Whereas Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is used for many documents, such as check, passport, bank statement and receipt, there is a showing interest on modelling of occurrence and location of visual items. However, this source of information attracts much less attention in general OCR. For instance, there are many specific visual items (e.g., dates, writer signatures, calligraphy...

We present our submission to SemEval-2015 Task 7: Diachronic Text Evaluation, in which we approach the task of assigning a date to a text as a multi-class classification problem. We extract n-gram features from the text at the letter, word, and syntactic level, and use these to train a classifier on date-labeled training data. We also incorporate date probabilities of syntactic features as esti...

Previous studies have demonstrated a neuroprotective effect of extract of Ginkgo biloba against neuronal damage, but have mainly focused on antioxidation of extract of Ginkgo biloba. To date, limited studies have determined whether extrasct of Ginkgo biloba has a protective effect on neuronal damage. In the present study, acrylamide and 30, 60, and 120 mg/kg extract of Ginkgo biloba were admini...

In the literature, two methods for the extraction zones of the document are more used. The first method is based on the Mathematical Morphology (MM). The second is based on Hough Transform (HT). The main contribution of this paper is the application of these methods to extract the handwritten components of the complex document. The second contribution is the combination between the HT and the M...

BACKGROUND To study the effects of an aqueous extract of date fruit (Phoenix dactylifera L. Arecaceae) diet on diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) in streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic rats. METHODS The effects of a date fruit extract (DFE) diet on diabetic neuropathy in STZ-induced diabetic rats were evaluated and compared with a nondiabetic control group, diabetic control group (sham), and v...

Phoenix dactylifera or date palm fruits are reported to contain natural compounds that exhibit antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This research aimed to study the effect of fruit chilling at 4 °C for 8 weeks, extract storage at -20 °C for 5 weeks, and extraction solvents (methanol or acetone) on total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity and antibacterial properties of Saudi Arab...
