Scaling up computational thinking skills in computer-assisted language learning (CTsCALL) and its fitness with language learners’ intentions to use virtual exchange: A bi-symmetric... by Amir Reza Rahimi, Ana Sevilla-Pavón

“…It also revealed that language learners, who focused on the key information rather than the details while solving language tasks, as well as recognizing the pattern of task solving and applying them to other tasks, found VE, and CTsCALL to be aligned with their current capabilities, learning environment, and problem-solving skills that mediated their intention to learn and exchange information in this context in the future. …”

Elucidation of the Molecular Interaction between miRNAs and the Gene, Involved in Acute Myeloid Leukemia, by the Assistance of Argonaute Protein through a Computational Approach by Rohit Pritam Das, V. Badireenath Konkimalla, Surya Narayan Rath, Jagadish Hansa, Manaswini Jagdeb

“…Argonaute (AGO) protein is a protein family that binds to the miRNAs and mRNA complex where a strong binding affinity is crucial for its RNA silencing function. By understanding pattern recognition between the miRNAs-mRNA complex and its binding affinity with AGO protein, one can decipher the regulation of a particular gene and develop suitable siRNA for the same in disease condition. …”

Gait-Specific Optimization of Composite Footwear Midsole Systems, Facilitated through Dynamic Finite Element Modelling by Dimitris Drougkas, Evagelos Karatsis, Maria Papagiannaki, Serafeim Chatzimoisiadis, Fotini Arabatzi, Stergios Maropoulos, Alexander Tsouknidas

“…Altering the position of the gel pads and varying their volume led to different midsole responses that could be tuned more efficiently to the specific strike and pronation pattern. Conclusions. The results suggest that midsole design can be significantly improved through biorealistic FE modelling, thus providing a new platform for the conceptual redesign and/or optimization of modern footwear.…”

Medial and lateral vestibulospinal projections to the cervical spinal cord of the squirrel monkey by Richard Boyle

“…The VOC innervation was either uniformly distributed among the cervical segments, indicating a more global control of head and neck movement, or restricted specific spinal segments, indicating a more precise motor control strategy. The innervation pattern of iMVST axons resembled that of VOC and cMVST axons but was less extensive and supplied mostly the upper two cervical segments. …”

Tomato rot by Rhizopus microsporus alters native fungal community composition and secondary metabolite production by Mmanoko Napo, Alicia Kock, Kazeem A. Alayande, Michael Sulyok, Michael Sulyok, Chibundu N. Ezekiel, Jessie Uehling, Teresa E. Pawlowska, Rasheed A. Adeleke

“…However, the factors contributing to this pattern of prevalence are uncertain. Here, we focused on R. microsporus, which is known to rely on its endosymbiotic bacterium, Mycetohabitans, to produce toxins that interfere with plant development and inhibit the growth of other fungi. …”

Effects of water nutrient concentrations on stream macroinvertebrate community stoichiometry: a large-scale study by Beck, Miriam, Billoir, Elise, Usseglio-Polatera, Philippe, Meyer, Albin, Gautreau, Edwige, Danger, Michael

“…While we could not confirm our hypothesis of increasing community %P (and decreasing C:P, N:P) with increasing water phosphorus concentrations for the overall community, it clearly followed this pattern for both Insecta and Malacostraca. General differences in the elemental composition among major taxonomic groups and a shift among these groups over the nutrient gradient probably explain the response of community stoichiometry. …”

Do The Facts of Voting Rights Support Chief Justice Roberts’s Opinion in Shelby County? by Morgan Kousser

STATISTICAL PROCESSING OF RESULTS OF TESTING OF STUDENTS by Yulia V. Gumennikova, Elena N. Ryabinova, Ruzilya N. Chernitsina

“…Provides statistical analysis of the results of testing of students involved in the experiment conducted by the Department of Higher Mathematics at the Samara State University of Railways, since the resulting test data (rates of assimilation of educational information), which are taken as random variables are a set of numbers, which is difficult to detect any pattern of change (variation). Built interval variation series calculated the most important numerical characteristics of random variable - the sample mean (arithmetic mean value of the flag of sample), the sample variance (the arithmetic average of the squared deviations of the observed values of the trait from their average values) and sample standard deviation was given the opportunity to build a histogram of relative frequencies - a stepped shape consisting of rectangles whose bases are partial intervals, and the height equal to the density of the relative frequency. …”
