In this article, we introduce a new task, visual sense disambiguation for verbs: given an image and a verb, assign the correct sense of the verb, i.e., the one that describes the action depicted in the image. Just as textual word sense disambiguation is useful for a wide range of NLP tasks, visual sense disambiguation can be useful for multimodal tasks such as image retrieval, image description...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of enrofloxacin (ENR) in situ forming gel in pigs following a single intramuscular administration. Twelve healthy pigs were randomly divided into two groups (6 pigs per group), then administered 20 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) ENR in situ forming gel and 5 mg/kg b.w. ENR conventional injection respectively. Highperforma...

The biggest challenges mankind ever faces are falling energy sources and food shortages. If controlled nuclear fusion were achieved with net energy yield, the energy source problem would be solved. If natural photosynthesis were reproduced, food shortage concern would be addressed. Though both nuclear fusion and photosynthesis are universal, the difficulties to achieve them are disproportionall...

The epic decasyllable is a traditional South Slavic folk metrical form. The poems created in this rich oral tradition are of a highly formulaic nature, and possess a discernible metrical organization. My focus will be on the so-called Serbo-Croatian poems within this tradition (cf. Maretić 1907, 1935, Jakobson 1933, 1952), which have been documented in numerous volumes of verse. Among the most ...

Nonsense codons upstream of and including position 192 of the human gene for triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) have been found to reduce the abundance of TPI mRNA to approximately 25% of normal. The reduction is due to the decay of newly synthesized TPI mRNA that co-purifies with nuclei. TPI mRNA that co-purifies with cytoplasm is immune to nonsense-mediated decay. Until now, a nonsense codon at ...

The teubner package provides support for typesetting classical Greek philological texts with LATEX, including textual and rhythmic verse. The special signs and glyphs made available by this package may also be useful for typesetting philological texts with other alphabets.

The segmentation of music into intro-chorus-verse-outro, and similar segments, is a difficult topic. A method for performing automatic segmentation based on features related to rhythm, timbre, and harmony is presented, and compared, between the features and between the features and manual segmentation of a database of 48 songs. Standard information retrieval performance measures are used in the...

In a production study, Bulgarian, English and German verses with regular poetic metrical metres of different types and elicited prose utterances with varied accentual patterns are produced in textual and iterative (dada) form and measured at syllable level according to the pairwise variability index (PVI) principle. Systematic differences in PVI values show that the measure is sensitive to metr...
