The present study aimed at highlighting the possible effects of age, proficiency level, and the structural composition of Garden-Path (GP) sentences on EFL learners' comprehension. 80 Iranian EFL learners were recruited from the initial pool of 114 participants based on the results of an English proficiency test; 40 advanced, and 40 intermediate learners were selected. Moreover, two age...

In recent years different genetic programming (GP) structures have emerged. Today, the basic forms of representation for genetic programs are tree, linear and graph structures. In this contribution we introduce a new kind of GP structure which we call linear-graph. This is a further development to the linear-tree structure that we developed earlier. We describe the linear-graph structure, as we...

guaiacol peroxidases (gp) are haem-containing enzymes participating in many physiological processes in plants. the expression pattern of these enzymes is organ-specific and developmentally regulated. methods: the presence of gp activity in extract samples, prepared from crocus sativus l. corms that were either dormant or rooting for 3, 6 and 10 days, was investigated. results: kinetic studies r...

objective(s):transporters have an important role in pharmacokinetics of drugs. inhibition or induction of drug transporters activity can affect drug absorption, safety, and efficacy. p-glycoprotein (p-gp) is the most important membrane transporter that is responsible for active efflux of drugs. it is important to understand which drugs are substrates, inhibitors, or inducers of p-gp to minimize...

We numerically verify the Conjecture of Birch and SwinnertonDyer concerning the analytic and geometric rank of an elliptic curve. An algorithm (based on the work of Cremona) is developed in the PARI/GP language for computing the order of vanishing of the L-function for any (non-singular) curve. The analytic rank outputs for several families of curves are compared with readily available data on ...

The widespread popularity of lotteries in general and the introduction of the U.K. National Lottery in November 1994 has generated concern over the potential addictiveness of gambling and numbers games in particular. Indeed, the Director General of the Of®ce of the National Lottery (who regulates the U.K. game that is operated by a private sector franchisee) is directed by the Secretary of Stat...
