Existing social collaboration projects contain a host of conceptual knowledge, but are often only sparsely structured and hardly machine-accessible. Using the well known Wikipedia as a showcase, we propose new and improved techniques for extracting ontology data from the wiki category structure. Applications like information extraction, data classification, or consistency checking require ontol...

Lingual thyroid (LT) is a rare developmental thyroid anomaly usually affecting. Although the exact pathogenesis of this ectopic, accessory thyroid tissue is not known, it generally originates from epithelial tissue of non-obliterated thyroglossal ductus. In this report, a case of lingual thyroid in a 45- year old male patient with difficulty in breathing and swallowing complaints for five years...

MULTEXT is the largest project funded under the LRE Program, intended to contribute to the development of generally usable software tools to manipulate and analyse multi-lingual text and speech, and to annotate multi-lingual text and speech corpora with structural and linguistic markup. It will attempt to establish conventions for the encoding of such corpora, building on and contributing to th...

One hundred and thirty-three second graders in rural public school were assessed on a number of dental, skeletal, and oral muscle function measures. Correlational analyses were conducted in order to determine whether specific myofunctional variables were associated with dentofacial development. Significant relationships were observed between open mouth posture and a narrow maxillary arch and lo...

Pseudomeriones hansi nov. sp. is described from deli locality (SW Sivas, Central Anatolia). The morphological description of the new species is given within its own systematic and stratigraphic relationships. The micromammalian fauna of deli gives evidence for a new species which is characterized by its small size, its M2 with a deep lingual sinus curved backward and its m1 with a symmetric tri...
