چکیده

In this paper we describe a conversion of the Buckwalter Morphological Analyzer for Arabic, originally written as a Perl-script, into a pure finite-state morphological analyzer. Representing a morphological analyzer as a finite-state transducer (FST) confers many advantages over running a procedural affix-matching algorithm. Apart from application speed, an FST representation immediately offers various possibilities to flexibly modify a grammar. In the case of Arabic, this is illustrated through the addition of the ability to correctly parse partially vocalized forms without overgeneration, something not possible in the original analyzer, as well as to serve both as an analyzer and a generator.

The Role of Ethanol, Methyltriphenylphosphonium Bromide and Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide as Directing Agents in Hydrothermal Synthesis of Aluminosilicate Molecular Sieve (ZSM-5) and Its Morphologies

Zeolite ZSM-5 presents a great source of interest in catalysis because of its shape selective properties. The absence of a relationship between the template size and shape of the structure generated during the synthesis of zeolites is illustrated by the case of ZSM-5. In this study, we have investigated the role of ethanol, methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (MTPBr) and cetyltrimethylammonium b...

Investigation on the ordering of titanium oxide nanotubes fabricated by anodization on different substrate surface morphologies

In this study, titanium oxide nanotubes anodized on threedifferent surface morphologies of titanium foils, were investigated. AFM imagesis used to show different surface roughness of these foils. Nanotubes wereanodized on titanium foils with 1) no polishing process (A sample), 2)electropolishing process (B sample) and 3) electropolishing process in ethanolicelectrolyte (C sample). To study the ...

Developing a Tool for Analysing and Generating the fittest Urban Morphology based on Sky View Factor and Insolation: With a Case Study on Yazd

Urban morphology, including buildings’ typology and their configuration, affects sky view factor and insolation, which are two of the most influential parameters in urban microclimate. These become even more important in extreme environmental conditions. In this research, challenge was to generate various rule based urban morphologies in a parametric environment. Then, to evaluate them based on...

AN INVESTIGATION TO BAINITE FORMATION MORPHOLOGIES IN NI-CR BEARING LOW CARBON STEELS THROUGH THERMOMECHANICAL PROCESSING

The presence of bainite in the microstructure of steels to obtain a proper combination of strength and toughness has always been desired. The previous works however have shown that the presence of preferred bainite morphologies in the microstructure of any steel would not be readily accessible. In addition, the appearance of different bainite morphologies in the microstructure of any steel is d...
