Multi-Substrate Specificity and the Evolutionary Basis for Interdependence in tRNA Editing and Methy...

February 2019 · Frontiers in Genetics

Among tRNA modification enzymes there is a correlation between specificity for multiple tRNA substrates and heteromultimerization. In general, enzymes that modify a conserved residue in different tRNA sequences adopt a heterodimeric structure. Presumably, such changes in the oligomeric state of enzymes, to gain multi-substrate recognition, are driven by the need to accommodate and catalyze a ... [Show full abstract] particular reaction in different substrates while maintaining high specificity. This review focuses on two classes of enzymes where the case for multimerization as a way to diversify molecular recognition can be made. We will highlight several new themes with tRNA methyltransferases and will also discuss recent findings with tRNA editing deaminases. These topics will be discussed in the context of several mechanisms by which heterodimerization may have been achieved during evolution and how these mechanisms might impact modifications in different systems.

From BPEL to Event B

February 2009

Web services compositions are defined using languages supporting the descrip-tions of orchestration and choreography. BPEL is the most well known and used orchestration language. It describes the behavior of the process that specifies the composition of web ser-vices but it does not support verification and validation of behavioral requirements. In our work, we are interested in the formal ... [Show full abstract] validation of web services orchestrations. We propose a proof and refinement based approach for the formal representation, verification and validation of web services compositions using the Event B method. This paper presents the BPEL2B translator that automates the translation of BPEL into Event B models.

A very interesting aspect in Jane Austen’s Emma are the discussions that take place between the two main characters concerning the notion of ‘gentleman’. This article describes the process used by the translator to translate several problematic terms in one of these discussions, which was based on the analysis of the moral positions of each character and their diverging views on the ‘ideal ... [Show full abstract] gentleman’, in order to try to accurately reproduce these shades of meaning in the translation.

From Statistical Term Extraction to Hybrid Machine Translation

January 2011

This study presents a new hybrid approach for translation equivalent selection within a transfer-based machine translation sys-tem using an intertwined net of traditional linguistic methods together with statisti-cal techniques. Detailed evaluation reveals that the translation quality can be improved substantially in this way.

Overview of the IWSLT04 evaluation campaign

January 1970

This paper gives an overview of the evaluation campaign results of the IWSLT04 1 workshop, which is organized by the C-STAR 2 consortium to investigate novel speech transla-tion technologies and their evaluation. The objectives of this workshop is to provide a framework for the applicability vali-dation of existing machine translation evaluation methodolo-gies to evaluate speech translation ...

Repair Strategies Usage of Primary Elementary ESL Students: Implications for ESL Teachers

January 2010

Repair strategies are the ways in which students resolve conversational problems in speaking, hearing and understanding. While there is a plethora of research on college and adult students' repair strategies usage, limited research has been done on the repair strategies usage of elementary school students, more specifically, English as a Second Language (ESL) students. This article examines the ... [Show full abstract] repair strategies used by 5 ESL primary elementary students in grades 1-4. Data were collected from 24 class hours of video recordings. The results revealed that students used 9 types of repair strategies: 1. Unspecified 2. Interrogatives 3. (Partial) repeat 4. Partial repeat plus question word 5. Understanding check 6. Requests for repetition 7. Request for definition, translation or explanation 8. Correction 9. Nonverbal strategies Of the 9 types, students used understanding check 30% of the time and (partial) repeat 24% of the time.

To complement a new translation of his work, some of the observations and deductions made by É-A Martel in 1897 relating to Peak Cavern in the Derbyshire Peak District are revisited and discussed in the light of more recent knowledge.

The Fuglede Conjecture holds in \F_p^3 for p=5,7

February 2019 · Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society

For p=5,7, we show that a subset E \subset \F_p^3 is spectral if and only if E tiles \F_p^3 by translation. Additionally, we give an alternate proof that the conjecture holds for p=3.

205 Interactive Greenhouse Simulation (GHSIM) Translated from Quattro Pro to Microsoft Excel for Fle...

June 1999 · HortScience

Douglas A. Hopper

Improvements to computer software and advancing technology made it necessary to convert the computer greenhouse simulation model, GHSIM, to a new application for operation across a greater number of platforms. Originally, economics and internal organization compatibility led to use of spreadsheet Quattro Pro. Standard features were relative and absolute references, multiple pages for topic ... [Show full abstract] organization, random event generation, and graphing of calculated trends. However, Quattro Pro contained many convenient features, yet proprietory, which were not readily converted: certain formats for graphing trends, recursive formulas, cross page referencing, buttons, macros for dynamic time execution, and floating toolbars that actually changed between old and newer versions (v.5.0 vs. v.7.0). Translation from Quattro Pro v.5.0 to Microsoft Excel 97 produced tedious page by page (worksheet) conversions, loss of buttons and macros, distorted/unreadable graphs, nonexistent toolbars, and, most troubling, obscure problems with recursive execution causing Excel to crash amid nondescript error messages and a core dump. All these were eventually resolved; current efforts seek to reach other platforms, including MacIntosh and the Internet.
