TL;DR: The authors examined four major definitions of reading fluency and their relationship to accuracy, automaticity, and prosody, and proposed a new definition of fluency, which is based on the theoretical perspectives surrounding automaticity.
Abstract: Over the past decade, fluent reading has come to be seen as a central component of skilled reading and a driving force in the literacy curriculum. However, much of this focus has centered on a relatively narrow definition of reading fluency, one that emphasizes automatic word recognition. This article attempts to expand this understanding by synthesizing several key aspects of research on reading fluency, including theoretical perspectives surrounding automaticity and prosody. It examines four major definitions of reading fluency and their relationship to accuracy, automaticity, and prosody. A proposed definition is presented. Finally, the implications of these definitions for current assessment and instruction are considered along with suggestions for reenvisioning fluency's role within literacy curriculum. عبر العقد الماضي أصبحت مرونة القراءة عنصرا محوريا لمهارة القراءة والقوة القائدة في المنهاج الدراسي المتعلق بمعرفة القراءة والكتابة. ومع ذلك تمحور كثيرا من هذا التركيز على تعريف ضيق نسبيا لدى المرونة القرائية وهو الذي يشدد على التعريف التلقائي على الكلمة. لذا تحاول هذه المقالة إلى توسيع هذا الفهم من خلال تضافر بضعة مظاهر رئيسية من الأبحاث المتعلقة بمرونة القراءة بما فيها أبعاد نظرية حول التلقائية والنثرية. وتفحص المقالة أربعة تعاريف رئيسية لمرونة القراءة وعلاقتها بالدقة والتلقائية والنثرية. ولقد تم تقديم تعريف محتمل وأخيرا يتم الأخذ بعين الاعتبار عواقب هذه التعاريف للتقييم والتعليم بالإضافة إلى إعادة النظر في دور المرونة في منهاج معرفة القراءة والكتابة الدراسي. 在过去十年期间,阅读流畅已被视为熟练阅读的主要部分,亦是读写能力课程的一种驱动力。然而,这种看法大部分聚焦于一个较为狭隘的阅读流畅定义上,只强调自动化识别单字。本文尝试综合处理有关阅读流畅研究的几个主要方面,包括与自动化程度及音韵表达相关的理论观点,藉以增加对阅读流畅的认识。本文检视四个主要的阅读流畅定义,及其与准确性、自动化程度、音韵表达之间的关系,并提出一个较为广阔的阅读流畅定义。最后,本文考量这些定义给目前的评估与教学带来的启示,以及建议重新展望阅读流畅在读写课程中所扮演的角色。 Au cours des dix dernieres annees, la lecture courante est devenue une composante centrale du savoir lire et une locomotive dans les programmes de litteratie. Cependant, une large part de cet interet s'est centre sur une definition relativement etroite de la lecture courante, celle qui met l'accent sur la reconnaissance automatique des mots. Cet article se propose d'elargir cette comprehension en faisant la synthese d'aspects majeurs des recherches relatifs a la lecture courante, notamment des perspectives theoriques concernant l'automaticite, et de la prosodie. Nous proposons une definition alternative. Nous considerons enfin les implications de ces definitions pour l'enseignement et l'evaluation actuels ainsi que des suggestions en vue d'un reexamen du role de la lecture courante dans les programmes de litteratie. За последнее десятилетие беглость стала основным критерием качества чтения и краеугольным камнем учебных программ по становлению грамотности. Однако само представление о беглости зачастую выглядит достаточно однобоко: упор делается исключительно на автоматическое опознавание слов. Авторы статьи пытаются расширить это представление, синтезировав ключевые аспекты беглости, фигурирующие в различных исследованиях и теоретических работах. Авторы рассматривают четыре существующих определения беглого чтения и их связь с точностью, автоматизмом и просодией и предлагают свое, синтезированное определение. Затем обсуждается значение этих определений для подхода к обучению и оцениванию и предлагается пересмотреть роль такого параметра, как беглость чтения, в программах по развитию грамотности. En los ultimos diez anos, leer con fluidez se ha convertido en un componente central de la lectura habil y una fuerza principal del curriculo de alfabetizacion. Sin embargo, gran parte de este esfuerzo se ha enfocado en una definicion muy restringida de la fluidez al leer: reconocer palabras automaticamente. Este articulo trata de expandir este entendimiento juntando varios aspectos claves de la investigacion sobre la fluidez al leer, entre ellos perspectivas teoricas sobre la automaticidad y la prosodia. Se examinan cuatro definiciones fundamentales de la fluidez al leer y su relacion a la precision, la automaticidad, y la prosodia. Se sugiere una definicion. Por ultimo, se consideran las implicaciones de estas definiciones para la evaluacion y la instruccion hoy dia y se hacen sugerencias para volver a pensar sobre el rol de la fluidez en el curriculo de alfabetizacion.

TL;DR: This paper found infectious prions capable of transmitting chronic wasting disease (CWD) in saliva (by the oral route) and in blood (by transfusion) from CWD-positive deer.
Abstract: A critical concern in the transmission of prion diseases, including chronic wasting disease (CWD) of cervids, is the potential presence of prions in body fluids. To address this issue directly, we exposed cohorts of CWD-naive deer to saliva, blood, or urine and feces from CWD-positive deer. We found infectious prions capable of transmitting CWD in saliva (by the oral route) and in blood (by transfusion). The results help to explain the facile transmission of CWD among cervids and prompt caution concerning contact with body fluids in prion infections.

TL;DR: In mice lacking the chemokine, CXCL13, B1 cells are deficient in peritoneal and pleural cavities but not in spleen, providing insight into the mechanism of B1 cell homing and establishing a critical role for B1cell compartmentalization in the production of natural antibodies and for body cavity immunity.

TL;DR: The METEOR-S Web Service Discovery Infrastructure as mentioned in this paper uses an ontology-based approach to organize registries into domains, enabling domain based classification of all Web services, and each of these registries supports semantic publication and discovery of Web services.
Abstract: Web services are the new paradigm for distributed computing. They have much to offer towards interoperability of applications and integration of large scale distributed systems. To make Web services accessible to users, service providers use Web service registries to publish them. Current infrastructure of registries requires replication of all Web service publications in all Universal Business Registries. Large growth in number of Web services as well as the growth in the number of registries would make this replication impractical. In addition, the current Web service discovery mechanism is inefficient, as it does not support discovery based on the capabilities of the services, leading to a lot of irrelevant matches. Semantic discovery or matching of services is a promising approach to address this challenge. In this paper, we present a scalable, high performance environment for Web service publication and discovery among multiple registries. This work uses an ontology-based approach to organize registries into domains, enabling domain based classification of all Web services. Each of these registries supports semantic publication and discovery of Web services. We believe that the semantic approach suggested in this paper will significantly improve Web service publication and discovery involving a large number of registries. This paper describes the implementation and architecture of the METEOR-S Web Service Discovery Infrastructure, which leverages peer-to-peer computing as a scalable solution.

TL;DR: Intergenomic comparisons identified lineage-specific genes and genes with copy number variation or large-effect mutations, some of which show evidence of positive selection and may contribute to variation of agronomic traits such as biotic resistance, seed composition, flowering and maturity time, organ size and final biomass.
Abstract: Wild relatives of crops are an important source of genetic diversity for agriculture, but their gene repertoire remains largely unexplored. We report the establishment and analysis of a pan-genome of Glycine soja, the wild relative of cultivated soybean Glycine max, by sequencing and de novo assembly of seven phylogenetically and geographically representative accessions. Intergenomic comparisons identified lineage-specific genes and genes with copy number variation or large-effect mutations, some of which show evidence of positive selection and may contribute to variation of agronomic traits such as biotic resistance, seed composition, flowering and maturity time, organ size and final biomass. Approximately 80% of the pan-genome was present in all seven accessions (core), whereas the rest was dispensable and exhibited greater variation than the core genome, perhaps reflecting a role in adaptation to diverse environments. This work will facilitate the harnessing of untapped genetic diversity from wild soybean for enhancement of elite cultivars.
