Nocturnal pruritus may occur in all sleep stages but is most prevalent in stages N1 and N2.

A system for computer-assisted encoding, tabulation and analysis of visually scored sleep data is presented. The main features of the system are: (1) The use of computer-readable optical scan sheets for direct encoding of the sleep data. This eliminates the need for a separate transcription and/or key-punching operation. (2) The development of a visually scored data base, organized by NREM and ...

Original multidisciplinary research hereby clarifies the complex geodomestication pathways that generated the vast range of banana cultivars (cvs). Genetic analyses identify the wild ancestors of modern-day cvs and elucidate several key stages of domestication for different cv groups. Archaeology and linguistics shed light on the historical roles of people in the movement and cultivation of ban...

This paper explores methods for the extrapolation of correspondences in a small parallel diachronic corpus taken from the Modern and Middle Polish Bible, in an attempt to answer the question “can historical grammar and lexica be derived directly from a corpus?” The problem of extracting this data is approached from a machine translation point of view: by envisioning texts from different periods...

this paper explores the diachrony of the verbal person marking system across the large and structurally diverse tupian language family. i argue that the historical development of these different patterns are best informed by analyzing their synchronic distributions with regard to the current evolutionary hypotheses on the family. i apply a parsimony reconstruction model across the topology of t...
