Close agreement between deterministic vs. stochastic modeling of first-passage time to vesicle fusionComparative Study • July 30th, 2021
Ca2+-dependent cell processes such as neurotransmitter or endocrine vesicle fusion are inherently stochastic due to large fluctuations in Ca2+ channel gating, Ca2+ diffusion and Ca2+ binding to buffers and target sensors. However, prior studies revealed closer-than-expected agreement between deterministic and stochastic simulations of Ca2+ diffusion, buffering and sensing, as long as Ca2+ channel gating is not Ca2+-dependent. To understand this result more fully, we present a comparative study complementing prior work, focusing on Ca2+ dynamics downstream of Ca2+ channel gating. Specifically, we compare deterministic (mean-field / mass-action) and stochastic simulations of vesicle exocytosis latency, quantified by the probability density of the first-passage time (FPT) to the Ca2+-bound state of a vesicle fusion sensor, following a brief Ca2+ current pulse. We show that under physiological constraints, the discrepancy between FPT densities obtained using the two approaches remains smal
Asymmetrical Subject-Verb Agreement in Standard Arabic and Urdu Languages: A Comparative StudyComparative Study • November 8th, 2019
This study attempts to demystify the structural patterns in Arabic and Urdu languages in order to justify that both languages technically belong to two unrelated language families and despite a lot of intercultural similarities and patterns in both, each has distinct sentence structures. In this paper, the researchers specifically investigate subject-verb agreement in Arabic and Urdu languages. Arabic is a language that uses Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) and Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order. Verb initial word orders like in Classical Arabic are relatively rare across the world's languages. Urdu uses the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) order, which in linguistic typology, is one in which the subject, object and verb of a sentence usually appear in that order and this label is often used for Ergative languages too that do not have subjects but have an agent–object–verb order. This research paper explains various alternations of these word orders in both Arabic and Urdu to show how this agreeme

Subject-Verb Agreement in Sindhi and English: A Comparative StudyComparative Study • June 4th, 2013
In this paper, the researchers particularly investigated the subject verb agreement in Sindhi and English languages. English and Sindhi are two entirely different languages. There are differences in their phonology, morphology and syntax also. In this paper, the researchers examined the difference between one of the aspects of syntax, specially the difference between subject verb agreements in both the languages. Syntactically English is a head initial SVO language and Sindhi is a head Final SOV language. These two languages differ not only in phonology, morphology and syntax but they have also got difference in their origin. First the study shows a brief look at origin of Sindhi and English languages. Then subject verb agreement in Sindhi and English is analysed individually, afterwards there is a analysis of comparison between these two languages in subject verb agreement.
