the research was aimed at finding out the effects of the implementation of writing feedback techniques and students’ writing anxiety on students’ writing ablity. experimental method of 3x2 factorial design was employed in the research. there were three experimental groups of students who were taught by using teacher feedback, peer feedback and the combination of peer and teacher feedback writin...

based on the controversial beliefs among l2 teachers about effective corrective feedback (cf) strategies, recast and prompts as 2 kinds of cf have drawn the attention of l2 researchers(e.g., braidi, 2002; iwashita, 2003; loewen & philp, 2006; panova & lyster, 2002; sheen, 2004). despite these numbers of studies, debate continues to exist about their usefulness as a cf technique. whereas...

time-delays are important components of many dynamical systems that describe coupling or interconnection between dynamics, propagation or transport phenomena, and heredity and competition in population dynamics. the stabilization with time delay in observation or control represents difficult mathematical challenges in the control of distributed parameter systems. it is well-known that the stabi...

How can online communication most effectively respond to misinformation posted on social media? Recent studies examining the content of corrective messages provide mixed results—several suggest that politer, hedged may increase engagement with corrections, while others favor direct messaging which does not shed doubt credibility message. Furthermore, common debunking strategies often include ke...

This paper analyzes conformist tendencies for a population in which individuals gain utility by mimicking the average behavior, characterizing norms by the mean behavior. In so doing, the model extends Bernheim (1994)’s “A Theory of Conformity” by introducing an endogenous mechanism for establishing social norms. The most interesting result is that this extension does not alter the properties o...

 This paper investigates on control and stabilization of a new hyperchaotic system. The hyperchaotic system is stabilized using a new technique which called Generalized Backstepping Method (GBM). Because of its similarity to Backstepping approach, this method is called GBM. But, this method is more applicable in comparison with conventional Backstepping.  Backstepping method is used only for sy...

Partial medication compliance, where patients do not take enough of their prescribed medicine to achieve adequate outcomes, is common. Research using electronic monitoring to assess compliance has shown that people take approximately 75% of doses as prescribed, irrespective of the condition being treated or its severity. Erratic compliance often leads to discontinuation of therapy, as treatment...
