A microbial strategy to multiply in macrophages: the pregnant pause.
Humans live in harmony with much of the microbial world, thanks to a sophisticated immune system. As the first line of defense, macrophages engulf, digest, and display foreign material, then recruit specialists to eliminate potential threats. Yet infiltrators exist: certain fungi, viruses, parasites, and bacteria thrive within sentinel macrophages. By scrutinizing the life styles of these shrew...
متن کاملTwo transcription pause elements underlie a σ70-dependent pause cycle.
The movement of RNA polymerase (RNAP) during transcription elongation is modulated by DNA-encoded elements that cause the elongation complex to pause. One of the best-characterized pause sequences is a binding site for the σ(70) initiation factor that induces pausing at a site near lambdoid phage late-gene promoters. An essential component of this σ(70)-dependent pause is the elemental pause si...

In conversation, negative responses to invitations, requests, offers, and the like are more likely to occur with a delay-conversation analysts talk of them as dispreferred. Here we examine the contrastive cognitive load 'yes' and 'no' responses make, either when relatively fast (300 ms after question offset) or delayed (1000 ms).

Why so little insight, so few reflective or truly helpful feature articles after a pause for thought? One answer is that, along with novelty, we all need topicality (real or apparent) to attract our attention to a news story....
متن کاملPause Duration and Variabil
Generating natural sounding synthetic speech from text requires a division of a text into IPs and assigning pauses between those phrases. A difficulty which faces attempts to model pauses quantitatively is high degree of variability exhibited by speakers in pause placement and duration. The present study seeks to investigate if Synchronous Speech (speech elicited when two speakers are asked to ...
