the role of task-based techniques on the acquisition of english language structures by the intermediate efl students
this study examines the effetivenss of task-based activities in helping students learn english language structures for a better communication. initially, a michigan test was administered to the two groups of 52 students majoring in english at the allameh ghotb -e- ravandi university to ensure their homogeneity. the students scores on the grammar part of this test were also regarded as their pre...
15 صفحه اولMeasuring the similarity of protein structures by means of the universal similarity metric
MOTIVATION As an increasing number of protein structures become available, the need for algorithms that can quantify the similarity between protein structures increases as well. Thus, the comparison of proteins' structures, and their clustering accordingly to a given similarity measure, is at the core of today's biomedical research. In this paper, we show how an algorithmic information theory i...
متن کاملCompression ratios based on the Universal Similarity Metric still yield protein distances far from CATH distances
Motivation: Kolmogorov complexity has inspired several alignmentfree distance measures, based on the comparison of lengths of compressions, which have been applied successfully in many areas. One of these measures, the so-called Universal Similarity Metric (USM), has been used by Krasnogor and Pelta to compare simple protein contact maps, showing that it yielded good clustering on four small da...
متن کاملClassification based on 3-similarity
Similarity concept, finding the resemblance or classifying some groups of objects and study their common properties has been the interest of many researchers. Basically, in the studies the similarity between two objects or phenomena, 2-similarity in our words, has been discussed. In this paper, we consider the case when the resemblance or similarity among three objects or phenomena of a set, 3-...
متن کاملRelation Between RNA Sequences, Structures, and Shapes via Variation Networks
Background: RNA plays key role in many aspects of biological processes and its tertiary structure is critical for its biological function. RNA secondary structure represents various significant portions of RNA tertiary structure. Since the biological function of RNA is concluded indirectly from its primary structure, it would be important to analyze the relations between the RNA sequences and t...
