We propose a simple but effective method for enriching dictionary definitions with images based on image searches. Various query expansion methods using synonyms/hypernyms (or related words) are evaluated. We demonstrate that our method is effective in obtaining highprecision images that complement dictionary entries, even for words with abstract or multiple meanings.

The technique of relaxed power series expansion provides an efficient way to solve equations of the form F =Φ(F ), where the unknown F is a vector of power series, and where the solution can be obtained as the limit of the sequence 0,Φ(0),Φ(Φ(0)), . With respect to other techniques, such as Newton’s method, two major advantages are its generality and the fact that it takes advantage of possible...

Tonic and phasic inspiratory genioglossus (GG) electromyographic activity (EMG) was recorded from 13 anesthetized rabbits during unstimulated breathing. Integrated GG EMG peaked earlier in inspiration and presented a more rounded contour than integrated diaphragmatic (DIA) EMG. Spontaneous augmented deep inspirations (sighs) showed a biphasic pattern in both GG and DIA EMGs. Hyperventilation ab...
