this study is an attempt tofind the effect of four types of feedback(direct,underline,code,translation)on the writing performance of iranian learners ofjapanese as a foreign language.in this research,we have tried to suggest new ways of correcting students’writing through giving different kinds of feedback in the process of learning to write.the study focused on the accuracy of using prepositio...

Several pairs of observable properties of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are known to be correlated. Many such correlations are straightforward predictions of the ‘cannonball’ model of GRBs. We extend our previous discussions of the subject to a wealth of new data, and to correlations between ‘lag-time’, ‘variability’ and ‘minimum rise-time’, with other observables. Schaefer’s recent systematic analys...

One of the ways to model contraction functions for belief sets is epistemic entrenchment. The first step was provided by Gärdenfors in [5], who defined epistemic entrenchment and a contraction function in terms of it and related the latter with the AGM contraction function. Later Hans Rott in [16] presented an entrenchment based contraction function that does not satisfy recovery. In this paper...

Studies of basic (nonspeech) auditory processing in adults thought to have developmental dyslexia have yielded a variety of data. Yet there has been little consensus regarding the explanatory value of auditory processing in accounting for reading difficulties. Recently, however, a number of studies of basic auditory processing in children with developmental dyslexia have suggested that a reduce...

In previous studies, we conducted several experiments, including identification tests for young and elderly listeners using /shi/–/chi/ (CV) and /ishi/–/ichi/ (VCV) continua. For the CV stimuli, confusion of /shi/ as /chi/ increased when the frication had a long rise time, and /chi/ was confused with /shi/ when the frication had a short rise time. This was true for the group with the following ...

Programmed current chronopotentiometry, specifically current reversal and current decrease, is applied to electrode reactions characterized by a chemical reaction coupled between two charge-transfer reactions, the ECE mechanism. The equations for the transition times are derived and solved. Current-reversal results on systems following the ECE mechanism, p-nitrosophenol, p-nitrophenol, and o-ni...

On-chip inductance effects can be used to improve the performance of high-speed integrated circuits. Specifically, inductance improves the signal slew rate (the rise time), virtually eliminates short-circuit power consumption and reduces the area of the active devices and repeaters inserted to optimize the performance of long interconnects. These positive effects suggest the development of desi...

Experiments are described in which a plasma compression opening switch is used in planar geometry to sharpen the output pulse of an explosive-driven magnetic flux compression generator. Included are data from tests where peak opening switch currents range from 5.7 to 9.3 MA. The switch is used to transfer current to a static low-inductance load (-10 nH) with an efficiency of 50% or better and a...

Abstract The extent to which teachers’ written corrective feedback (WCF) is conducive to ESL learners’ improvement has been discussed since Truscott’s claim in 1996. The mentioned debate continues because there has been lots of contrastive research studies with different results. This paper presents the results of a 2-month study of the effectiveness of WCF to 65 low intermediate Iranian learne...

In the middle of the third century BCE – some 2250 years ago – the Mauryan emperor Aśoka is thought to have directed the creation of the Brahmi script. Brahmi was used in all parts of India to write Prakrit and Sanskrit (except for the north-western regions where Kharoshthi was used to write Prakrit and Gandhari, and occasionally Sanskrit). Brahmi shows all the features found in the scripts des...
