The development of the African Wordnet (AWN) has reached a stage of maturity where the first steps towards an application can be attempted. The AWN is based on the expand method, and to compensate for the general resource scarceness of the African languages, various development strategies were used. The aim of this paper is to investigate the usefulness of the current isiZulu Wordnet in an appl...

The Prader-Willi syndrome is frequently associated with cytogenetic abnormality involving chromosome 15.1 This report presents a new case of this syndrome with the karyotype 45,XX,-15,-19, +der(19),t(15 ;19)(ql2;ql3). The child was born at 8 months' gestation to young, unrelated parents. The mother's first pregnancy resulted in spontaneous abortion after 3 months. At birth, the baby (weight 240...

We report a new record of Eremotermes neoparadoxalis from Haryana, India. Silvestri, 1911 is highly dispersed genus epitomized by 10 species, six which have been reported in India, including E. paradoxalis Harayana. Taxonomic descriptions provided with illustrations general morphology and measurements body length, head length without mandibles, pigmentation, antennae segments, tibial spur, tars...

Because levator ani (LA) muscle injuries occur in approximately 13% of all vaginal births, insights are needed to better prevent them. In Part I of this paper, we conducted an analysis of the bony and soft tissue factors contributing to the geometric "capacity" of the maternal pelvis and pelvic floor to deliver a fetal head without incurring stretch injury of the maternal soft tissue. In Part I...

For grass species to spread efficiently through their environment requires seeds that can disperse over large distances and burrow into the ground. Recent work using awns from Hordeum murinum in conjunction with mathematical modelling shows that awn shape leverages environmental oscillations in order to produce these directional translations.

this study was conducted to examine morphometric and meristic characteristics alongside pigmentation patterns of bream larvae, abramis brama orientalis, in four stages of larval development. morphological characters including total length (tl), standard length (sl), notochord length (nl), head length (hl), head depth (hd), eye diameter (ed) and mouth width (mw) were examined from hatching time ...

OBJECTIVE Children with a question of occult head injury are routinely hospitalized despite having both normal central nervous system (CNS) and computed tomographic (CT) scan examinations. We determined the incidence of significant CNS morbidity after occult head injury to determine whether or not hospital admission was necessary in children after minimal head trauma. METHODS We reviewed the ...

OBJECT Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are significant independent public health concerns in the pediatric population. This study explores the impact of a premorbid diagnosis of ADHD on outcome following mild TBI. METHODS The charts of all patients with a diagnosis of mild closed head injury (CHI) and ADHD who were admitted to Children's Hospit...
