Investigating Variability in the Acquisition of English Functional Categories by L1 speakers of Latakian Syrian Arabic and L1 speakers of Mandarin Chinese
… that of the inconsistency in the production of functional morphology by advanced and endstate L2 learners. The level of inconsistency seems to vary among L2 learners, for instance, SD, a Turkish endstate learner of English (White 2003a) was highly accurate in the production of English …

Mansiones: a New Look at Mansio Archaeology in Light of San Miceli and Household Archaeology
… and descriptive studies in order to identify the functional characteristics of mansiones. Another has been the lack of any explicit method and theory for interpreting the functional characteristics of the archaeological data related to mansiones. Both of these factors have been observed in the …

Optimization, random resampling, and modeling in bioinformatics
… a resampling-based approach to obtain biological functional categories from gene set and apply the approach to analyze lithium-sensitivity of neurological diseases and cancer. Then, the non-parametrical permutation-based approach is applied to evaluate the performance of a GWAS modeling procedure. …

Clause structure in the development of child L2 English of L1 Arabic
… activation/assembly. A feature-based account of functional categories assumes that the language faculty provides a set of features and a computational tool that assembles these features into lexical items and expressions (Hawkins, 2005). In this system, formal features play a more important role …

Genomic characterization of Six1 function during skeletal muscle differentiation
… with MRFs by co-regulating gene expression. A functional genomics approach (ChIP-on-Chip) was used to identify targets directly bound by Six1 in the C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line at different stages of differentiation. I found that Six1 significantly targeted genes involved in several …

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 …

Genome-wide association study of persistent developmental stuttering
… fluent production of speech were investigated. Functional significance was found with relevance to three functional categories pertaining to neural development, neural function, and behavior. Many of the genes were also found to be implicated in other known neurological, behavioral, and speech …

Fusion: a Visualization Framework for Interactive Ilp Rule Mining With Applications to Bioinformatics
… relationships between gene-expression and their functional categories. Fusion is a software system that aids the biologists in performing microarray data analysis by providing them with both visual data exploration and data mining capabilities. Its multiple view visual framework allows the user …

Spanish-Speaking Learners' Acquisition of English VPE and WH-Extraction Out of VPE
… VPE descriptive properties (related to functional categories) to the L2=English VPE at an earlier stage of L2 acquisition, but at a later stage successfully reset the VPE parameter to English values. The other two experiments found that L1=Spanish adult learners successfully acquired the …

A methodological perspective on the use and organization of space: A case study of Hohokam structures from Snaketown, Arizona
… with the efficacy of pre-established functional categories for characterizing structure use and accounting for the variability present. In an effort to transcend the vague concept of house function categories of use-areas are defined which represent widespread regularities in the way …

Estudo da distribuição espaço-temporal da comunidade de larvas de Trichoptera Kirby, 1813 (Insecta) em um tributário de primeira ordem do rio Paquequer, Teresópolis, RJ
… and oviposition occur in spring. The trophic functional categories of Trichoptera beared a close relationship to substrate type: the maximum values of frequency and biomass were highest for shredders on litter from pools, collectors on litter from riffles, predators on sand and scrapers on …

Characterizing non-coding hits in genome-wide association studies using epigenetic data
… associated variants are enriched in a variety of functional categories even after controlling for various biases. We also find an unprecedented number of variants contribute to this enrichment, supporting our hypothesis that the architecture of these diseases involves combinatorial interaction of …

Ehrlichia chaffeensis TRP47 enters the nucleus via a MYND-binding domain-dependent mechanism and predominantly binds enhancers of host genes associated with signal transduction, cytoskeletal organization, and immune response
… identified multiple genes and gene functional categories in common including intracellular transport, cell signaling, and transcriptional regulation. Further, motif analysis followed by EMSA with synthetic oligonucleotides containing discovered motifs revealed a conserved TRP47 …

An evaluation of the urgency, similarity, and identification of aural alerts with implications for flight deck use
… revealed that subjects were able to associate functional categories with four aural alerting sets and were also able to simultaneously distinguish among and perceive three urgency levels within each of the alerting sets relatively well after participating in a brief training session.

Out of Prison: Towards a Poetic Freedom
… my path consists of abstract reflections on functional categories. Hence, my research focuses less on material than on its grammar and formal articulation. Accordingly, I concentrate on a thorough analysis of harmonic and rhythmic relations in my music, and on their implications within …

A study of the demographic characteristics of elementary assistant principals in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the tasks they perform
… Fifty task items were distributed across six functional categories including: community relations, curriculum and instruction, staff and personnel, student activities, school management, and student services. Conclusions based on the results of this study indicate the importance of the …

Computational methods for inferring regulatory mechanisms from sequence and expression variation
… non-coding variants can be annotated from more functional categories. To enable this, we modeled the expression of protein coding genes using lncRNAs with potential regulatory mechanisms and created a high confidence lncRNA-mRNA regulatory network.

Causativity in Chinese and its representations in English, Japanese and Korean speakers' L2 Chinese grammars.
… and compound causative constructions involve a functional category AspP. An empirical study is conducted to look into the mental representations of these Chinese verbs and constructions in English-, Japanese- and Korean-speaking learners' L2 Chinese grammars. The aim of the research is to find …
