Specifically, we test whether an optimistic tone in annual reports (ARs) is a positive predictor of better financial and non ...

Human FASTK preferentially binds single‐stranded and G‐rich RNA

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA‐binding properties in vitro. We found that FASTK prefers ssRNA oligonucleotides containing guanines with the potential to form G‐quadruplexes and binds robustly to any ...

Relationships of Linguistic Complexity and Accuracy to Functional Adequacy Across L2 English Speaking and Writing: Roles of L2 Proficiency and Task Type

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most research into the relationships of linguistic complexity and accuracy to functional adequacy has focused on either spoken or written mode. The current study extended previous studies by investigating these associations across both modalities and how the nature of these relationships was influenced by learners’ L2 proficiency and task type.
