Are fairy tales outdated to a modernised 21st century society? In 1976, clinical psychologist Professor Bruno Bettelheim wrote a book examining the power and utility of fairy tales in childhood development. Forty years later, his work maintains its importance. Through a Freudian lens, Bettelheim examines the emotional and symbolic facets of traditional children’s fairy tales alongside contempor...

family is one of the most important kernels of society that was noteworthy in all ages and marriage as the most essential step in the formation of this kernel has a special place among all generations. finding a partner who causes feeling fortune and happiness is most highlighted human's dream that man try to fulfill. the need for peace and prosperity in folk literature has a wide appearan...

Statistical coding techniques have been used for a long time in lossless data compression, using methods such as Hu man's algorithm, arithmetic coding, Shannon's method, Fano's method, etc. Most of these methods can be implemented either statically or adaptively. In this paper, we show that although Fano coding is suboptimal, it is possible to generate static Fano-based encoding schemes which a...

Since the early 1980s, composition studies has arrived at a broad consensus that it is important to understand how social contexts relate to the cognitive processes and individual behaviors involved in writing and reading texts, although within this broad consensus are various notions of context and of how contexts relate to processes and texts. Drawing on both structuralist and everyday accoun...

Three recent papers, published just weeks apart, describe the use of fluorescent TALEs to tag specific DNA sequences in live cells and, in one case, also in fixed cells, the latter with potential clinical applications.

TAL (transcription activator-like) effectors (TALEs) are bacterial proteins that are secreted from bacteria to plant cells to act as transcriptional activators. TALEs and related proteins (RipTALs, BurrH, MOrTL1 and MOrTL2) contain approximate tandem repeats that differ in conserved positions that define specificity. Using PERL, we screened ~47 million protein sequences for TALE-like architectu...

For many Christians there is a renewed urgency about what constitutes Christian belief, and why, or why not, it might be important to share aspects of this with others in a multi-faith, global context. Interwoven in this search are issues of biblical interpretation, Christology and Soteriology. One of the di1culties in the current discussion is this: whilst the “solution” may be presumed to be ...
