Various researchers have used coding strategies such word order, case and pronominal marking to predict asymmetries between different object functions and/or information structure roles such as topics and foci. Moreover, some studies have also suggested that there exists a correlation between different grammatical functions and information structure roles. This paper analyzes object marking in ...

This study aimed to explore the effects of marking and metacognition-evaluated feedback (MEF) in computerbased testing (CBT) on student performance and review behavior. Marking is a strategy, in which students place a question mark next to a test item to indicate an uncertain answer. The MEF provided students with feedback on test results classified as correct answers with and without marking o...

BACKGROUND Patients treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nasal CPAP) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) often have adverse effects from and poor adherence to CPAP. OBJECTIVE To describe abnormal CPAP leak profiles and assess inter-observer reliability in identifying leak profiles and the correlation of leak profiles with leak rate and clinical outcomes. METHODS In a sleep-...

BACKGROUND Although there is published research on the methods markers use in marking various types of assessment, there is relatively little information on the processes markers use in approaching a marking exercise. This qualitative paper describes the preparation and experiences of general practice (GP) teachers who undertake marking a written assessment in an undergraduate medical course. ...

introduction: endoscopic repair is considered the treatment of choice in cerebrospinal fluid (csf) rhinorrhea. the aim of our study was to analyze the etiopathogenesis of csf rhinorrhea, the outcome of treatment and the causes of failure in a developing-country setting.   materials and methods: a retrospective review of patients treated with endoscopic repair for csf rhinorrhea at a tertiary ca...

Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks pose an increasing threat to today’s Internet. One major difficulty to defend against Distributed Denial-of-service attack is that attackers often use fake, or spoofed IP addresses as the IP source address. Probabilistic packet marking algorithm (PPM), allows the victim to trace back the appropriate origin of spoofed IP source address to disguise the true origin....

In this paper we study the home marking problem for Petri nets, and some related concepts to it like confluence, noetherianity, and state space inclusion. We show that the home marking problem for inhibitor Petri nets is undecidable. We relate then the existence of home markings to confluence and noetherianity and prove that confluent and noetherian Petri nets have an unique home marking. Final...

a majority of people, asked a simple yes/no question, were indeed opposed to the creation of animalhuman hybrids. However (in line with similar surveys on animal experimentation) support for the procedure rose to 61 per cent when the potential benefits of the work were explained. Announcing the eventual decision in September, the HFEA emphasised the importance of this public support – which res...

BACKGROUND During noninvasive ventilation (NIV), leak around the mask may cause inadequate ventilatory support or patient-ventilator asynchrony such as auto-triggering. Some NIV ventilators may be better than others at compensating for leak. METHODS We bench studied 3 NIV ventilators (Vision, Carina, and Trilogy100) and 2 ICU ventilators (Puritan Bennett 840 and Evita XL) to assess how they ...
