Chinese tongue sole is a marine fish with ZW sex determination. Genome sequencing suggested that the Z-linked dmrt1 is a putative male determination gene, but direct genetic evidence is still lacking. Here we show that TALEN of dmrt1 efficiently induced mutations of this gene. The ZZ dmrt1 mutant fish developed ovary-like testis, and the spermatogenesis was disrupted. The female-related genes f...

Mycoplasma virus type 2 was shown to adsorb specifically to intact cells, membranes, and lipoglycan of Acholeplasma laidlawii strain JA1 but not to these components of Acholeplasma oculi. The oligosaccharide chain of the lipoglycan defined the specificity of the receptor site since deacylation not only did not reduce adsorption but increased it threefold. Actual adsorption of virus to lipoglyca...

We compute the Hochschild homology of Leavitt path algebras over a field k. As an application, we show that L2 and L2 ⊗ L2 have different Hochschild homologies, and so they are not Morita equivalent; in particular they are not isomorphic. Similarly, L∞ and L∞ ⊗ L∞ are distinguished by their Hochschild homologies and so they are not Morita equivalent either. By contrast, we show that K-theory ca...

Abstract: The problem of minimizing l2-sensitivity subject to l2-scaling constraints for two-dimensional (2-D) separable-denominator state-space digital filters is investigated. The coefficient sensitivity of the filter is analized by using a pure l2-norm. An iterative algorithm for minimizing an l2-sensitivity measure subject to l2-scaling constraints is then explored by introducing a Lagrange...

This study tests the ability of a group of Salento Italian undergraduate students that have been exposed to L2 in a scholastic context to perceive British English second language (L2) vowel phonemes. The aim is to verify if the Perceptual Assimilation Model could be applied to them. In order to test their ability to perceive L2 phonemes, subjects have executed an identification and an oddity di...

Despite the growing number of heritage language (HL) learners in courses, interaction between second (L2) and HL has not been fully explored research, thus, it still remains unclear whether mixed (L2-HL) or matched (L2-L2, HL-HL) dyads are more beneficial for learning. This study investigates three possible dyad types differ terms form-focused episodes (FFEs) that arose while worked together, a...

l2 learners’ multiple intelligences (mi) profile plays a central role in theirperformance on different aspects of language learning, one of which is the use oflanguage learning strategies (llss). gaining insights into the relationship betweenmi and llss makes l2 teachers better understand their learners’ strengths andweaknesses in the use of such strategies and lets them guide the learners bett...
