They are critical for the Chinese students speaking English by facilitating more appropriate and complex speech in a language they are not as skilled as in their mother tongue. They are also crucial for the teachers in reflecting the cognitive activities of the students, enabling the teachers to understand and track down the speaking trouble on the spot while suggesting places for improvement in their teaching in the future.展开更多

The Bacillus subtilis phage φ29 is an excellent model system to investigate the DNA packaging mechanism because of its highly efficient in vitro DNA packaging activity and the development of a single-molecule packaging assay. Here we make use of structural and biochemical experimental data to build a physical model of DNA packaging by the φ29 DNA packaging motor. Based on the model, various dynamic behaviours such as the packaging rate, pause frequency and slip frequency under different ATP concentrations, ADP concentrations, external loads as well as capsid fillings are studied by using Monte Carlo simulation. Good agreement is obtained between the simulated and available experimental results. Moreover, we make testable predictions that should guide future experiments related to motor function.展开更多

文摘In the college English classroom, pauses function to help students construct speech, promote mutual interaction and lay bare the problems to be looked into. They are critical for the Chinese students speaking English by facilitating more appropriate and complex speech in a language they are not as skilled as in their mother tongue. They are also crucial for the teachers in reflecting the cognitive activities of the students, enabling the teachers to understand and track down the speaking trouble on the spot while suggesting places for improvement in their teaching in the future.
