A variety of approaches exist in foreign language teaching and learning; Task-based Learning (TBL) is one them. It an innovative approach that developed from the Communicative Approach. The concepts TBL have proven successful classrooms. In this study, writer conducted a literature review task-based learning English dealing with benefits problems implementing Indonesia. This paper seeks to (TBL...

High-spatial-resolution (HSR) two-component, two-dimensional particle-image-velocimetry (2C-2D PIV) measurements of a zero-pressure-gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layer (TBL) and an adverse-pressure-gradient (APG)-TBL were taken in the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides Lille (LMFL) High Reynolds number Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel. The ZPG-TBL has momentum-thickness based R e δ 2 = U ∕ ν 7 ...

UNLABELLED The schema for UCSC Known Genes (knownGene.txt) has been widely adopted for use in both standard and custom downstream analysis tools/scripts. For many popular model organisms (e.g. Arabidopsis), sequence and annotation data tables (including "knownGene.txt") have not yet been made available to the public. Therefore, it is of interest to describe Tbl2KnownGene, a .tbl file parser tha...

BACKGROUND Generally in continuing education medical education (CME) the most time is consumed for in the planning and preparation of the event. This planning and preparation, however, needs recognition through an evaluative process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate neurology CME in two educational methods, lecture vs task-based learning, using Patton's utilisation focused model. MET...

One important topic in the aeronautic and aerospace industries is the reproduction of random pressure field, with prescribed spatial correlation characteristics, in laboratory conditions. In particular, the random-wall pressure fluctuations induced by a Turbulent Boundary Layer (TBL) excitation are a major concern for cabin noise problem, as this excitation has been identified as the dominant c...

[1] A wind-wave flume is used to determine the extent to which the thermal boundary layer (TBL) at a wind-forced air-water interface is completely renewed from below. We measure skin temperature, Tskin, radiometrically, temperature immediately below the TBL, Tsubskin, using a temperature profiler, and net heat flux using the gradient flux technique. The Tskin probability density function, p(Tsk...

This paper presents a fast and efficient contiguous allocation strategy for 3D mesh multicomputers, referred to as Turning Busy List (TBL for short), which can identify a free sub-mesh of the requested size as long as it exists in the mesh system. Turning means that the orientation of the allocation request is changed when no sub-mesh is available in the requested orientation. The TBL strategy ...

Objectives Bleeding is the most common complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Injudicious transfusion is frequently performed in current practice, even though it is not always needed. This study aimed to identify the predictive factors of blood loss in the PCNL procedure and evaluate the perioperative transfusion practice. Methods A prospective study of PCNL was randomly performed...

This paper describes some exploratory attempts to apply a combination of finite state transducers (FST) and transformation-based learning (TBL, Brill 1992) to the problem of letter-to-sound (LTS) conversion for Swedish. Following Bouma (2000) for Dutch, we employ FST for segmentation of the textual input into groups of letters and a first transcription stage; we feed the output of this step int...
