In this paper, we present the digitization and annotation of a tales corpus which is to our knowledge the only French tales corpus available and classified according to the Aarne&Thompson classification composed of historical texts (with old French parts). We first studied whether the pre-processing tools, namely OCR and PoS-tagging, have good enough accuracies to allow automatic analysis. We a...

In Japan, most of children haven’t read children’s story (Fairy tales or tales of old Japan) because the high technology video games are more exciting than most of picture books. But they must be effective to bring up the children’s cultivation of aesthetic sensitivity. And we have heard from teachers of elementary schools that most of themes of computer education in school are the operation of...

Xanthomonas TALE transcriptional activators act as virulence or avirulence factors by activating host disease susceptibility or resistance genes. Their specificity is determined by a tandem repeat domain. Some Xanthomonas pathogens contain 10-30 TALEs per strain. Although TALEs play critical roles in pathogenesis, their studies have so far been limited to a few examples, due to their highly rep...

Designer transcription-activator like effectors (TALEs) is a promising technology and made it possible to edit genomes with higher specificity. Such specific engineering and gene regulation technologies are also being developed using RNA-binding proteins like PUFs and PPRs. The main feature of TALEs, PUFs and PPRs is their repetitive DNA/RNA-binding domains which have single nucleotide binding ...

North Canterbury, New Zealand provides a well circumscribed population to study acute transverse myelitis. OBJECTIVE to identify prognostic features, clinical outcomes and incidence of ATM in North Canterbury, New Zealand. All patients with acute tra...
