This paper presents a revised version of an unsupervised and knowledge-free morpheme boundary detection algorithm based on letter successor variety (LSV) and a trie classifier (Bordag, 2006a). Additionally a morphemic analysis based on contextual similarity provides knowledge about relatedness of the found morphs. For the boundary detection the challenge of increasing recall of found morphs whi...

In non-azoospermic patients with low semen volume (LSV), looking for partial retrograde ejaculation (PRE) by searching sperm in the postejaculatory urine (PEU) is required. The use of a retro-ejaculatory index (R-ratio) was suggested to define PRE, but none of the studies indicated a specific threshold above which PRE must be considered. Our objective was to propose a threshold value for the R-...

A multitude of vascular conduits are available to the Cardiac Surgeon performing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft operations. The Internal Mammary Artery, Radial Artery (RA), and the Long Saphenous Vein (LSV) have proven to be excellent conduits, especially in the current era of statin usage. However, previous stripping or varicosities of the LSV and calcification of the RA, coupled with the need f...

Using direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, we explore the transitions between turbulent states from a 3D flow state towards quasi-2D condensate known as large-scale vortex (LSV). We vary Rayleigh number $Ra$ control parameter and study system response (strength LSV) in terms order parameters assessing energetic content upscale energy flux. By sensitively probin...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare the refractive error outcomes in the eyes of premature babies with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who underwent laser plus lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) in one eye and laser alone in the fellow eye. METHODS This is a retrospective study. Fourteen babies with Stage 4A of ROP or worse who underwent laser plus LSV in one eye (Group 1) and laser a...

The aim of this study is to measure the level of both the superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme and its substrate, superoxide radicals, in the wall of varicose veins. A total of 44 vein specimens were collected from 24 patients who underwent surgery for varicose veins at Asir Central Hospital (ACH), Abha, Saudi Arabia during the period from October 1999 to November 2000. The patients were 4 males a...

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) describes diseases of the lower limb veins in which venous return is impaired and varicose veins and skin ulceration may develop. The roles o f purinergic signalling in regulation of vascular tone in the long saphenous vein (LSV) and in the trophic changes occurring in LSV muscle cells and epidermal keratinocytes in lower leg skin were studied. The purinergic ...
