We present a limited speech translation system for English and colloquial Levantine Arabic, which we are currently developing as part of the DARPA Babylon program. The system is intended for question/answer communication between an English-speaking operator and an Arabic-speaking subject. It uses speech recognition to convert a spoken English question into text, and plays out a pre-recorded spe...

In the present study, a sensitive modification of the colorimetric assay for catalase activity is reported. This assay is based on the reaction of undecomposed hydrogen peroxide with ammonium molybdate to give a yellowish color, which has maximum absorbance at 354 nm. Catalase-like activity is calculated from a comparison with the activity of a certified standard enzyme with known unit activity...

To investigate the evolution of market dynamics in different stages of historical development, we analyze commodity prices from two distinct periods —ancient Babylon, and medieval and early modern England. We find that the first-digit distributions of both Babylon and England commodity prices follow Benford’s law, indicating that the data represent empirical observations typically arising from ...
