The present study investigates how advice writers employ move sequences and modal verbs to achieve intended discourse functions. This paper aims to testify two research hypotheses: 1. Advice writers of different topics employ different moves and modal verbs to achieve discourse function, and 2. The differences may imply writers’ intentions, emotion and expectancy of effects on the readers to in...

New binary and ternary sequences with low correlation and simple implementation are presented. The sequences are unfolded from arrays, whose columns are cyclic shifts of a short sequence or constant columns and whose shift sequence (sequence of column shifts) has the distinct difference property. It is known that a binary m-sequence/GMW sequence of length 2 − 1 can be folded row-by-row into an ...

(Continued from Page 1, Columns) and Kappa Beta, freak show, Commons. All groups must have a representative at the school by 10 a.m., tomorrow morning to start work on their booth. Each organization must send at least one representative to help clean up Sunday morning at 10 a.m. Freshman girls have 12:30 hours tomorrow night for the Fair. Potter Club will present the opening show in the Auditor...

1 Markov Random Field Model The following section will outline the mathematical model in our contact prediction method that is essentially identical to the plmDCA (Ekeberg et al., 2013) and GREMLIN (Kamisetty et al., 2013) methods. We eliminate transitive interactions in the observed interaction network by learning a generative model of the MSA using a Markov Random Field (MRF). Assuming we hav...

The DNAMultipleAlignment RNAMultipleAlignment and AAMultipleAlignment classes allow users to represent groups of aligned DNA, RNA or amino acid sequences as a single object. The frame of reference for aligned sequences is static, so manipulation of these objects is confined to be non-destructive. In practice, this means that these objects contain slots to mask ranges of rows and columns on the ...

We describe a statistical method to determine if a pair of columns in a multiple alignment of a homologous family of RNA sequences shows evidence of being base paired. The method makes explicit use of a given phylogenetic tree for the sequences in the alignment. It is tested on a multiple alignment of 16S rRNA sequences with good results.

One of the most relevant questions regarding the function of the nervous system is how sensory information is represented in populations of cortical neurons. Despite its importance, the manner in which sensory-evoked activity propagates across neocortical layers and columns has yet not been fully characterized. In this study, we took advantage of the distinct organization of the rodent barrel c...

Abstract In this work we present a methodology for synthesizing sequences of columns that combine both, the heat integrated and the thermally coupled distillation columns. As a consequence it is possible to design systems capturing simultaneously the advantages of these two approaches. A superstructure based on separation tasks rather in actual columns is proposed. This approach is more flexibl...
