the relationship between field-related cognitive styles and global reading comprehension of hypertext
this study investigates the relationship between field-related cognitive styles and global reading comprehension of hypertext. technically, field dependency is prevailing dominance of field on perception of parts, while global comprehension is skim-like reading to grasp the general content. in this research project, 60 senior and junior students of arak university majoring in english literature...

Background & Objective: The present study aimed at exploring the structure of global knowledge, hidden patterns, and emerging Coronavirus events using co-word techniques. Co-word analysis is one of the most efficient scientific methods to analyze the structure and dynamics of knowledge and the general state of research. Materials & Methods: This applied research performed using Co-word anal...
متن کاملExtinction Events Can Accelerate Evolution
Extinction events impact the trajectory of biological evolution significantly. They are often viewed as upheavals to the evolutionary process. In contrast, this paper supports the hypothesis that although they are unpredictably destructive, extinction events may in the long term accelerate evolution by increasing evolvability. In particular, if extinction events extinguish indiscriminately many...
متن کاملAdaptation, extinction and global change
We discuss three interlinked issues: the natural pace of environmental change and adaptation, the likelihood that a population will adapt to a potentially lethal change, and adaptation to elevated CO2, the prime mover of global change. Environmental variability is governed by power laws showing that ln difference in conditions increases with ln elapsed time at a rate of 0.3-0.4. This leads to s...
متن کاملUpdating Martin’s global extinction model
Australia has been cited as a weak link in anthropogenic models of megafauna extinction, but recent work suggests instead that the evidence for rapid extinction shortly after human arrival is robust. The global model is revisited, based on the contention that late Pleistocene megafauna extinctions took place rapidly on islands, and some islands (such as Australia and the Americas) are much larg...
