In this study, we deal with texts in languages (Hebrew/Aramaic) which have been little studied. Moreover, Semitic language processing in general is of great interest today. In particular, we investigate how to classify Jewish Law articles written in Hebrew-Aramaic according to the ethnic group of their authors. The classification is done using only stems of words, excluding very frequent stems ...

INTRODUCTION Historically, cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) femoral stems inserted in varus have yielded poor clinical results. Few studies to date have addressed the question of the effects of varus alignment on cementless stems. We conducted a retrospective review of 125 uncemented THA femoral stems implanted by a single surgeon from 1994 to 1999. METHODS We conducted a retrospective r...

We have compared the changes in the pattern of the principal strains in the proximal femur after insertion of eight uncemented anatomical stems and eight customised stems in human cadaver femora. During testing we aimed to reproduce the physiological loads on the proximal femur and to simulate single-leg stance and stair-climbing. The strains in the intact femora were measured and there were no...

In this study the changes of total polyphenolics in different anatomical parts (stems, leaves, flowers and seeds) of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) during vegetation period were analysed. The content of total polyphenolics was evaluated in growth phase I (formation of buds), phase II (at the beginning of flowering), phase III (full blossoming) and phase IV (full ripeness). In a...

Roots of hardwoods have been shown to be more vulnerable to xylem cavitation than stems. This study examined whether this pattern is also observed in a conifer species. Vulnerability to cavitation was determined from the pressure required to inject air into the vascular system of hydrated roots and stems, and reduce hydraulic conductance of the xylem. According to the air-seeding hypothesis for...
