Comparison Of Copies Research Articles

Aproximación al paratexto de las ediciones de «Las obras de Boscán y algunas de Garcilaso»

This essay analyzes, according to G. Genette’s definition of paratext, the paratextual elements (prologues, dedications, indexes) of the different editions of the Boscan’s work published in 16th century European printing houses. Through the comparison of copies in the Biblioteca Nacional de España, this analysis reveals several aspects of the cultural and editorial context and concludes that these editions, that present a poor typography, were devoted to an editorial consuming market where the mediation of the editor / printer and the competitiveness in the editorial marked of the century were capital.

A Comparison of Copy, Cover, and Compare and a Traditional Spelling Intervention for an Adolescent with a Conduct Disorder

ABSTRACT The correlation between conduct disorder and cognitive deficits, and the relationship between spelling and school success generate the necessity for focused spelling instruction for individuals with disabilities. This article compares Traditional spelling instruction and a Copy, Cover, and Compare instruction technique for the spelling accuracy of an adolescent diagnosed with a conduct disorder. The results show that, although both spelling methods are effective in increasing spelling accuracy, the Copy, Cover, and Compare approach produces higher levels of accuracy. A significant difference between Traditional spelling instruction and Copy, Cover, Compare was shown. Generalization to novel words was not found. Further research could investigate generalization and maintenance of spelling skills using Copy, Cover, and Compare spelling.

Heterochromatic Stellate gene cluster in Drosophila melanogaster: structure and molecular evolution.

The 30-kb cluster comprising close to 20 copies of tandemly repeated Stellate genes was localized in the distal heterochromatin of the X chromosome. Of 10 sequenced genes, nine contain undamaged open reading frames with extensive similarity to protein kinase CK2 beta-subunit; one gene is interrupted by an insertion. The heterochromatic array of Stellate repeats is divided into three regions by a 4.5-kb DNA segment of unknown origin and a retrotransposon insertion: the A region (approximately 14 Stellate genes), the adjacent B region (approximately three Stellate genes), and the C region (about four Stellate genes). The sequencing of Stellate copies located along the discontinuous cluster revealed a complex pattern of diversification. The lowest level of divergence was detected in nearby Stellate repeats. The marginal copies of the A region, truncated or interrupted by an insertion, escaped homogenization and demonstrated high levels of divergence. Comparison of copies in the B and C regions, which are separated by a retrotransposon insertion, revealed a high level of diversification. These observations suggest that homogenization takes place in the Stellate cluster, but that inserted sequences may impede this process.

Occupational rhetoric and ideology: A comparison of copy and original music performers

This study focuses on similarities and differences between occupational rhetorics and ideologies of two groups of local level popular musicians, those who compose and perform their own music and those who perform music made commercially successful by other bands/performers. The analysis of in-depth interviews with twenty-five local level musicians demonstrates that the latter have developed an ideology which legitimates definitions of themselves as audience-oriented technicians who view the performance of music as an economic enterprise; musicians who perform original music share an ideology which stresses creativity over economic reward and legitimates a definition of themselves as primarily artists. Both types of musicians and their ideologies are discussed in relation to larger structural forces of the popular entertainment industry.
