The aim of the study is to present the efforts of the Greek physicians to introduce a malaria control and eradication program in Greece.

This paper describes an instrument that can compose a song using predicates of Ancient Greek Music. It employs the methodology and musical notation of this specific music system and at the same time, it provides a mapping mechanism that depicts the whole process to composition predicates of the usual notation of Western Music. The aim of this application is to facilitate the efforts of Ancient ...

Introduction. The project started with an innocuous attempt by one of the authors (it is obvious who) to learn TjjX for translating a Greek book on Mechanics, only to find that lacked the bold upright Greek lowercase letters used for symbolizing vectors such as o and @ for angular velocity vectors. After some trials with variations of "poor man's bold" ( T h e T&Xbook, p.386) it became clear th...

We present a number of experiments on parsing the Ancient Greek Dependency Treebank (AGDT), i.e. the largest syntactically annotated corpus of Ancient Greek currently available (350k words ca). Although the AGDT is rather unbalanced and far from being representative of all genres and periods of Ancient Greek, no attempt has been made so far to perform automatic dependency parsing of Ancient Gre...

Acquisition of object clitics is one of the more investigated aspects of the largely understudied variety of Modern Greek spoken in the Republic of Cyprus. Previous studies on the acquisition of clitics in Cypriot Greek usually acknowledge that the linguistic reality in Cyprus involves a state of diglossia, where the sociolinguistically ‘high’ Standard Modern Greek co-exists with the ‘low’ Cypr...

Educational systems of developed and developing countries have an ever-increasing tendency to apply ICT to education, in an attempt to prepare their students for the future's society. This thesis attempted to explore what kind of ICT is used in the Greek Primary Schools and develop...
