English words on the Procrustean bed: Polysyllabic shortening reconsidered
The polysyllabic shortening hypothesis holds that the duration of a primary stressed syllable is inversely proportional to the number of additional syllables within the word. We examine the evidence for this process in British English speech by measuring the duration of primary stressed syllables in monosyllabic, disyllabic and trisyllabic words, both right-headed series – e.g. mend, commend, r...
متن کاملOptimal hematocrit: a Procrustean bed for maximum oxygen transport rate?
PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS are characterized by multiple interdependent components that collectively subserve various processes and functions. In seeking better understanding of the performance of such complex systems, we must identify and evaluate alternative ways and operating schemes, comparing their predicted performance with goals or objectives of interest. Optimization entails selecting a bett...
متن کاملViral RNA Silencing Suppression: The Enigma of Bunyavirus NSs Proteins
The Bunyaviridae is a family of arboviruses including both plant- and vertebrate-infecting representatives. The Tospovirus genus accommodates plant-infecting bunyaviruses, which not only replicate in their plant host, but also in their insect thrips vector during persistent propagative transmission. For this reason, they are generally assumed to encounter antiviral RNA silencing in plants and i...
متن کاملRNA based viral silencing suppression in plant pararetroviruses
The 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus and that of other plant pararetroviruses gives rise to an RNA, which is both a pre-genome and a polycistronic mRNA. The 600 nucleotide long very structured leader of this RNA is also transcribed separately. The resulting 8S RNA is then converted to a double strand giving rise to a huge set of siRNAs, which suppress silencing. In this Mini-Review I di...
متن کاملRNA silencing
RNA silencing is a newly discovered mechanism of genetic regulation in eukaryotes. It is based on an immune system that protects eukaryotes against viruses and transposons and in some respects it is conceptually similar to classical humoral immunity. However RNA silencing is distinct from humoral immunity in that it only targets nucleic acids and has a specificity mechanism based on nucleic aci...
