As a popular genre of medieval English literature, fabliau is short, bawdy, and humorous story the adultery young wife who married to an old husband. In Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer includes Merchant’s Tale as in which May, January, engaged extramarital affair. May’s representation adulterous lecherous seems reinforce antifeminist claims genre; however, at same time her active participati...

Gathering from her perspective on over 2000 information projects and products completed over the last forty years, Marjorie Hlava offers a fascinating view of database creation and search using developing technologies, and information technology standards. As an early implementer of most of the technologies we use and products we all sell today, and having worked behind the scenes at one time o...

This paper describes the work being done in maintaining the Canterbury Corpus website, and in particular the process of automating results generation. We investigate the popularity and usefulness of the Canterbury Corpus as a data compression standard, and propose several areas for further research and development of the current system.

BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has increased exponentially in industrialized nations over the last 50 years. Previous New Zealand studies have shown that IBD is less common than in other countries; however, clinical observations suggested a high incidence and prevalence of IBD in Canterbury, particularly Crohn's disease (CD). AIM This study aimed to determine the descriptive epid...

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs), secreted by the pathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas, specifically activate expression of targeted genes in plants. Here, we designed synthetic TALEs that bind to the flanking regions of the TATA-box motif on the CaMV 35S promoter for the purpose of understanding the engineerable 'hot-spots' for increasing transgene expression. We demonstrated that tra...

“thousand and one night” –with 251 narratives- is the best example of distinct storytelling in indian and iranian cultures. perhaps, it is the most voluminous story collection which has so far attracted researchers and theorist of narratology. narratology is a dynamic branch of literary theory. its final goal is discovering universal pattern of narrative. narrative is a closed chain of ev...

This article presents the affinity existing between the female dream narrative and the fairy tale genre. Although a large body of material has already been written about the connection between fairy tales and dreams, it has never been examined empirically using the tools and methods with which fairy tales have been studied. This article focuses on one dream narrative, documented in the framewor...

Plant pathogenic bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas possess transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) that activate transcription of disease susceptibility genes in the host, inducing a state of disease. Here we report that some isolates of the rice pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae use truncated versions of TALEs (which we term interfering TALEs, or iTALEs) to overcome disease resistance. In com...
