Lexis and Grammar of Mitochondrial RNA Processing in Trypanosomes

Universal Grammar and Lexis for Quick Ramp-Up of MT

This paper introduces Boas, a semi-automatic knowledge elicitation system that guides a team of two people through the process of developing the static knowledge sources for a moderate-quality, broad-coverage MT system from any "low-density" language into English in about six months. The paper focuses on some issues in the elicitation of descriptive knowledge in Boas and also the issue of the p...

critical period effects in foreign language learning:the influence of maturational state on the acquisition of reading,writing, and grammar in english as a foreign language

since the 1960s the age effects on learning both first and second language have been explored by many linguists and applied linguists (e.g lennerberg, 1967; schachter, 1996; long, 1990) and the existence of critical period for language acquisition was found to be a common ground of all these studies. in spite of some common findings, some issues about the impacts of age on acquiring a second or...

RNA-binding proteins in trypanosomes

Background: Trypanosomes mostly control gene expression by post-transcriptional events such as modulation of mRNA stability and translational efficiency. These mechanisms involve RNAbinding proteins (RBPs), which associate with transcripts to form messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) complexes. Results: In this study, we report the identification of mRNA targets for Trypanosoma cruzi U-rich RBP 1...

the comparative impact of prompts and recasts in processing instruction versus meaningful output-based instruction on efl learners’ writing accuracy

the purpose of the present study was to see which one of the two instruction-processing instruction (pi) and meaningful output based instruction (mobi) accompanied with prompt and recast- is more effective on efl learners’ writing accuracy. in order to homogenize the participants in term of language proficiency a preliminary english test (pet) was administrated between 74 intermediate students ...
