This paper presents an analytical technique for the analysis of a stochastic dynamic system whose damping behavior is described by a fractional derivative of order 1/2. In this approach, an eigenvector expansion method proposed by Suarez and Shokooh is used to obtain the response of the system. The properties of Laplace transforms of convolution integrals are used to write a set of general Duha...

As is immediately clear from its name, Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is a field in which computers and language play key roles. To conclude from this that CALL would be a prominent area of computational linguistics, however, would be hugely mistaken. Handbooks and journals of computational linguistics, including this one, do not usually have articles on CALL. Nerbonne (2003) is a r...

The principal objective of this study is to describe and evaluate a holistic training model for language teacher education in an e-learning context, specifically in a cyber face-to-face language learning context. This study first proposes an e-training model called the Practice, Reflective and Collaborative (PRC) model, and discusses the rationale underpinning each key component of the model. T...

introduction: plant diseases caused by geminiviruses are one of the main constraints of legume production in the world. they are responsible for a constraint on production of various crops. geminiviruses are characterized by their twinned icosahedral particles and their single-stranded dna genome. the family geminiviridae is grouped into four genera: begomovirus, mastrevirus, curtovirus and top...

A sterilised, female calico domestic cat, weighing 4 kg, was presented to a private practitioner for examination. Her mother had produced her first and only litter, comprising 6 kittens, at the age of 3 years. Apart from this particular cat, all of the kittens appeared to be normal. The cat presented appeared to have no problems apart from the structure of her right forelimb, which she did not ...

Computer-assisted language learning is by now so common around the world as to be something of a default, and the teaching of the indigenous languages of the Americas is already benefiting from the new technology. Intelligent computer-assisted language learning relies on software that has relatively sophisticated models of the target language and/or the learner. An example is the use of a progr...
