Background: Newborns can present with a vast variety of skin lesions. Most of these lesions are physiological, transient, or self-limited and require no therapy. Although a few studies have been done, the results of these studies show differences according to racial and environmental factors. Objective: To study the hospital-based incidence of neonatal dermatoses during the early neonatal perio...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of birthmarks in Taiwanese newborns has not been well studied. How gender and maturity of newborns affect presentation and prevalence of vascular birthmarks, in particular, has not been well documented. The aim of this survey was to catalog the above-mentioned problems. METHODS From May 9 through July 14, 2000, 500 newborns in Linkou and Taipei Chang Gung Memorial Ho...

With the development of the Mongolian corpus and website, an increasing number of people have focused their attention on the accurate, complete and fast retrieval of the information that they need. In this paper, such key technological issues in Mongolian full-text retrieval as character shape indexing, drawing the Mongolian verb stem and the automatic recognition of the Mongolian homographic w...

Background. Cutaneous alterations are common in neonates. The majority of lesions are physiological, transient, or self-limited and require no therapy. Although much has been reported on the various disorders peculiar to the skin of infant, very little is known about variations and activity of the skin in neonates. Objective. To study the various pattern of skin lesions in newborn and to estima...

Horses are critically important for Mongolian herders' livelihoods, providing transportation and food products, and playing important cultural roles. Equine influenza virus (EIV) epizootics have been frequent among Mongolia's horses, with five occurring since 1970. We sought to estimate the prevalence for EIV infection among horses and Bactrian camels with influenza-like illness between nationa...

This paper proposes methods for extracting loanwords from Cyrillic Mongolian corpora and producing a Japanese–Mongolian bilingual dictionary. We extract loanwords from Mongolian corpora using our own handcrafted rules. To complement the rule-based extraction, we also extract words in Mongolian corpora that are phonetically similar to Japanese Katakana words as loanwords. In addition, we corresp...

The conventional Mongolian-Chinese statistical machine translation (SMT) model uses Mongolian words and Chinese words to practice the system. However, data sparsity, complex Mongolian morphology and Chinese word segmentation (CWS) errors lead to alignment errors and ambiguities. Some other works use finer-grained Mongolian stems and Chinese characters, which suffer from information loss when in...

This paper presents the development of a morphological processor for the Mongolian language, based on the two-level morphological model which was introduced by Koskenniemi. The aim of the study is to provide Mongolian syntactic parsers with more effective information on word structure of Mongolian words. First hand written rules that are the core of this model are compiled into finite-state tra...

In Mongolian language, there is a phenomenon that many words have the same presentation form but represent different words with different codes. Since typists usually input the words according to their representation forms and cannot distinguish the codes sometimes, there are lots of coding errors occurred in Mongolian corpus. It results in statistic and retrieval very difficult on such a Mongo...
