Recent developments in cognitive linguistics have highlighted the importance and the ubiquity of metaphors in language. Their effect has been instrumental in making significant headway into the pedagogical practice and design of teaching materials. The current study was carried out to explore the efficacy of focus-on-form (FonF) and focus-on-forms (FonFs) instructions on learning metaphorical l...

Three-dimensional (3D) integration is considered to be the most promising solution for the continuing improvement in device performance,[1] while the scaling of Si CMOS is approaching its economical and physical limits. Inter Chip Fill (ICF) resin, filled between the gaps of 3D stacked chips, is expected to improve the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of such chips. Pre-applied resi...

Human exposures to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are associated with a wide range of health problems. Due to these adverse effects of VOCs on the human health, determination of trace levels of VOCs is very important for accurate assessment of indoor and outdoor exposure. Solid phase microextraction (SPME), needle trap device (NTD) and hollow fiber- liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) are...

Some even advocate for pharmacists’ involvement services support growth funding opportunities. However, many believe relevant their practice area. For those this final group, I hop...

‎The main goal of this paper is to introduce and study two new class of functions‎, ‎called weakly $e^*$-irresolute functions and strongly $e^*$-irresolute functions‎, ‎via the notion of $e^*$-open set defined by Ekici [7]. ‎We obtain several fundamental properties and characterizations of these functions‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we investigate not only some of their basic properties but also their relat...
