INTRODUCTION We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with mental retardation and dysmorphic features referred to child psychiatry because of altered behavior at school. MATERIAL AND METHODS Karyotyping (GTG banding), in situ fluorescent hybridization (FISH) and molecular study of parental origin by polymorphic STS were performed. RESULTS Genetic study revealed a 48,XXXX karyotype with a ma...

background: regulatory t cells (t-regs) have an important role in cancer by suppression of protective antitumor immune responses. regulatory t cells express the forkhead/winged helix transcription factor (foxp3) and ox40 molecules which have important regulatory roles in the immune system. objective: to evaluate foxp3 and ox40 transcripts in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of women with ...

This paper describes a framework that extends automatic speech transcripts in order to accommodate relevant information coming from manual transcripts, the signal itself, and other resources, like lexica. The proposed automatically collects, relates, computes, stores all together self-contained data source, making it possible easily provide wide range of interconnected suitable for analysis, tr...

The aim of this study is to investigate the use of the linguistic information present in the audio signal to structure broadcast news data, and in particular to associate speaker identities with audio segments. While speaker recognition has been an active area of research for many years, addressing the problem of identifying speakers in huge audio corpora is relatively recent and has been mainl...

Transcripts are used successfully in many areas of contemporary society. However, some uses transcripts show systemic problems, with significant negative consequences. The key to finding effective solutions these is determine which factors contribute most strongly the problems – may be different from those they commonly ascribed. This systematic review offers a conceptual framework for understa...

Contact centers provide dialog based support to organizations to address various customer related issues. We have observed that the calls received at contact centers mostly follow well defined patterns. Such call flows not only specify how an agent should proceed in a call, handle objections, persuade customers, follow compliance issues, etc but also help to structure the operational process of...

Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are reverse complementary at least in part to the sequences of other endogenous sense transcripts. Most NATs are transcribed from opposite strands of their sense partners. They regulate sense genes at multiple levels and are implicated in various diseases. Using an improved whole-genome computational pipeline, we identified abundant cis-encoded exon-overlapp...

A criminal prosecution of Jamaican Creole (JC) speaking ‘posse’ (=gang) members in New York included evidence of recorded speech in JC. Clandestine recordings (discussions of criminal events, including narration of a homicide) were introduced at trial. Taped data were translated for prosecution by a non-linguist native speaker of JC. Defense disputed these texts and commissioned alternative tra...

Corpora of child language are essential for research in child language acquisition and psycholinguistics. Linguistic annotation of the corpora provides researchers with better means for exploring the development of grammatical constructions and their usage. We describe a project whose goal is to annotate the English section of the CHILDES database with grammatical relations in the form of label...
