This paper addresses discourse structure from the perspective of understanding. It would perhaps help us understand the na,ture of discourse relatiolls il" we better understood what units of a text. can be related to one a.nother. In Olle ma.jor theory of discourse structure, Rhetorical Structure Theory (Mann &: Thompson 1988; Imrea.l'ter simply RS'T), the smallest possible linguistic units tha...

A chirp signal x(t) = e j2π ct2 2 = A(t)e jθ(t) has instantaneous frequency fx(t) = ct units of Hz (or radians, etc.) so instantaneous frequency for a linear FM chirp is a linear function of time t. The frequency is increasing linearly with time, with slope c. Note: if there are more than one simultaneous frequency components, at a particular time, then it is hard to analyze this way. But OK fo...

We present a simple and novel assay-employing a universal molecular beacon (MB) in the presence of Hg(2+)-for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on Hg(2+)-DNA complexes inducing a conformational change in the MB. The MB (T(7)-MB) contains a 19-mer loop and a stem of a pair of seven thymidine (T) bases, a carboxyfluorescein (FAM) unit at the 5'-end, and a 4-([4-(dimeth...

A report on the execution of 2019–2021 strategic plans and their control was presented at ICAC international organization's annual conference October 1, 2020. Also, it reported that output capacity these businesses factories plummeted by 75% in nations like Vietnam, Bangladesh, India. The global climate change, emergence new races disease-causing agents numerous damages caused harmful insects i...

We used 21 monoclonal antibodies (PAbs 100 to 117, 405, 419, and KT3) specific for different determinants in simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen (T) and one antibody specific for p53 that coprecipitates T complexed with p53 (T-p53) to analyze T in SV40-infected CV1 cells. We measured the ATPase specific activity, extent of adenylylation, and p53 content of T precipitated by antibodies direct...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of recalibration of the Roche 3rd-generation cTnT assay with recombinant human cardiac troponin T (cTnT) standards on clinical decision limits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum samples from 77 patients (66 +/- 16 years) admitted to the coronary care unit were assayed using the 2nd- and 3rd-generation cTnT assays. RESULTS There was excellent agreement (r = 0.99 Spea...

OBJECTIVE To assess the quality of neonatal transport performed by the Mobile Emergency Medical Services (Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência [SAMU]). METHODS This was a cross-sectional before-and-after observational study. The study was carried out from March to August of 2013 using a validated instrument, the Transport Risk Index of Physiologic Stability (TRIPS), to assess the characte...
