Plants contain a nuclear gene family for plastid sigma factors, i.e., proteins that associate with the "bacterial-type" organellar RNA polymerase and confer the ability for correct promoter binding and transcription initiation. Questions that are still unresolved relate to the "division of labor" among members of the sigma family, both in terms of their range of target genes and their temporal ...

Yager et al. first introduce compensatory operators. This paper further introduces a kind of weighted compensatory operators, and a kind of prioritised compensatory operators. The difference between these similar classes of operators are identified. In addition, the paper introduces the concepts of ordered weighted/prioritised compensatory aggregation. Keywords—Compensatory aggregation, weight,...

this article addresses the perceptual correlates of compensatory lengthening in persian. in a perception experiment, duration, spectral tilt measurements h1-h2 and h1-f1 and f0 were varied in several steps based on the results from a production experiment (sadeghi, 2007). subjects were asked to identify the tokens involving vowel length. results revealed that duration is the most reliable perce...

Randomized response (RR) models are often used for analysing univariate randomized response data and measuring population prevalence of sensitive behaviours. There is much empirical support for the belief that RR methods improve the cooperation of the respondents. Recently, RR models have been extended to measure individual unidimensional behaviour. An extension of this modelling framework is p...
