Recurring Utterances - Targeting a Breakthrough

Recurring and Non-Recurring Congestion

A discussion of the causes and impacts of recurring and non-recurring congestion accompanied with a review of potential solutions and existing examples. While congestion is a broad and subjective matter, research focused on the separate causes of recurring congestion – mainly capacity and behavioral issues – and non-recurring congestion – mainly incidents which cause unexpected congestion and t...

Vodcast: A Breakthrough in Developing Incidental Vocabulary Learning

Incidental vocabulary learning is often seen as superior to direct instruction on many occasions. Meanwhile, upon the emergence of the World Wide Web, second language (SL) learners have been introduced to 'podcasts' (recorded audio and video online broadcasts) which could be authentic sources of vocabulary learning. The relatively recent phenomenon of video podcast (vodcast) might be considered...

Breakthrough Technologies Coordinate Expression and Independent Subcellular Targeting of Multiple Proteins from a Single Transgene

A variety of conventional methods allow the expression of multiple foreign proteins in plants by transgene stacking or pyramiding. However, most of these approaches have significant drawbacks. We describe a novel alternative, using a single transgene to coordinate expression of multiple proteins that are encoded as a polyprotein capable of dissociating into component proteins on translation. We...

Clarifying Utterances

The paper argues for the importance of utterances (as opposed to \sen-tences in context") as basic units in dialogue. The main case study is clar-iication: a characterization is provided within KOS, a recently developed synthesis of situation semantics and dialogue games, of the clariications that can follow up on an utterance. This involves outlining: (a) a theory of understanding for dialogue...
