Making Sense of Nonsense
… sincerity and humor, Making Sense of Nonsense attempts to identify deficient systems upon which we rely daily. Systems of logic, text, and visual language are all rife with flaws solely because their source--humankind--is irrevocably bound to error. This is not to say that these …

An analysis of György Ligeti's Nonsense Madrigals
… have written works called madrigals, Ligeti's Nonsense Madrigals are truly unique as exemplified by the myriad of influences that went into their creation, the technical challenges of their performance, and in the aesthetic result, one which is incomparable to most musical compositions past or …

Characterization of nonsense mediated mRNA decay in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a translation-coupled process that preferentially destroys mRNAs harboring premature translation termination codons (PTCs). In mammalian cells, NMD is linked to pre-mRNA splicing. Typically, PTCs elicit strong NMD only if positioned upstream of at least one …

Nonsense-mediated mRNA reduction and pre-mRNA processing in drosophila
… bacteria to mammalian cells, the presence of a nonsense mutation causes a reduction in the level of the mRNA of the corresponding gene. The reduction is not, contrary to initial expectations, due to a passive mechanism by which non translated mRNAs are degraded; rather it is a active process in …

Physiological role and quantitative aspects of human Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD)
Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a molecular pathway of mRNA surveillance that ensures the rapid degradation of mRNAs containing premature translation termination codons in all studied eukaryotes. Originally, NMD was thought of as a quality control pathway that targets non-functional mRNAs …

Challenging common sense about nonsense : an integrational approach to schizophrenic language behaviour
Due to certain fundamental flaws, orthodox linguistics has not succeeded in producing a coherent account of 'schizophrenic language' - the host of symptoms that are alternatively characterised as evidence of formal thought disorder or labelled as disorganised speech, a disorder in itself. The most …

Distributional semantic phrases vs. semantic distributional nonsense: Adjective Modification in Compositional Distributional Semantics
In this thesis, I study the ability of compositional distributional semantics to model adjective modification. I present three studies that explore the degree to which semantic intuitions are grounded in the distributional representations of adjective-noun phrases, as well as provide insight into …

The Literature of Verbal Nonsense in Lewis Carroll, Samuel Beckett and Eugène Ionesco
<p>Nonsense literature and nonsense poetry have provided release from the shackles of logic for centuries. But the greatest masters of English nonsense are Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. Carroll gives, in <em>Alice in Wonderland</em> and <em>Through the Looking-glass,</em> the principles underlying …

Isolation and characterization of Hupf1-containing protein complexes and their role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay
… codons (PTCs) are usually degraded by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway. The mechanism of NMD in mammals is largely unknown. The cytoplasmic protein Hupf1 was the only trans-acting factor of NMD in mammals that was known at the beginning of this study. In order to identify and …

Uma visita ao universo matemático de Lewis Carrol e o (re)encontro com sua lógica do nonsense

Teaching Children to Fluently Decode Nonsense Words in Lists: Generalized Effects to Oral Reading Fluency of Connected Text
… effects of training children to fluently blend nonsense words containing target vowel teams on their reading of untrained real words in lists and passages. Eight second-grade students participated. Nonsense words containing each of 3 target vowel teams (aw, oi, and au) were trained in lists, and …

Ear asymmetry : the differential effects of white noise on the perception of voiced and voiceless CV nonsense syllables.

A Study of Hemispheric Preference As It Relates to Reading and Recalling Nonsense Words from a Card Reader

Investigation of parameters of chromatin higher order structure and the making of multiply-acetylated histone H3 via nonsense suppression
… genetically encode acetyl-lysine residues using nonsense suppression. This strategy has been successfully applied to single sites of histone acetylation. However, because histone acetylation in nature can often occur at multiple sites simultaneously, we optimized procedures for recombinantly …
