Segmental alternations and metrical theory
… studies of several cases of prosody sensitive segmental alternations, as well as a survey of such phenomena mentioned in the literature were the empirical basis for this study. I have offered an empirically motivated proposal that constituency and prominence have to be separate entities in the …

Behavior of Gasketed Segmental Concrete Tunnel Lining
The results of the analyses show that the lining deformations and moments are highly dependent on the location of the longitudinal joint with respect to the direction of the major principal stresses in the ground. Also, the results show that as the circumferential joint shear stiffness and normal …

Transport and segmental relaxation in polymer networks
Transport phenomena and mechanical properties of polymer networks play a pivotal role in enabling advanced material applications, including energy storage, ion separation, and polymer recycling. This thesis explores the transport mechanisms of ions and penetrants in polymer networks and the …

Posterior segmental spinal fixation in Scoliosis surgery
Spinal deformity was recognised in the ancient works for philosophy, religion, myths, and fairy tales dating back as far as 3500BC[1,6]. Scoliosis was first described in the 5th century BC by Hippocrates. He recommended treatment with axial distraction on an extension apparatus (figure 1).

Phenotypic Characterization of Segmental Human Trabecular Meshwork Cells
Purpose: Aqueous humor outflow is segmental in the trabecular meshwork (TM) with regions of high-flow (HF) or low-flow (LF) that vary in molecular signature, biomechanics, and response to pressure in both normal and glaucoma eyes. We sought to investigate whether cells in these regions (1) deposit …

Time-Dependent Deformations in Segmental Prestressed Concrete Bridges
… for estimating the time-dependent behavior of segmental prestressed concrete bridges built by the cantilever method was presented. This analytical procedure was aimed specifically at those bridges where segments are precast and adjacent cantilevers are made continuous. It was based on a …

Aspects of segmental phonology and Chinese syllable structure
… dissertation presents a case study of Mandarin segmental morphology and phonology which covers the areas of (i) the analysis of derived mid vowels, (ii) distributional constraints on syllable structure, (iii) pre-specified reduplication patterns found in Mandarin-based language games, and (iv) …

Subword segmental neural language generation for Nguni languages
… of words into subword units. We propose subword segmental modelling, a neural architecture and training algorithm that learns subword segmentation during training. The standard approach to subword modelling is to apply data-driven algorithms such as byte-pair encoding (BPE) during preprocessing. …

Automatic Phoneme Recognition with Segmental Hidden Markov Models
… in the continuous speech is performed by a Segmental Viterbi Search on a Segmental Ergodic HMM for the phoneme states. We describe in detail the three phases of the phoneme joint recognition and segmentation system. First, the extraction of the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and …

Mechanisms and impact of alternative transposition-induced segmental duplications
<p>Segmental duplications are prevalent in both plant and animal genomes, and have played important roles in genome evolution. The focus of my project is to understand the transposition-mediated mechanisms that lead to the formation of segmental duplications, and the immediate impact of recently …

The Studies of Polymer Adhesion Using Segmental Dynamics Model
… coarse-grained potentials for a method we call Segmental Dynamics. Segmental Dynamics employs extensive atomistic Monte Carlo simulations to develop the interaction potentials custom-made for a specific polymer. This makes it possible to study the dynamics of larger scale polymer systems, which …

Segmental reporting disclosures in South Africa : requirements versus needs
Segmental reporting (breaking down information in financial statements between different business activities and different geographical areas) is mandatory for certain companies in South Africa in terms of the disclosure requirements of AC 115. Such requirements are similar to those contained in …

Segmental multi-point linearization for topology optimization and reliability analysis
… the failure probability is approximated. A segmental multi-point linearization (SML) method is proposed for a more accurate estimation of failure probability and its gradient. Numerical examples show that the RBTO algorithm based on the SML is more stable numerically and is able to converge …

Structural behaviour of concrete segmental lining tunnels: towards design optimisation
… tunnel boring machines (TBMs) has on concrete segmental linings (CSLs) can lead to either material waste or structural damage within the tunnel design life. Most research to date on CSL behaviour during construction neglects the sequential ring loading and TBM-lining transverse interactions, …

Transverse and Longitudinal Bending of Segmental Concrete Box Girder Bridges
Post-tensioned segmental concrete box girders have been in use in the United States since the early 1970s. This unique bridge system uses post-tensioning to connect many smaller concrete bridge segments into very efficient long span bridges. However, because of the slender components, localized …

alpha-Actinin-4 and the podocyte: Implications for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a common glomerular lesion and a significant cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). FSGS lesions result from damage to glomerular epithelial cells called podocytes, a key cell type involved in glomerular filtration. Mutations in the ACTN4 gene, …
