To cope with the spectacular progress of technology, university education in Algeria has placed a lot emphasis on delivering instructions through eLearning platform. This paper explores usefulness improving students’ learning experiences to undertake research projects. No empirical studies have been conducted efficacy online teaching methodologies Algerian EFL contexts. The current tries show a...

Foraging plasticity that includes facultative nectarivory is extremely rare in temperate insectivorous bats. We investigated flower-visiting behavior of pallid bats (Antrozous pallidus, Vespertilionidae) to bat-adapted flowers of cardon cacti (Pachycereus pringlei) to determine whether pallid bats consume floral nectar or visit flowers to opportunistically glean insects attracted to flowers. In...

The ability to detect non-adjacent dependencies (i.e. between a and b in aXb) in spoken input may support the acquisition of morpho-syntactic dependencies (e.g. The princess is kiss ing the frog). Functional morphemes in morpho-syntactic dependencies are often marked by perceptual cues that render them distinct from lexical elements. We use an artificial grammar learning experiment with adults ...

In this paper, we describe a system called Glean, which is predicated on the idea that any coherent text contains signiicant latent information, such as syntactic structure and patterns of language use, which can be used to enhance the performance of Information Retrieval systems. We propose an approach to information retrieval that makes use of syntactic information obtained using a tool calle...

In active sensing, animals make motor adjustments to match sensory inputs to specialized neural circuitry. Here, we describe an active sensing system for sound level processing. The pallid bat uses downward frequency-modulated (FM) sweeps as echolocation calls for general orientation and obstacle avoidance. The bat's auditory cortex contains a region selective for these FM sweeps (FM sweep-sele...
