We propose a machine learning method for recognizing modern Arabic poems based on the common poetic features of modern Arabic poetry. The poetic features include: rhyming, repetition, use of diacritics and punctuations, and text alignment. The method can classify text documents as poem or non-poem documents with a very high accuracy of 99.81%.

It is a simple story, albeit a distressing one. As literary critic Catherine Ross notes in her article, “Browning‟s Porphyria’s Lover,” the “standard reading” of the poem is...

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is currently considered the least invasive, innovative endoscopic intervention for permanent treatment of all types of esophageal achalasia [1]. POEM, however, is a technically demanding procedure, necessitating high-quality endoscopic abilities to manage the individualized technical diffi culties. Herein we report a successful POEM in a 75-year-old male with s...

E ffective teachers do no simply present information for students to learn by rote for a good grade. Rather, they provide an environment in which students can engage with course material and both learn and interpret it for their own interest and goals. With this in mind, I have spent a considerable amount of time developing an active learning format for my introductory biology course, including...

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a safe and effective procedure for patients with achalasia [1]. Mucosal perforation is an inadvertent complication that is difficult or impossible to treat with standard clips [2]. Over-the-scope clips, endoluminal suturing devices, and fully covered stents have been used successfully [3,4]. Cyanoacrylate is used as a sealant because of its rapid solidificat...
