Computational Prediction of Functional Elements through Comparative Genomics
… the evolution and organization of the genomic functional elements is one of the most important goals of genomic studies. The complexity of the functional information encoded in the genome sequences and the variabilities of the manners of encoding the information make it a very challenging task. …

Evolutionary signatures for unearthing functional elements in the human transcriptome
… genomics is a powerful method for identifying functional genetic elements by their evolutionary patterns across species. However, current studies largely focus on analysis of genome sequences. The recent development of RNA-sequencing reveals dimensions of regulatory information previously …

Analysis of essential structural and functional elements in the GTP-regulated signal recognition particle cycle
I have investigated signal recognition particle (SRP)-mediated protein targeting using a combination of genetic, biochemical, and molecular sequence analysis techniques. First, I consider the SRP cycle from the perspective of molecular evolution. This analysis provides insight into the significance …

Functional elements of the promoter, leader and intergenic spacer regions of ribosomal RNA operon(s) of mycobacteria
… rrn operon were sequenced, their promoter elements were identified by primer extension experiments and by comparison with E.coli consensus promoter sequences. Their function was tested in E.coli and M. smegmatis. The sequences of the leader and intergenic spacer regions from eight and six …

A general framework for genome interpretation using evolutionary signatures
… challenges to be solved is to identify the functional elements in our genome: the small subsequences containing units of biological function. Work has been done to computationally identify specific functional elements such as protein coding genes [11], RNA genes [17], microRNA genes [16], …

An exploration of the influence of sensemaking on the process and outcomes of postmerger integration. Case studies in four manufacturing companies
… over time and on the influence of human functional factors on the process and the outcomes of the mergers reviewed. A qualitative case-study approach is adopted with sixteen in-depth semistructured interviews in four post-merger organisations. The analysis of the collected primary data is …

The Petersburg Text of Russian Cinema in Perestroika and Post-Perestroika Eras
… these films share the same so-called ‘functional elements’ that concern representation of space, time and protagonist (or more generally speaking, character). These functional elements work like building blocks in forming the narratives of the films, just as symbols do in a myth. In …

Event structure and the encoding of arguments : the syntax of the Mandarin and English verb phrase
(cont.) to variations in the way functional elements interact with verbal roots. Overall, my work not only contributes to our understanding of how events are syntactically represented, but also explicates interactions at the syntax-semantics interface, clarifying the relationship between surface …

An Analysis of the Argumentative Writing Skills of Academically Underprepared College Students
… college remedial students are inclusive of functional argumentative elements, coherent, cohesive, and of high quality; and (2) to determine to what extent the written components (i.e., coherence, cohesion, inclusion of functional elements, length) and demographic characteristics of the …

Three Subcategories of Nouns in Japanese
… the syntax. Second, they lead to the view that functional elements are morphologically realized either as suffixes or as separate words in Japanese (see Fukui and Takano 1998). Third, they corroborate the claim that predicates formed in the syntax as well as in the lexicon assign theta roles and …

Architecture as Performance: The Trace of Performance with Ambiguities of Spatial Sequence
… utility. This thesis explores one aspect of this functional ‘excess’ by conceiving the immediate and intimate relationship between architectural space and its occupant as a kind of performance, enacted by the user, but implicit within the architecture. Such a position proposes that the …

Mixed-Mode Control Interfaces of Mobile Robot Teams
… visually resembles a video game and contains the functional elements of traditional robot control software, was designed and implemented using the ROS software framework. Unlike previous interfaces in the literature, our interface allows the user to control more than one robot and supports …

Supervisory methodology and notation (SUPERMAN) for human-computer system development
… operation. The methodology views humans as functional elements of a system in addition to computer elements. Parts of software which implement human-computer interaction are separated from the rest of software. A single, unified system representation is used throughout a system lifecycle. …

La adquisición de la categoría funcional determinante y los sustantivos nulos del español infantil.
… a number of studies focus on the presence of functional categories (e.g. the Determiner Phrase) versus lexical categories (e.g. nouns) in the first stages of primary and non primary language acquisition. In this thesis we analyze three different types of data from L1 and L2 Spanish in order to …

Predicting enhancer regions and transcription factor binding sites in D. melanogaster
… project aims to comprehensively identify functional elements in the C. elegans and D. melanogaster genomes. The genome- wide binding locations of all known transcription factors as well as of other DNA- binding proteins are currently being mapped within the context of this project [8]. The …

The Malay house : rationale and change
… from the analysis of its physical, spatial and functional elements and the variations that these elements exhibit. Tho rules are tested in the reconstruction of the Malay house. Changes based on hypothetical cases are then introduced to find out how the house would transform under these new sets …

Analysis of DNA-binding Proteins in Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
… of multiple proteins with promoter and enhancer elements. A variety of approaches are currently used to study these interactions in vivo, in vitro as well as in silico. With the genome sequences of many organisms now readily available, a plethora of DNA functional elements have been predicted, …
