from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Examples from Integrating Systems Research into Undergraduate Curriculum

In this paper we motivate and discuss the use of examples drawn from computer systems research for use in the classroom. We describe three case studies used in an advanced undergraduate course covering large software system design. The case studies document situations we have encountered while designing and implementing performance modeling infrastructure and benchmark applications for use in o...

Fungal biology: Growing into the air

For microorganisms to colonize terrestrial habitats they must evolve effective mechanisms to prevent water loss from their cells. This is imperative, not only for them to subsist in the same environment during changeable prevailing conditions, but also for their offspring to spread to new habitats. Considering the overriding importance of this evolutionary adaptation to living on land, we know ...
