Discourse reference is bimodal : How information status in speech interacts with presence and viewpoint of gestures

Speakers use speech and gestures to represent referents in discourse. Depending on referents’ information status, in speech speakers will vary richness of expression (e.g., lexical noun phrase [NP]/pronoun), nominal definiteness (indefinite/definite), and grammatical role (subject/object). This study tested whether these three linguistic markers of information status interact with presence of gest

Power reductions in unrolled CORDIC architectures

This paper shows a novel methodology to reduce the power consumption and complexity in unrolled CORDIC architectures. It is a methodology is based on removing adder and subtractor stages starting from the first stage. The stages are replaced with a number of MUXes. Three to four stages can be removed with substantial reduction in complexity and power consumption. The methodology is applicable on C

The impact of price reductions on on individuals’ choice of healthy meals away from home

Food high in energy but low in nutritional value is an important contributor to several serious illnesses, and one type of food that is particularly high in energy but low in nutrition is food consumed away from home. In this paper, we examine the demand and willingness to pay for healthy, Keyhole-labelled meals. A Keyhole-labelled meal is particularly low in calories, fat, sugar and salt, but par

Production, purification and characterization of antibacterial biomolecules from an alkaliphilic Bacillus

Popular Abstract in English As there is a demand for new antibacterial agents due to antimicrobial resistance, the ability of one kind of microorganisms to produce antimicrobial substances has been evaluated. Then, after determining the antibacterial-producer microorganism, the production of active compound in large scale, followed by optimization the conditions investigated. Next, the bioactive aForty alkaliphiles, which were isolated from samples collected in Eastern Africa, have been screened for production of antibacterial compounds. One of these isolates, Bacillus halodurans B20, was able to produce a prominent amount of antibacterial activity against a Gram-positive bacteria on agar plates [paper I] and selected for further study. Production of the active compound in submerged culti
