memory model (IM) are based on a backtracking method which computes the solutions by incrementally enumerating all candidate combinations. We observed that all current algorithms blindly verify each individual mapping separately, often leading to extensive duplicate calculations. We propose two novel concepts, Syntactic Equivalence and Query Dependent Equivalence, by using which we group specific candidate data vertices into a hypervertex. The data vertices belonging to the same hypervertex can be mapped to the same query vertex. Thus, all the vertices falling into the same hypervertex can be determined whether to contribute to a solution simultaneously instead of calculating them separately. Our extensive experimental study on real datasets shows that existing subgraph isomorphism algorithms can be significantly boosted by our approach. Secondly, this thesis considers multi-query optimization where multiple queries are processed together so as to reduce the overall processing time. We propose a novel method for efficiently detecting useful common subgraphs and a data structure to organize them. We propose a heuristic algorithm based on the data structure to compute a query execution order so that cached intermediate results can be effectively utilized. To balance memory usage and the time for cached results retrieval, we present a novel structure for caching the intermediate results. We provide strategies to revise existing single-query subgraph isomorphism algorithms to seamlessly utilize the cached results, which leads to significant performance improvement. Experiments over real datasets proved the effectiveness and efficiency of our multi-query optimization approach. In the third part, this thesis considers the subgraph isomorphism search under distributed environments. We observed that current state-of-the-art distributed solutions either rely on crippling joins or cumbersome indices, which leads those solutions hard to be practically used. Moreover, most of them follow the synchronous model whose performance is often bottlenecked by the machine with the worst performance in the cluster. Motivated by this, in this thesis, we utilize a dramatically different approach and propose PADS , a Practical Asynchronous Distributed Subgraph enumeration system. We conducted extensive experiments to evaluate the performance of Pads. Compared with existing join-oriented solution, our system not only shows significant superiority in terms of query processing efficiency but also has outstanding practicality. Even compared with heavy indexed solution, our approach also has better performance in many cases.

Divergences interlinguistiques dans le dictionnaire multilingue Papillon

The Papillon project aims at building a multilingual pivot dictionary by voluntary contributors in collaboration on the Internet. The data obtained is then publicly available. The macrostructure of the dictionary is composed by a monolingual volume for each language and a pivot volume which links the monolingual entries hrough interlingual links. The microstructure is based on the combinatory and explanatory lexicography, thus fairly rich and very detailed. We discuss here about how to solve the problems raised by the divergence of the predicates' argument structures in a multilingual context. If the entry is a predicate, the semantic formula describing the entry will represent this predicate. However, the number and the position of the arguments may vary a lot among languages. For example, there is a position shift in the arguments between the English predicate "X1 miss Y1" and its French equivalent "X2 manque a Y2" with X1=Y2 and Y1=X2. We propose a way to note this divergence in order to translate structures correctly.

A NOVEL PROPOSAL SCHEME STANDARDIZE WITH USER BEHAVIORS

Our evaluation of engage four physical world texts founded that corporation and ratings were reciprocal to one and all, and both momentous for other strict sanctions. Computational convolution of Trusts determined its power of scaling essentially substantial data set. An opinion of communal group data from four natural world data set shows that not just the special but the contained shape of both ratings and corporation need be studied center an order wear. One achievable report is kernel that the above-mentioned care-based sculpts fixate an exorbitant in the direction of almost the practicality of user care but disobey the arouse of item ratings themselves. The arouse perhaps definite or unshakable. We notify Trusts, an institution-based grid factorization way of sanctions. Trusts thence build on the top of the condition-of-the-art support description, BSM, by hasten incorporating both exact and unshakable shape of dependable and trust users everywhere the hunch of products to have a dynamic user. The proposed policy is the originally one to enhance BSM with societal group information.
Influence of exercise order on the number of repetitions in untrained teenagers.

Introduction: Prescription of resistance training (RT) is increasing among teenagers, requiring further studies to investigate the effects on this population. Objective: To examine the different orders on exercises sequence and its influence on the number of repetitions in teenager. Methods: Participated in the study 12 voluntarily male teenagers (14.91 ± 0.79 years, 1.69 ± 8.61 cm, 62.24 ± 7.26 kg) without experience in RT. After 48 hours of the last session of 10 repetitions maximum (10RM) test, subjects performed one of the four sequences of exercises in a counterbalanced crossover design. Four different sequences were also performed with a interval of 48 hours. All sequences were three sets of each exercise with 10RM load, with two-minute intervals between sets and exercises. The order of exercises was the sequence 1: bench press (BP), pulldown (PD), machine shoulder press (SP), biceps curl (BC) and triceps (TR); Sequence 2: TR, BC, SP, PD and BP; the sequence 3: Leg press (LP), leg extension (LE) and leg curl (LC); Sequence 4: LC, LE and LP. Results: Significant differences were observed (p <0.05) in the total number of repetitions for the BP exercises, SP, BC and TR for the sequence of the upper limbs and for the lower limbs and the LP and LE exercises. Conclusion: The results suggest that the performance of the average number of repetitions for sessions conducted with RT intensity of 10RM in teenagers was influenced by the different kind of exercises in both upper and lower limbs.
Transitions in care homes: towards relationship‐centred care using the ‘Senses Framework’

Long‐term care in general, and care homes in particular, have never enjoyed high status as a place to live and work. This remains the case. In large part this marginalised position is due to the continued failure to value the contribution that care homes make to supporting frail and vulnerable older people. In order to promote a more positive vision of what can be achieved in care homes, this paper argues for the adoption of a relationship‐centred approach to care. The need for such a model is described, and how it might be applied using the ‘Senses Framework’ is considered. It is argued that adopting such a philosophy will provide a clearer sense of therapeutic direction for staff working in care homes, as well as more explicitly recognising the contribution that residents and relatives can make to creating an ‘enriched environment’ of care.
Small numbers and numerical interaction : the building blocks of early numerical competencies?

The accuracy and speed in an enumeration task were investigated in adolescents with typical and atypically poor development of arithmetic skills. The number naming performances on small and large nonsymbolic numerosities of 18 adolescents with mathematical learning disorders (MLDs) and 28 typically achieving age-matched adolescents were compared. A mixed logistic regression model showed that adolescents with MLD were not significantly less accurate on numerosities within the subitizing range than control peers. Moreover, no significant differences in reaction times were found between both groups. Nevertheless, we found that within the control group adolescents with higher ability tended to respond faster when taking into account the whole range (1-9) of numerosities. This correlation was much weaker in the MLD group. When looking more closely at the data, however, it became clear that the correlation between accuracy and speed within the control group differed in direction depending on the range (subitizing or counting) of the numerosities. As such, our findings did not support an impaired ability of subitzing in MLD. However, the data stressed a different correlation between speed and accuracy for both groups of adolescents and a different behavioral pattern depending on the numerosity range as well. Implications for the understanding and approach of MLD are considered. 1 Based on Ceulemans, A. , Titeca, D. , Loeys, T. , Hoppenbrouwers, K. , Rousseau, S. , & Desoete, A. (2014). Enumeration of small and large numerosities in adolescents with mathematical learning disorders.

Maternal work hours and adolescents’ body weight in South Korea

ABSTRACT This study examined whether previous findings linking maternal work hours to obesity among children generalised to Asian populations. Using a nationally representative sample of Korean middle school students and their parents (N = 1,873), ordinary least squares regression and logistic regression models assessed the association between maternal work hours and adolescents’ body mass index (BMI), overweight, and obesity. There were no significant associations between mothers’ weekly work hours and adolescents’ BMI (raw score, z-score, and percentile), overweight and obesity. These null associations were robust across different specifications for maternal employment, the proposed mediators, and outcome variables. Although longer maternal work hours were associated with adolescents’ longer unsupervised time, more sedentary behaviours (TV/Video/DVD viewing and electronic game playing), and less physical activity, this did not lead to an increase in the likelihood of being overweight and obese.
Comparison of quality of life in patients with advanced ovarian cancer treatedwith intravenous paclitaxel and carboplatin versus cyclophosphamide andcisplatin as first line chemotherapy - a preliminary report

I n t r o d u c t i o n. Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common gynecological malignancy in Poland (after breasr cancer, lung cancer and cercical cancer) and the second leading cause of death from gynecological malignancy (after cervical cacer). An objective response to cytotoxic chemotherapy occurs in the majority of individuals with cancers of the ovary. M a t e r i a l a n d m e t h o d s. 54 patients (of 215), who were treated in our clinic between January 2000 and March 2001 were included in the study. Eligibility criteria were: 1) histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanved ovarian cancer, 2) primary cytoreductive surgery, 3) Karnofsky performance status 70% and cognitive abilities allowing for filling in the questionnaire. Quality of life was measured using EORTC-C30 (version 3.0) questionnaire. Re s u l t s. Higher score of nausea and vomiting was observed in the group of patients treated with PC regimen, as compared to paclitaxel and carboplatin. However, those patients had significantly better social functioning. Cyclophosphamide and cisplatin more often caused dyspnoea, sleeping and appetite problems. PC regimen affected cognitive functioning and role functioning less, as compared to paclitaxel and carboplatin. There was no significant difference in general functioning between the two groups. C o n c l u s i o n s. Global quality of life in patients treated with paclitaxel/carboplatin was the same as in patients treated with PC regimen. Higher scores in symptom and single-item scale were observed in patients treated with the PC regimen. Paclitaxel/carboplatin regimen influenced the quality of life more in the functional scale. In order to obtain objective assessment of the quality of life larger population study is necessary.
