Signed utterances are densely packed with pointing signs, reaching a frequency of one in six signs in spontaneous conversations (de Vos, 2012; Johnston, 2013a; Morford & MacFarlane, 2003). These pointing signs attain a wide range of functions and are formally highly diversified. Based on corpus analysis of spontaneous pointing signs in Kata Kolok, a rural signing variety of Bali, this paper arg...

Previous work has shown that the katX gene encodes the major catalase in dormant spores of Bacillus subtilis but that this enzyme has no role in dormant spore resistance to hydrogen peroxide. Expression of a katX-lacZ fusion began at approximately h 2 of sporulation, and >75% of the katX-driven b-galactosidase was packaged into the mature spore. A mutation in the gene coding for the sporulation...

DURING the experimental comparison of difEerent types of hot-water heating systems in a school at Easter 1934 about a thousand kata readings were taken. These were taken mostly in pairs, one immediately after the other, and a third reading was taken only when the first two differed by more than about 10 per cent. The standard deviation of the difference between the first and second kata cooling...
