Several proteins interact either to activate or repress the expression of other genes during transcription. Based on the impact of these activities, the proteins can be classified into readers, modifier writers, and modifier erasers depending on whether histone marks are read, added, or removed, respectively, from a specific amino acid. Transcription is controlled by dynamic epigenetic marks wi...

Virtual campus environments are becoming a mainstream alternative to traditional distance higher education. The Internet medium they use allows the gathering of information on students’ usage behaviour. The knowledge extracted from this information can be fed back to the e-learning environment to ease teachers’ workload. In this context, two problems are addressed in the current study: finding ...

the law of prohibition of unfair competition prohibits any deed or action which is against the normal competition in the market. before emergence of special laws for protection of intellectual property rights, including trademarks, such right could be protected either by tort law claims or law of unfair competition. however, the law of prohibition of unfair competition covers a wider area than ...

The Internet is an iconoclastic system which has introduced exciting new concepts in commerce and communications, whilst upsetting a number of traditional principles, including principles associated with intellectual property law. Intellectual property is a term coined to describe to the collective set of exclusive rights which creators can obtain for their works. The rights are provided by pat...

Traditional 3d modeling software utilizes a complex interface that restricts free conceptual thinking. We have developed an alternative approach that is based on making marks with the body in space. This simplified interface reduces cognitive overhead, enhancing the conceptual development of geometric shapes. This system uses the Responsive Workbench to display geometry in the space of the user...
