DNA oligonucleotides that anneal to form duplexes in specific, planned configurations are a basic construction material for DNA-based computers and nanotechnology. Unplanned duplex configurations introduce errors in computations and defects in structures, and thus, the sequences must be designed to minimize these effects. A software design tool has been developed that uses thermodynamic models ...

the aim of the current study was to examine the effect of metacognitive instruction on efl learners’ metacognitive awareness of listening strategies, listening comprehension, and oral language proficiency. fifty students of two upper-intermediate english courses participated in the study and were sampled as the experimental and control groups. for sixteen weeks the experimental group participat...

0272-1732/03/$17.00  2003 IEEE Published by the IEEE computer Society Achieving high performance in modern microprocessors requires a combination of exposing large amounts of instruction level parallelism (ILP) and processing instructions at a high clock frequency. Exposing maximum ILP requires the processor to operate concurrently on large numbers of instructions, also known as the instructio...

This article presents a form of teacher reasoning that we call proclivities for teaching mathematics. We define proclivities for teaching mathematics as the beliefs, knowledge, and dispositions that are actionable in the flow of instruction, and we argue that growth in this area contributes to positive change in mathematics instruction. Proclivities for teaching mathematics encompass four domai...

For a number of years, "process-product" re searchers have studied the relationship between teacher behaviors (process) and student achievement (product) with the hope of determining what teacher behaviors will lead to increases in student achieve ment and attitude. At last, this research has borne fruit. Several reviewers of process-product research have recently concluded that effective teach...

INTRODUCTION Survivors of critical illness experience multidimensional disabilities that reduce quality of life, and 25-30% require unplanned hospital readmission within 3 months following index hospitalisation. We aim to understand factors associated with unplanned readmission; develop a risk model to identify intensive care unit (ICU) survivors at highest readmission risk; understand the modi...
