the benefits of textual input enhancement in the acquisition of linguistic forms have produced mixed results in sla literature. the present study investigates the effects of textual enhancement on adult foreign language intake of two english linguistic forms-subjunctive mood and inversion structures-to explore the role of the type of linguistic items in input enhancement studies. it also invest...

In this paper, a newsboy model is developed under uniformly distributed lead-time and demand that is an appropriate assumption in obtaining optimal relief inventory of humanitarian disasters. It is noteworthy that limited historical data are in hand on relief operations. Hence, analytical and approximate solutions for optimal relief order quan­tity were derived. The effect of lead-time uncertai...

microstructural evolutions of twinning induced plasticity (twip) steel during tensile straining wereinvestigated by in situ sem observations. the results indicated that slip lines and mechanical twins aswell as surface relief were increased with increasing strain, resulting in a stepped surface. additionally,these deformation mechanisms could change the shape of each grain via shear and rotatio...

The coordination problem of relief items’ distribution operations is essential in humanitarian relief chains. If the coordination is proper, it will improve the response phase to the crisis. In order to improve the coordination in humanitarian relief chains, distribution and warehousing operations of relief items were outsourced to the third-party logistics. In this paper, the procurement-distr...

background: inversion of the uterus is very uncommon. patients may present with pelvic pain, vaginal discharge, or hemodynamic shock. case: we report a case of 35 years old women (virgin) who was admitted with profuse vaginal bleeding and cramps of uterus. in the vaginal examination at litothomy position a mass of 58 cm in size was protruded from the vagina. at first myomectomy was performed a...

For crop growth monitoring and agricultural management, it is important to use hyperspectral remote sensing techniques estimate canopy nitrogen content in a timely accurate manner. The traditional nadir method has limited ability assess the trophic state of cotton shoots, which not conducive high-precision inversion, whereas multi-angle can effectively extract canopy’s physicochemical informati...

A method is described by which it is possible to determine the high barrier to ring inversion and hindered rotation by neat racemization of optically active compounds when the racemization is caused by ring inversion or hindered rotation. The method is based preparation of sufficiently pure enantiomers, mainly by chromatography on swollen microcrystalline triacetylcellulose (TAC). By this t...
