Sublingual immunization, where the vaccine is placed directly under the tongue and absorbed through the sublingual mucosa, has the advantages of ease of delivery without the complication of oral administration or the safety concerns of intranasal vaccines. Sublingual vaccine delivery has been shown to induce development of humoral and cell mediated immunity in both the systemic and mucosal comp...

OBJECTIVE A study was conducted to test six threonine (Thr) levels (0.39%, 0.44%, 0.49%, 0.54%, 0.59%, and 0.64%) to estimate the optimal dietary Thr requirements for Longyan laying ducks from 17 to 45 wk of age. METHODS Nine hundred Longyan ducks aged 17 wk were assigned randomly to the six dietary treatments, where each treatment comprised six replicate pens with 25 ducks per pen. RESULTS...

Recent studies have revealed that emotional competences are relevant to the student's learning process and, more specifically, in the use of learning strategies (LSs). The aim of this study is twofold. First, we aim to analyze the relationship between perceived emotional intelligence (PEI) and LSs applying the scales TMMS-24 and Abridged ACRA to a sample of 2334 Spanish university students, whi...

In this paper, I argue that current approaches to modeling of concepts in bilingual memory privilege word representation at the expense of concept representation. I identify four problems with the study of concepts in bilingual memory: con ̄ation of semantic and conceptual levels of representation; scarcity of methods targeting conceptual representation; assumption of the static nature of the co...

The study of language is currently fractionated. Theoretical linguistics has largely ignored advances in psycholinguistics, which in turn remains largely unconstrained by advances in neurolinguistics. Moreover, all of these fields generally work in isolation from the study of other cognitive functions. This fractionation has resulted in an enormous loss of useful information, seriously impeding...

It is often assumed that the primitive units of grammar are words that are marked for grammatical category (e.g., DiSciullo, A.M., Williams, E., 1987. On the Definition of Word: MIT Press, Cambridge, MA). Based on a review of research in linguistics, neurolinguistics, and developmental psychology, we argue that dividing the lexicon into categories such as noun and verb offers no descriptive edg...

1 " I don't see any principled way to distinguish linguistics from neurolinguistics any more than one can distinguish chemistry from physical chemistry in principle. These may be useful distinctions for temporary purposes, but one looks forward to erosion of such boundaries as understanding progresses. My own view has always been that the part of the study of language relevant here is in princi...

I demonstrate the application of hierarchical regression modeling, a state-of-the-art technique for statistical inference, to language research. First, a stable sociolinguistic variable in Philadelphia (Labov, 2001) is reconsidered, with attention paid to the treatment of collinearities among socioeconomic predictors. I then demonstrate the use of hierarchical models to account for the random s...
