Formulaic sequences are continuous or discontinuous series of words that are seemingly treated like single units. Formulaic sequences play a key role in language development, and formulaic sequences acquisition determines the success or failure of language development. This study proposes a reading aloud activity as a way for international students to learn formulaic sequences. A class focused on reading aloud was conducted with 41 international students taking a general English course at a university in Seoul. For 15 weeks, video lectures and real-time Zoom classes were conducted in parallel. The animated film Frozen was used as course material. In the video lectures, the teacher interpreted the movie script in easy Korean and read aloud formulaic sequences. Students were tasked with reading the sentences with formulaic sequences aloud, recording themselves reading aloud, and submitting their recordings. During real-time class meetings, students performed the activity of reading aloud the formulaic sequences they had studied in the video lectures. There was a significant increase in the interpretation and sentence writing of formulaic sequences in participants' post-evaluation compared to the pre-evaluation. Through the study's survey, students exhibited positive views in the affective domains.

Identification of Helicotylenchus species is very challenging due to phenotypic plasticity and existence of cryptic species complexes. Recently, the use of rDNA barcodes has proven to be useful for identification of Helicotylenchus. Molecular markers are a quick diagnostic tool and are crucial for discriminating related species and resolving cryptic species complexes within this speciose genus. However, DNA barcoding is not an error-free approach. The public databases appear to be marred by incorrect sequences, arising from sequencing errors, mislabeling, and misidentifications. Herein, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the newly obtained, and published DNA sequences of Helicotylenchus, revealing the potential faults in the available DNA barcodes. A total of 97 sequences (25 nearly full-length 18S-rRNA, 12 partial 28S-rRNA, 16 partial internal transcribed spacer [ITS]-rRNA, and 44 partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I [COI] gene sequences) were newly obtained in the present study. Phylogenetic relationships between species are given as inferred from the analyses of 103 sequences of 18S-rRNA, 469 sequences of 28S-rRNA, 183 sequences of ITS-rRNA, and 63 sequences of COI. Remarks on suggested corrections of published accessions in GenBank database are given. Additionally, COI gene sequences of H. dihystera, H. asiaticus and the contentious H. microlobus are provided herein for the first time. Similar to rDNA gene analyses, the COI sequences support the genetic distinctness and validity of H. microlobus. DNA barcodes from type material are needed for resolving the taxonomic status of the unresolved taxonomic groups within the genus.

Generalized paper folding sequences $X^n_p$ and $(X_pY_q)^n$ where $X,Y{\in}\{R,L,U,D\}$, and $n,p,q{\in}\mathbb{N}$, and with $p,q{\geq}2$ are classified in this paper. We show that all generalized paper folding sequences $X^n_p$ are classified into one type if we classify generalize paper folding sequences along with the numbers of downwards and upwards. In addition, we investigate the numbers of downwards and upwards in $(X_pY_q)^n$ and prove that all generalized paper folding sequences $(X_pY_q)^n$ are classified into two types.

To investigate the relationship of endogenous retroviruses in peccaries and pigs, a set of degenerate primers was used in this study to amplify peccary retroviral sequences. The sequences of two putative retroviral clones showed close homology to mouse and pig retroviral sequences. The peccary endogenous retroviral sequences are significant in that they are the first such sequences reported in peccary species and repudiate old claims in the literature that peccaries do not have C-type retroviral sequences.

In this paper a new technique to generate spreading code sequences in the CDMA communication is introduced. It is an effective method to generate optimal code sequences using the orthogonality of wavelet packet basis set of subspaces. With a three-stage Quadrature Mirror Filter(QMF), generation of optimal code sequences has been demonstrated. Since these generated optimal code sequences are non-binary and have an arbitrary waveform which is different from that of the conventional PN-based Gold code sequences, a strong security against the intended interceptor is feasible. Encouraging good correlation properties are also achieved with this new method.

We establish a new formalism of the non-periodic autocorrelation function (NPAF) of two sequences, which is suitable for the computation of the NPAF of any two sequences. It is shown, that this encoding of NPAF is efficient for sequences of small weight. In particular, the check for two sequences of length n having weight w to have zero NPAF can be decided in $O(n+w^2{\log}w)$. For n > w^2{\log}w$, the complexity is O(n) thus we cannot expect asymptotically faster algorithms.

A goat ${\beta}$-casein gene was cloned and sequenced. Our previous study had determined the nucleotide sequences of the 5' flanking region and the structural gene including all 9 exons. In the present study, investigations were done on the regulatory sequences in the 5' flanking region of the goat ${\beta}$-casein gene by aligning and comparing it with the same gene from other mammals. The results showed that -200/-1 bp of the 5' flanking sequences contained six conserved clusters, in which the sites of gene expression regulated by the transcription factor and hormone might exist. It showed that fourteen glucocorticoid receptor elements, two cAMP responsive elements, two SV40 virus enhancer core sequences, two OCT-1 binding elements and one CTF/NF-1 binding element were dispersed in the 5' flanking region of goat ${\beta}$-casein gene. Our findings are perhaps valuable for the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that control the expression of the goat ${\beta}$-casein gene.

Generally, a suffix tree is an efficient data structure since it reveals the detailed internal structures of given sequences within linear time. However, it is difficult to implement a suffix tree for a large number of sequences because of memory size constraints. Therefore, in order to compare multi-mega base genomic sequence sets using suffix trees, there is a need to re-construct the suffix tree algorithms. We introduce a new method for constructing a suffix tree on secondary storage of a large number of sequences. Our algorithm divides three files, in a designated sequence, into parts, storing references to the locations of edges in hash tables. To execute experiments, we used 1,300,000 sequences around 300Mbyte in EST to generate a suffix tree on disk.

In this paper, using bent functions defined [n the finite field we generalized the construction method of the family of p-ary bent sequences with balanced and optimal correlation property introduced by Kumar and Moreno for an odd prime p[3], called a generalized p-ary bent sequence. It turns out that the family of balanced p-ary sequences with optimal correlation property introduced by Moriuchi and Imamura [6] is a special case of the generalized p-ary bent sequences.

Phylogenetic studies of nef, pol, and env gene sequences of HIV-1 isolated from Koreans suggested the presence of a Korean clade in which Korean sequences are clustered to the exclusion of foreign sequences. We attempted to identify and characterize the Korean clade using all vif gene sequences isolated from Koreans registered in the NCBI GenBank database (n = 233). Most (77 %) of the Korean isolates belonged to the Korean clade as a large subcluster in subtype B, designated the Korean clade subtype B ($K_{C}B$). $K_{C}B$ sequences were relatively homogenous compared to Korean subtype B sequences that did not belong to the $K_{C}B$ (non-Korean clade subtype B; $NK_{C}B$). Comparison of amino acid frequencies of $K_{C}B$ and $NK_{C}B$ sequences revealed several positions where the amino acid frequencies were significantly different. These amino acid residues were critical in separating $K_{C}B$ from $NK_{C}B$ or from foreign sequences, since substitution of these amino acids in $K_{C}B$ with the $NK_{C}B$ amino acids relocated the $K_{C}B$ sequences to $NK_{C}B$, and vice versa. Further analyses of $K_{C}B$ will help us to understand the origin and evolutionary history of $K_{C}B$.
