The present study investigated comparatively the impact of two types of input enhancement (i.e. textual vs. compound enhancement) on developing grammar ability in Iranian EFL setting. Sixty-five female secondary high school students were selected as a homogenous sample out of about a 100-member population based on Nelson language proficiency test. Then, their grammar ability was measured based ...

Mixed effects models provide significant advantages in sensitivity and flexibility over typical statistical approaches to neural data analysis, but mass univariate application of mixed effects models to large neural datasets is computationally intensive. Threshold free cluster enhancement also provides a significant increase in sensitivity, but requires computationally-intensive permutation-bas...

Plasmonics allow localization of an electromagnetic (EM) field into nanoscale "hotspots", a feature that is of technological significance due to potential applications related to spectroscopic sensing and nanofocusing. In relation to this, many researchers have sought to fabricate metallic nanostructures with sharp edges, as they provide much higher EM field enhancement compared with rounded st...

The study aims to find out the ways in which corporate performance can be enhanced with help of establishing managerial autonomy and implementing management accounting information systems manufacturing organizations Oman. is novel for considering factors integration, reliability, flexibility, efficiency enhance In this qualitative study, sector has been considered, as it shown significant growt...

Three-dimensional electron microscopy (3D-EM) is a powerful technology for imaging macromolecular complexes. Through a process known as singleparticle reconstruction, tens of thousands of separate images of a complex of interest are used to arrive at a single resolved structure. Although this method works sufficiently well for rigid macromolecular complexes, conformationally flexible complexes ...

Raman scattering signal can be enhanced through localization of incident field into sub-wavelength hot-spots plasmonic nano-structures (Surface-enhanced scattering-SERS). Recently, further enhancement SERS via quantum objects are proposed by [1] without increasing the hot-spot intensity (\textit{silent-enhancement}) where this suggestion prevents modification vibrational modes or breakdown mole...

In order to investigate why crystal symmetry lowers with increasing temperature by phase transition of TII–III (=369 K) in Cs3H(SeO4)2, in spite of the fact that crystal symmetry in the high-temperature phase of many ionic conductors becomes higher by the phase transition, we have studied the relation between the change in crystal symmetry and the appearance of proton motion. It was found from ...

We present fabrication and characterization of a membrane based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and parylene. Carbon nanotubes have shown orders of magnitude enhancement in gas and water permeability compared to estimates generated by conventional theories [1, 2]. Large area membranes that exhibit flux enhancement characteristics of carbon nanotubes may provide an economical solution to a variety of...
