Very high resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at a 4 Tesla (T) magnetic field was used to map ocular dominance regions in the human visual cortical layers using the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) contrast mechanism. The fMRI response from primary visual cortex (V1) exhibited a distribution of ocular dominance reminiscent of the single-cell recordings of Hubel and Wiesel...

We present two cases of Behcet's Disease with severe eye problems along with oral and genital ulcerations. Both cases, initially were treated with steroids and oral immunosuppressive agents, but did not show a response and ocular disease became worse. Both the cases were kept on Infliximab therapy. an immediate positive response with improvement in vision and symptoms was seen. After initial in...

This paper presents a static pointer analysis technique for a subset of C. The tool supports user-defined assertions inserted in the body of the program. Assertions are of two kinds: static assertions automatically verified by the analyser, and hypothetical assertions treated as assumptions by the analyser. The technique deals with recursive data structures and it is accurate enough to handle c...

Ocular dominance plasticity has long served as a successful model for examining how cortical circuits are shaped by experience. In this paradigm, altered retinal activity caused by unilateral eye-lid closure leads to dramatic shifts in the binocular response properties of neurons in the visual cortex. Much of the recent progress in identifying the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying oc...

New-onset impairment of ocular motility will cause incomitant strabismus, i.e., a gaze-dependent ocular misalignment. This ocular misalignment will cause retinal disparity, that is, a deviation of the spatial position of an image on the retina of both eyes, which is a trigger for a vergence eye movement that results in ocular realignment. If the vergence movement fails, the eyes remain misalign...

Names are difficult to handle for normal letter-to-sound rules, since these usually are designed for ordinary words. The structure of Swedish names differ from ordinary words but their multi-morphemic structure make them suitable to analyse with a morphological analyser. The paper presents the work on names from the Swedish telephone directory, as part of the ONOMASTICA project [7], including a...

This paper deals with the effective implementation of the new Czech morphological analyser ajka which is based on the algorithmic description of the Czech formal morphology. First, we present two most important word-forming processes in Czech — inflection and derivation. A brief description of the data structures used for storing morphological information as well as a discussion of the efficien...

Considering that we are observing and describing the behaviour of the terminological units and the terminological collocations, we intend to talk about the value of the verb as a nuclear element of the terminological collocation in the Portuguese language. So we will empathize the theoretical distinction between multilexemic terminological unit and terminological collocation and the importance ...

This paper deals with the treatment of constructed neologisms in a machine translation system. It focuses on a particular issue in Romance languages: relational adjectives and the role they play in prefixation. Relational adjectives are formally adjectives but are semantically linked to their base-noun. In prefixation processes, the prefix is formally attached to the adjective, but its semantic...

This paper presents the AnIta-Lemmatiser, an automatic tool to lemmatise Italian texts. It is based on a powerful morphological analyser enriched with a large lexicon and some heuristic techniques to select the most appropriate lemma among those that can be morphologically associated to an ambiguous wordform. The heuristics are essentially based on the frequency-of-use tags provided by the De M...
