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 ...

A key observation that has emerged out of the examination of different stages of a language is that no language is static; all aspects of language are subject to change, including the sounds, the forms, the sentence structure, meanings, etc. Indeed, as far as Greek is concerned, the evidence presented in the chapters on syntactic change between Classical and Hellenistic Greek and on movement to...

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...

The establishment of a standing Roman army during the reign of Augustus resulted in an increased demand for military doctors. The knowledge about the Roman military medicine comes primarily from the excavations at the valetudinaria. Medical instruments, medicine containers and remains of medicinal plants found there indicate that the Roman army strived to provide unwell legionaries with excelle...

The great majority of these Orations have been delivered by men, but since 1995 the medical staff have to some extent redressed the balance albeit belatedly, and Professor, now Dame Ingrid Allen gave the Oration in 1995. Last ear Professor Jennifer Adgey gave the Millennium Oration. It gives me great pleasure to follow her as Orator and when I look down the list of previous Orators it makes me ...

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...

There is considerable debate on the meaning of Islamic Medicine, and its relationship to other medical doctrines, especially Western medicine. Previous definitions of Islamic Medicine affirm that it is any practice of medicine which does not contradict the basic tenets of the Islamic doctrine. In this article the author suggests that Islamic Medicine should adhere to the theoretical and philoso...

Introduction As an important foundation to theological education in our colleges and seminaries, the study and teaching of biblical Greek constitutes a challenging task as the student of the Greek New Testament (NT) is required to master a variety of grammatical forms and their functions. One of the more significant grammatical features of Greek that demands the student’s (and teacher’s) attent...

Around 300 BC, during the time of the ancient Greek physician, Hippocrates, the first documented examination of human bodily fluids was conducted. This gave birth to laboratory medicine, which is the use of laboratory tests to guide clinical investigations.1 Ever since, as a result of its multi-faceted nature, ensuring the quality of testing in laboratory medicine has remained a challenge, but ...
