Preliminary evaluation of sagittal and transverse plane cross-sectional variations of the trunk during quiet and deep breathing by optical reflective motion analysis in patients with scoliosis
No full textTrunk movements during quiet and deep breathing in untreated and in operated patients with scoliosis are not well defined. To evaluate sagittal and transverse plane cross-sectional variations of the trunk during quiet and deep breathing by optical reflective motion analysis (ORMA) in children with scoliosis. Twenty-one patients were divided into three groups: normal subjects (A; n=6), subjects with untreated scoliosis >50° (B; n=7) and operated patients (C; n=8). Standing and sitting height, T1–T12 and L1–L5 length, arm span, chest perimeter, weight and BMI were recorded. Trunk movements of all patients, during quiet and deep breathing, were measured with a 10-camera 3D ORMA system (82 markers) with the subjects in a standard standing position. Groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, height, arm span and weight (P>0.05). Significant differences were found in Cobb angle, chest perimeter and BMI (P<0.05). Trunk sagittal and transverse plane movements during quiet and deep breathing decreased significantly in group B and group C when compared to group A (P<0.05). Surgery does not completely eliminate sagittal and transverse plane kinematics, although the spine is rendered more rigid. This preliminary study involving a relatively limited number of patients outlines ORMA is a useful tool for analyzing sagittal and transverse plane motion abnormalities of the trunk. Trunk kinematics was altered during breathing in unoperated patients with scoliosis >50°. Operated subjects had sagittal plane trunk kinematics closer to normal subjects, although changes were less pronounced at the level of the convex side

Vibrationally Excited Level Identification and FIR Laser Line Prediction by the "Ritz" and "LaseRitz" Programs
No full text G. Moruzzi and Li-Hong Xu, Ohio State University 49th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, TD04, p. 122 (1994).Author Institution: Università di Pisa, Piazza Torricelli 2, I-56100 Pisa, Italy; National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 U.S.A.Following last year's Columbus , we have continued our work on an interactive computer program for automating assignment of the Fourier-Transform methanol spectrum. Two new features have been developed. (1) A new routine has been incorporated in the Ritz program for the identification of small-amplitude vibrationally excited levels starting from the known energies of the ground-vibrational levels. We have been testing this routine in the region for . (2)A new LaseRitz program has been written for predicting FIR laser lines using known energies of the ground and the vibrationally excited levels. The simplified float chart of the interactive program is presented below

Xu Shen's graphic analysis revisited
No full textInternational audienceLike other writing systems, the Chinese writing is based on a limited number of basic elements. Compared to the 26 letters of the alphabet, or the 70 hiragana and katakana signs for (modern) Japanese, the precise number of basic units is unknown in the Chinese case. It is almost never touched upon, or varies a lot, not only between specialists and corpora, but even within the same corpus. In trying to elucidate the reason for such a different treatment in the case of the Chinese script, one cannot but focus on the first author who developed a proper analysis of the script. When Xu Shen wrote the Shuo wen jie zi , the first dictionary of Chinese characters compiled at the end of the first century, he provided a systematic analysis of more than 9 000 characters. Considering that their structure was best brought out by the older style of graphs known as the small seal script, he based his analysis on this older style, which kept graphemes more clearly apart. If compound characters can include more than 10 basic graphemes, Xu Shen basically only retained 2 main constituents to which he attributed a phonetic or a semantic function. Most characters (about 86% in Shuowen) consist in the combination of a semantic and a phonetic constituent (). In these cases, Xu Shen's distinction between semantic and phonetic constituents considerably simplified the graphic analysis. Once a constituent is attributed a phonetic function, there is no need to try to understand its meaning in a character (or provide ad hoc interpretations for it). But what about semantic compound characters without identifiable phonetic constituent, included in the other 14% characters in Shuo wen jie zi? The study of semantic compound characters is more complex and, at times, more subjective, but it allows a better understanding of Xu Shen's motivation. I shall present the different strategies and formulae (X, X, X , X Y, etc.,) employed by Xu Shen in these cases, with concrete examples, and discuss the interpretation of the relative location of the constituents (such as for example in :). The latter as well as the different kinds of motivated explanations, Xu Shen often adds, show that the graphic analysis is designed to ascertain the gloss of the character. We will see that even though Xu Shen provided some graphic analyses with 3, 4 or even 5 constituents, in most cases, he basically retained 2 main semantic constituents. Systematic and sound as it may appear, Xu Shen's analysis in terms of constituents, clearly motivated by the semantic interpretation of the characters, has eluded the fundamental question concerning the basic units of the Chinese writing system
A Realization Optimality-Theoretic approach to full and partial identity of forms
No full textIn this paper we present a Realization Optimality-Theoretic account of full and partial identity of forms, i.e., paradigmatic syncretism and cases in which lexemes share the same inflectional formative. Our approach involves both output-to-output correspondence constraints and realization constraints that associate morphosyntactic feature values with morphophonological forms. We show that Realization Optimality Theory (Xu 2007) offers a unified account of these phenomena. Additionally, we argue that Realization Optimality Theory has advantages over several alternative approaches such as feature impoverishment-plus-insertion (Noyer 1998), rules of referral (Zwicky 1985, Stump 1993), and two different models of OT morphology proposed by Müller (2007, 2008). We argue for an autonomous morphological component and also discuss related issues such as the morphology-phonology interface. We suggest that morphology and phonology are distinct components of the grammatical architecture; morphology precedes phonology by default while the morphological and phonological components overlapThe definitive version of this paper was published in Morphological Autonomy: Perspectives from Romance Inflectional Morphology (2011).Xu, Z., Arnoff, M.
