Evidence suggests that in Iwaija, a non-Pama-Nyungan language of northern Australia, the Intonation Phrase (IP) is an integrated entity, one which is typical of a cursus language (Pulgram,1970) like French, in which words in connected speech give up some of the properties they exhibit in isolation. A salient feature of the prosody of this language is syllabification across content word boundari...

The demand and growth for published research in the field of multiple sclerosis (MS) has increased exponentially over the last few years. The primary aim of the Multiple Sclerosis Journal (MSJ) has always been to reflect the excellent work of the ever-expanding and diverse clinical and research field of MS, and this role will now be shared by MSJ’s companion journal MSJ Experimental, Translatio...

In this article we present an approach for tackling three important aspects of text normalization: sentence boundary disambiguation, disambiguation of capitalized words in positions where capitalization is expected, and identification of abbreviations. As opposed to the two dominant techniques of computing statistics or writing specialized grammars, our document-centered approach works by consi...

The immune microenvironment is considered a major obstacle to generating an effective antitumor immune response. Checkpoint inhibitors manipulate the co-stimulatory response between antigen-presenting cells and immune cells-or between the tumor and immune cells-to elicit an antitumor immune response that would have otherwise been suppressed. Checkpoint inhibitors have shown great promise in the...

Heterogeneous network computing enables the development of a single complex application using a distributed network of possibly dissimilar machines. While heterogeneous networks promise cost-eeective compute cycles, almost no software is available to aid in the design and implementation of their applications. In this paper, we couple the Zoom representation, designed to facilitate development o...
