Research has shown that language teachers typically feel underprepared for assessment aspects of their job. One reason may relate to how teacher education programmes prepare future in this area. insights into and what extent educators train matters are scarce, however, as the literacy (LAL) themselves. Additionally, while increasingly research available on components constitute LAL, such interr...

Light affine logic (LAL) is a formal system derived from linear logic that is claimed to correspond, through the Curry-Howard Isomorphism, to the class PTIME of polytime functions. The completeness of the system with respect to PTIME has been proven by embedding different presentations of PTIME into LAL. The dual property of polytime soundness, on the other hand, has been stated and proven in a...

Selection lines of mice, artificially selected for aggression based upon the attack latency score (ALS), were used. In order to determine the relative contribution of neonatal testosterone (T) in the development of aggression, we vary the plasma-T level in males of both selection lines on the day of birth. At 14 weeks the ALS was measured. Neonatal T treatment results in a reduction of aggressi...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) represents a significant reservoir of carbon within the global carbon cycle that has been estimated to account for 1,200–1,550 Pg C to a depth of 1 m and for 2370–2450 Pg C to a depth of 2 m (Eswaran et al. 1995; Lal 2004a). Comparative estimates of organic C contained in living biomass (560 Pg) and atmospheric CO2-C (760 Pg) (Lal 2004a) indicate that variations in the...

OBJECTIVE To estimate clinical progression and resource utilisation together with the associated costs of managing children and adults with LAL Deficiency, at a tertiary referral centre in the UK. METHODS A retrospective chart review was undertaken of patients in the UK with a confirmed diagnosis of LAL Deficiency who were managed at a LAL Deficiency tertiary referral treatment centre. Patien...

LAL regulators (Large ATP-binding regulators of the LuxR family) constitute a poorly studied family of transcriptional regulators. Several regulators of this class have been identified in antibiotic and other secondary metabolite gene clusters from actinomycetes, thus they have been considered pathway-specific regulators. In this study we have obtained two disruption mutants of LAL genes from S...

Nature abounds in producing a variety of molecules. This is good thing, however, endotoxin detection requirement for an analytical assay “specificity”. Unfortunately, LAL has been found to be increasingly non-specific since the inception its use lieu rabbit pyrogen test. Fortunately, there are viable workarounds terms using Limulus-based testing where non-endotoxin reactive substance false-reac...
