The computational treatment of subjectivity and sentiment in natural language is usually significantly improved by applying features exploiting lexical resources where entries are tagged with semantic orientation (e.g., positive, negative values). In spite of the fair amount of work on Arabic sentiment analysis over the past few years, e.g., (Abbasi et al., 2008; Abdul-Mageed et al., 2014; Abdu...

Five carnation cultivars (‘Grand Salam’, ‘Nelson’, ‘Kaly’, ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Tempo’) were evaluated with respect to growth, yield and quality characteristics under lath house conditions at Kala Shah Kaku Research Station, Directorate of Floriculture, Lahore during 2011. Among the cultivars studied, maximum plant height was recorded in carnation cultivar ‘Grand Salam’ (78.66 cm) closely followed...

Rapid population growth, worsening of the climate, and severity of freshwater scarcity are global challenges. In Arab world countries, where water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, the recycling of industrial wastewater could improve the efficiency of freshwater use. The benchmarking of scientific output of industrial wastewater research in the Arab world is an initiative that could s...

In Egypt, the Water Quality of fresh waterways, especially those receiving wastewater from agricultural drainage such as El-Salam Canal is every, now, and then, precarious for some water use. Although, Egypt relies on this marginal quality in order to cover resulting gap between needs supply. The reuse appears be one most promising, practical, economical means increasing Egyptian budget which G...

Heavy metal (HM) accumulation in soil and plants can occur when water contaminated with HMs is used as a source of irrigation (El-Salam Canal, Egypt). In this study, the effect watering potato crop sandy from polluted under flood (FI), sprinkler (SI), surface drip (DI) on transport copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) root zone was experimentally investigated. HM concentrations pla...

We use generating functions to express orthogonality relations in the form of q-beta integrals. The integrand of such a q-beta integral is then used as a weight function for a new set of orthogonal or biorthogonal functions. This method is applied to the continuous q-Hermite polynomials, the Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials, and the polynomials of Szegő and leads naturally to the Al-Salam-Chihara p...
