The article provides lexical statistical analysis of K. Vonnegut's two novels and their Russian translations. It is found out that there happen some changes between the speed of word types and word tokens ratio change in the source and target texts. The author hypothesizes that these changes are typical for EnglishRussian translations, and moreover, they represent an example of Baker's translat...

Unknown words are a challenge for any NLP task, including sentiment analysis. Here, we evaluate the extent to which sentiment polarity of complex words can be predicted based on their morphological make-up. We do this on German as it has very productive processes of derivation and compounding and many German hapax words, which are likely to bear sentiment, are morphologically complex. We presen...

Given a form that is previously unseen in a sufficiently large training corpus, and that is morphologically n-ways ambiguous (serves n different lexical functions) what is the best estimator for the lexical prior probabilities for the various functions of the form? We argue that the best estimator is provided by computing the relative frequencies of the various functions among the hapax legomen...

The corrosion behavior of Cu in antifreeze solutions containing 2,4,6-Tris(5-carboxypentylamino)1,3,5-triazine, 2,4,6-Tris(11-carboxyundecylamino)1,3,5-triazine, 1-Aminomethyl(N′,N′-di(2-hydroxyethyl)tolutriazole, or 1-Aminomethyl(N′,N′-di(2-hydroxyethyl)benzotriazole as inhibitors were examined by immersion test for 3 weeks well potentiodynamic polarization tests before and after test. rate wa...

The presence of tubuloreticular inclusions (TRIs) in native glomerular endothelial cells associates with viral infections and lupus nephritis. However, the associations of TRIs in renal transplant biopsy specimens are not known. We analyzed data from 316 patients who had a transplant biopsy with electron microscopy examination; 41 of 316 (13.0%) patients had TRIs. Patients with TRIs had signifi...

Here we tested impact of Tris (dibenzylideneacetone) dipalladium (Tris-DBA) on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B-cell survival. Indeed, treatment of CLL B-cells with Tris-DBA induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner irrespective of IgVH mutational status. Further analyses suggest that Tris-DBA-induced apoptosis involves reduced expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-xL, and XIAP w...

Tris+/Na+ permeability ratios were measured from shifts in the biionic reversal potentials of the macroscopic ACh-induced currents for 3 wild-type (WT), 1 hybrid, 2 subunit-deficient, and 25 mutant nicotinic receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. At two positions near the putative intracellular end of M2, 2' (alpha Thr244, beta Gly255, gamma Thr253, delta Ser258) and -1', point mutations reduc...

Alkali metal complexes of two types of ansa-tris(allyl) ligand are reported; a monoanionic ansa-tris(allyl) ligand containing tin(II) is formally valence isoelectronic to the cyclopentadienyl ligand and a trianionic ansa-tris(allyl) ligand containing silicon(IV) is formally valence isoelectronic to an ansa-metallocene ligand; the potential wider use of these tripodal ligands in coordination che...

Brief treatment of Escherichia coli with 2 x 10(-4)m ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-0.12 m tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris), pH 8.0, or 0.12 m Tris alone resulted in the release of the acid-soluble nucleotide pool at 3 or 23 C. Exposure to EDTA-Tris for up to 90 min at 3 C did not result in the release of increasing amounts of 260-mmu-absorbing material. At 23 and 37 C, EDTA-Tris ...
