my suggestion she was treated with nicotinic acid, which resulted in complete restoration of her sight. In March 1944 Hollis and' Baty (New England) reported a case of a 6 weeks' old child treated with sulphathiazole for meningitis due to the colon bacillus. The drug sterilized the cerebro-spinal fluid in a week but left the child totally blind. The report of Hollis and Baty's case reached me b...

Ontology is one of the essential topics in the scope of an important area of current computer science and Semantic Web. Ontologies present well defined, straightforward and standardized form of the repositories (vast and reliable knowledge) where it can be interoperable and machine understandable. There are many possible utilization of ontologies from automatic annotation of web resources to do...

The Arabic language is one of the oldest languages in the world that presents its own features and challenges while searching for Arabic-based content. The most search systems for the Holy Quran is organized around words (contained in the target verses) rather than the concepts which those words denote. As a word denote many concepts (polysemy) and a concept can be denoted by many words (synony...

Modern Arabic text is written without diacritical marks (short vowels), which causes considerable ambiguity at the word level in the absence of context. Exceptional from this is the Holy Quran, which is endorsed with short vowels and other marks to preserve the pronunciation and hence, the correctness of sensing its words. Searching for a word in vowelized text requires typing and matching all ...

The semantic resources are important parts in the Information Retrieval (IR) such as search engines, Question Answering (QA), etc., these resources should be available, readable and understandable. In semantic web, the ontology plays a central role for the information retrieval, which use to retrieves more relevant information from unstructured information. This paper presents a semantic-based ...

The role of subcortical structures in language function is complex and dependent on language task, with studies increasingly showing subcortical involvement for the production of formulaic language, including recited speech. Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), with (n = 6) and without (n = 7) surgical treatment, deep brain stimulation (DBS), were compared to healthy adults (n = 14) to de...
