Common Genetic Determinants of Lung Function, Subclinical Atherosclerosis and Risk of Coronary Artery Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) independently associates with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), but it has not been fully investigated whether this co-morbidity involves shared pathophysiological mechanisms. To identify potential common pathways across the two diseases, we tested all recently published single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with human l...

Newly identified families of human endogenous retroviruses.

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) make up approximately 8.3% of the human genome (12). HERVs have previously been classified into 31 distinct families based upon sequence alignment of reverse transcriptase (RT) and envelope domains and subsequent phylogenetic analyses (1, 9, 16). Using the data mining program LTR_STRUC (13) in conjunction with conventional sequence homology techniques, we r...

‏‎interpersonal function of language in subtitling

‏‎translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...
