garbage pail kids This article deals with one of the aspects involved in the compilation of a treebank of Old English within the framework of Universal Dependencies.More specifically, this study addresses the question of how to account for the remarkable degree of Old English morphological relatedness in a type of treebank designed to stress syntac
CNS glucose metabolism in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: a therapeutic target?
Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by selective degeneration of both the upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brain stem and the spinal cord.The exact mechanism for the selective death of neurons is unknown.A growing body of evidence demon
Mapping soil fractal dimension in agricultural fields with GPR
We documented that the mapping of the fractal dimension of the backscattered Ground Discontinued Penetrating Radar traces (Fractal Dimension Mapping, FDM) accomplished over heterogeneous agricultural fields gives statistically sound combined information about the spatial distribution of Andosol' dielectric permittivity, volumetric and gravimet
