Utilizing a T1-sequence an effective double-echo sequence and in a plane nearly paralleling the long axis of the foot utilizing an effective double-echo sequence. An additional sequence was performed in an attempt to do a fat saturation technique. However, motion artifact degrades the detail on these images limiting the use for evaluation. There is prominent abnormality evident in the right midfoot and forefoot. This consists of abnormally increased soft tissue present, predominantly plantar, medial to the tarsals and proximal to the metatarsals but also dorsal to the proximal metatarsals.

    In this paper we have dealt with the general definitions of morphology, morphemes in both types: free and bound, and focused on the bound one, its classifications in Arabic and English, then we stated the morphological processes under which the bound morpheme goes which result in morphemic shifts in the same language and across both languages, and finally concluding that despite the similarities between Arabic and English at morphemic level-in terms of derivational and inflectional features- Arabic represents a more difficult and peculiar challenge for native speakers and foreign learners but this does not lessen its richness, depth and gracefulness.…

    Ampalaya is a climbing vine, nearly or quite smooth, annual vine. Tendrils are simple, up to 20 centimeters long. Leaves are 2.5 to 10 centimeters in diameter, cut nearly to the base into 5 to 7 lobes, oblong-ovate, variously toothed, and heart-shaped at the base. Male flower is about 12 millimeters long, and is peduncle, with a rounded, green, and about 1 centimeter long bract approximately at the middle. Female flower is yellow flower, about 15 millimeters long, long-stalked with pair of small leaf like bracts at middle or toward base of stalk. Fruit, in cultivated form, is green, fleshy, oblong, cylindrical, 15 to 25 centimeters long, pointed at both ends, ribbed and wrinkled, bursting when mature to release seeds; in wild forms, ovoid, about 2 to 4 centimeters long. Seeds are oblong, compressed 10 to 13 millimeters long, and corrugated on the margins (Philippine Medical Plant, 2014). Flowering of M. charantia started 38 + 3.5 d after planting with the development of male flowers earlier than the female flowers. Flowers started to open at about 0300 h, and were fully opened at 0530-1200 h. A successfully pollinated female flower started to set fruit after 2-5 diameters (Rodelina & Cleofas, 2009).…

    The Object of Lexicology

    • 295 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Lexicology (from Gr. lexis 'word' and logos 'learning') is the part of linguistics dealing with the vocabulary of the language and the prop¬erties of words as the main units of language. The term vocabulary is used to denote the system formed by the sum total of all the words and word equivalents that the language possesses. The term word denotes the basic unit of a given language resulting from the association of a particular meaning with a particular group of sounds capable of a particular grammatical employment. A word therefore is simultaneously a semantic, grammatical and phonological unit.(E.g.1) Thus, in the word girl the group of sounds [gWl] is associated with the meaning 'a male child up to the age of 17 or 18 (also with some other meanings, but this is the most frequent) and with a definite gram¬matical employment, i.e. it is a noun and thus has a plural form — girls, it is a personal noun and has the Genitive form girl's, it may be used in certain syntactic functions.…
