This study investigated students' actual use of mobile technology (MT) as a learning tool and identified their perceptions towards the effects of using MT on the learning process. It also examined the impact of students' academic major on their use and perceived effects of MT. The relationship between MT use and its effect on learning was explored as well. To this end, a quantitative study of p...

This paper describes usage of MT metrics in choosing the best candidates for MT-based query translation resources. Our main metrics is METEOR, but we also use NIST and BLEU. Language pair of our evaluation is English German, because MT metrics still do not offer very many language pairs for comparison. We evaluated translations of CLEF 2003 topics of four different MT programs with MT metrics a...

BACKGROUND In Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), the Motor Threshold (MT) is the minimum intensity required to evoke a liminal response in the target muscle. Because the MT reflects cortical excitability, the TMS intensity needs to be adjusted according to the subject's MT at the beginning of every TMS session. OBJECTIVE Shorten the MT estimation process compared to existing methods wit...

This study assessed the primary impacts of exogenous melatonin (MT) treatment on grape berry metabolism. Exogenous MT treatment increased the endogenous MT content and modified berry ripening. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the processes of polyphenol metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and ethylene biosynthesis and signaling were the three most significantly altered biological processes...

Despite the figure of complete bivalve mitochondrial genomes keeps growing, an assessment of the general features of these genomes in a phylogenetic framework is still lacking, despite the fact that bivalve mitochondrial genomes are unusual under different aspects. In this work, we constructed a dataset of one hundred mitochondrial genomes of bivalves to perform the first systematic comparative...

INTRODUCTION MT PROTEINS In historical reports, a protein with high affinity for heavy metals and unusual cysteine abundance was discovered in 1957 in the equine kidney, and the protein was named metallothionein (MT) due to its high content of metals and sulfur (Kägi and Vallee, 1960; Margoshes and Vallee, 1957). Over the years, it was shown that MT constitutes a superfamily of quite unusual pr...

The human mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) encodes 22 tRNAs (mt-tRNAs) that are necessary for the intraorganellar translation of the 13 mtDNA-encoded subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. Maturation of mt-tRNAs involves 5' and 3' nucleolytic excision from precursor RNAs, as well as extensive post-transcriptional modifications. Recent data suggest that over 7% of all mt-tRNA res...
