EMBO Reports (ER): Many thanks for agreeing to talk with EMBO Reports about the fascinating topic of transposable element activity in the human genome. First of all, how did you become interested in this phenomenon? Fred Gage (FG): I first became aware of transposable elements approximately 14 years ago, when I was studying a gene that modifies fibroblast growth factor (FGF) transcription. This...

In this paper among many other things we prove that the topological left amenability and left amenability of a weighted hypergroup (K, ?) are equivalent. For a normal subgroup H of K, we define a weight function ?? on KIH and obtain connection between left amenability of (K, ?) and (K|H, ??). Let H be a compact subhypergroup of K. We define the weight function on K||H and obtain connection...

Let K be a (commutative) locally compact hypergroup with a left Haar measure. Let L1(K) be the hypergroup algebra of K and UCl(K) be the Banach space of bounded left uniformly continuous complex-valued functions on K. In this paper we show, among other things, that the topological (algebraic) center of the Banach algebra UCl(K)* is M(K), the measure algebra of K.

this study was set to reveal how second language learners use rhetorical relations in their written narratives in terms of rhetorical structure theory (rst) primarily proposed by mann & thompson (1987) and developed by mann, matthiessen & thompson (1992). to this end, sixty written narratives based on the picture story book ‘frog, where are you?’ were collected from efl learners and wer...

In our daily lives we assist to an exponential growth of mobile and fixed devices that surround us, though many of them having limited resources, and not even providing an interface screen. In this paper, we present remoteU¡, a middleware that allows the interaction of those devices with users, resorting to simple but expressive programming mechanisms, and providing efficient implementation and...
