In turn, these practices can increase the productivity of the bu...

These signs are used for the transliteration of the Arabic script into Gujarati by Ismaili Khoja communities. They are used for representing Arabic letters and signs for which correspondences do not exist in Gujarati. They were devised in the late 19th century and are standard elements of the Gujarati orthography used by the Ithnashari Khoja (“Twelver Shia”) and the Agakhani Khoja communities. ...

In cases in which there is no standard orthography for a language or language variant, written texts will display a variety of orthographic choices. This is problematic for natural language processing (NLP) because it creates spurious data sparseness. We study the transformation of spontaneously spelled Egyptian Arabic into a conventionalized orthography which we have previously proposed for NL...

The epsilon toxin, produced by Clostridium perfringens, is responsible for enterotoxemia in ruminants and is a potential bioterrorism agent. In the present study, 15 regions of the toxin were recognized by antibodies present in the serum, with different immunodominance scales, and may be antigen determinants that can be used to formulate subunit vaccines.
