TL;DR: A comparative study of two machine learning methods on Arabic text categorization using the full word features and considered the tf.idf as the weighting method for feature selection, and CHI statistics as a ranking metric showed that both methods were of superior performance on the test corpus.

TL;DR: Ethanolic extracts of 18 medicinal plants traditionally used in Jordan for the treatment of gastric ulcers were evaluated for their possible anti-ulcer activity and the most active extract was that of Quercus coccifera, with a curative ratio of 99.5%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of water stress (WS) versus no WS (nonWS) and the AM fungus Glomus monosporum (AM vs nonAM) on growth, acquisition of phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe) were determined in two durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) cultivars exhibiting differences in resistance to WS.
Abstract: Plants colonized with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi generally have greater growth and acquisition of mineral nutrients, and often have greater ability to withstand drought compared to nonmycorrhizal (nonAM) plants. This study determined effects of water stress (WS) versus no WS (nonWS) and the AM fungus Glomus monosporum (AM vs nonAM) on growth, acquisition of phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe), and water use in two durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) cultivars exhibiting differences in resistance to WS. Plants were grown on soil [low P silty clay (Typic Xerochrept, pH=8.1)] and sand mixtures in a greenhouse. Shoot and root dry matter (DM), total root length (RL), and root colonization with AM for plants grown under non WS were higher than for plants grown under WS. Much of the reduction in DM was overcome by AM plants grown under WS. The ‘drought‐resistant’ wheat cultivar CR057 had higher AM root colonization than the ‘drought‐sensitive’ cultivar CR006 when ...

TL;DR: The AGORA (Antimicrobials: A Global Alliance for Optimizing their Rational Use in Intra-Abdominal Infections) project as discussed by the authors is an international task force from 79 different countries has joined this project by sharing a document on the rational use of antimicrobial therapy for patients with IAIs.
Abstract: Intra-abdominal infections (IAI) are an important cause of morbidity and are frequently associated with poor prognosis, particularly in high-risk patients. The cornerstones in the management of complicated IAIs are timely effective source control with appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Empiric antimicrobial therapy is important in the management of intra-abdominal infections and must be broad enough to cover all likely organisms because inappropriate initial antimicrobial therapy is associated with poor patient outcomes and the development of bacterial resistance. The overuse of antimicrobials is widely accepted as a major driver of some emerging infections (such as C. difficile), the selection of resistant pathogens in individual patients, and for the continued development of antimicrobial resistance globally. The growing emergence of multi-drug resistant organisms and the limited development of new agents available to counteract them have caused an impending crisis with alarming implications, especially with regards to Gram-negative bacteria. An international task force from 79 different countries has joined this project by sharing a document on the rational use of antimicrobials for patients with IAIs. The project has been termed AGORA (Antimicrobials: A Global Alliance for Optimizing their Rational Use in Intra-Abdominal Infections). The authors hope that AGORA, involving many of the world's leading experts, can actively raise awareness in health workers and can improve prescribing behavior in treating IAIs.
