Transcription factors (TFs) bind to the regulatory regions of genes in a cooperative manner. This article describes a method to detect pairs of transcription factor binding sites which co-occur in known regulatory regions more often than expected by mere combination of the individual binding sites. We determine frequently co-occurring TF pairs and evaluate the method using known TF interactions...

Reading comprehension has recently been reconceptualized in EFL reading instruction to foreground the importance of putting a social perspective on learning. Developed as a crucial aspect of Vygotskian sociocultural theory, activity theory views reading as a socially-mediated activity, for which the prerequisite cognitive processes are distributed among teacher, individual reader, other student...

The present study compared the effect of cooperative group feedback and cooperative group writing techniques in writing classes. Accordingly, 90 male and female intermediate English language learners sat for a sample piloted Preliminary English Test and 60 who scored one standard deviation above and below the mean were selected as the main participants. Both groups were taught the same course b...

Co-operatives play a major role in the agricultural and food industry. Co-operatives, by the very nature, are producer-oriented firms. As market conditions for food products have changed in recent decades, the question is raised whether co-operatives are still efficient organisations for carrying transaction with agrifood products? Bijman (2002) has addressed this question for the fresh produce...

By using case study method, this research examines the SEUBGI cooperative education model. What is the co-op model and how the model works in BGI are the two research questions. Materials were collected from multiple sources. Results show that the SEU-BGI cooperative education is comprehensive in mission and goals, institutional and structural commitment, learning outcomes, curriculum plan, act...

In this paper, an original framework to model human-machine spoken dialogues is proposed to deal with co-adaptation between users and Spoken Dialogue Systems in non-cooperative tasks. The conversation is modeled as a Stochastic Game: both the user and the system have their own preferences but have to come up with an agreement to solve a non-cooperative task. They are jointly trained so the Dial...

Work consciousness plays an important role in creating the structure, behavior and function of the organization; under its shadow, structural factors of the organization are formed and it has an impact on behavioral factors (content, culture, values, perception and motivation). This study tries to investigate the relation between work consciousness and organizational identity and health. The me...
