چکیده

English teachers are frequently asked to help colleagues prepare presentations for internationalconferences. Sometimes this assistance takes the form of a language course or tutorials focusingon the spoken language. Contact time is short but the participants are highly motivated. Whattype of pronunciation work will provide the greatest payoff in terms of successfully beingunderstood when speaking English to an international audience? Given the current debate onnorms and varieties – spurred on by the work of Jenkins (2000, 2002, 2007) and other proponentsof English as a Lingua Franca – how can teachers ground their course design in research? Thispaper addresses a variety of issues concerning the design of pronunciation courses which focuson maximum intelligibility for both native speakers and non-native speakers. Reference is madeto an exploratory study of a particular course for researchers in applied linguistics, in order toillustrate some of the issues. Directions for further research are described. Les enseignants d’anglais sont fréquemment appelés à aider leurs collègues à préparer descommunications pour des colloques internationaux. Parfois, cette aide prend la forme de coursde langue, ou encore de séances individuelles, centrés sur l’oral. Si le temps d’échange esttoujours restreint, les participants témoignent d’une grande motivation pour participer à cestravaux. Comment optimiser un travail axé sur la prononciation dans la perspective d’êtrecompris en anglais par un auditoire international ? Face au débat actuel sur les normes et lesvariétés de l’anglais, impulsé par Jenkins (2000, 2002, 2007) et d’autres promoteurs de l’anglais entant que Lingua Franca, comment mieux fonder ces pratiques pédagogiques ? Cette contributiontraite de plusieurs questions concernant la conception d’un cours d’anglais parlé qui prend pourobjectif une intelligibilité maximale auprès d’un public tant natif que non natif. Afin de traitercette problématique, une étude préliminaire relative à un cours d'anglais ciblé sur un public dechercheurs en linguistique et en didactique est présentée. Des pistes pour des recherchesultérieures sont également proposées.

cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase HSPDE4D3 mutants which mimic activation and changes in rolipram inhibition triggered by protein kinase A phosphorylation of Ser-54: generation of a molecular model.

Ser-13 and Ser-54 were shown to provide the sole sites for the protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation of the human cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase isoform HSPDE4D3. The ability of PKA to phosphorylate and activate HSPDE4D3 was mimicked by replacing Ser-54 with either of the negatively charged amino acids, aspartate or glutamate, within the consensus motif of RRES54. The PDE4 selective ...

Contributions of conserved residues at the gating interface of glycine receptors.

Glycine receptors (GlyRs) are chloride channels that mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission and are members of the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel (pLGIC) family. The interface between the ligand binding domain and the transmembrane domain of pLGICs has been proposed to be crucial for channel gating and is lined by a number of charged and aromatic side chains that are highly conserved am...

Attenuation markers of a candidate dengue type 2 vaccine virus, strain 16681 (PDK-53), are defined by mutations in the 5' noncoding region and nonstructural proteins 1 and 3.

The genome of a candidate dengue type 2 (DEN-2) vaccine virus, strain PDK-53, differs from its DEN-2 16681 parent by nine nucleotides. Using infectious cDNA clones, we constructed 18 recombinant 16681/PDK-53 viruses to analyze four 16681-to-PDK-53 mutations, including 5' noncoding region (5'NC)-57 C-to-T, premembrane (prM)-29 Asp-to-Val (the only mutation that occurs in the structural proteins)...

Introducing critical residues in the human prion protein and its Asp 178 Asn mutant by molecular dynamics simulation

The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method is used to assess structural details for humanprion protein (hereafter PrPN) and its Asp178 Asn mutant (hereafter PrPm) which causes fatalfamilial insomnia disease. The results reveal that the flexibility and instability increase in PrPmcould be related to specific amino acids exposed to the solvent. Solvation free energy of PrPm is 20kjmot1nni2 mor...

Association between adherence to an antimicrobial stewardship program and mortality among hospitalised cancer patients with febrile neutropaenia: a prospective cohort study

BACKGROUND Initial management of chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropaenia (FN) comprises empirical therapy with a broad-spectrum antimicrobial. Currently, there is sufficient evidence to indicate which antibiotic regimen should be administered initially. However, no randomized trial has evaluated whether adherence to an antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) results in lower rates of mortalit...
