The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of asynchronous computer-mediated versus conventional corrective feedback on learners' writing accuracy. Three groups of learners took part in the study: asynchronous feedback group, conventional feedback group, and a control group. Asynchronous feedback group students received explicit feedback on the targeted structure via e-mail, while...

Individual growth and feed intake of 36 Angus, 27 Polled Hereford and 30 Holstein steers were determined from 365 to 560 kg live weight. One-half of the cattle in each breed were fed a diet based on high-moisture ear corn and the other one-half were fed a diet based on corn silage. Within each breed X diet group, half of the cattle were implanted with zeranol. Cattle fed the high-moisture ear c...

Cross-sectional echocardiographic measurements of normalized septal curvature (NSC), systolic anterior motion of the center of the left ventricular cavity (CAM), and the M mode ratio of left ventricular posterior wall epicardial motion (PEM) to posterior wall thickening (PWT) were made in eight normal subjects, 16 patients with right ventricular volume overload (RVVO) and five with pressure ove...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess whether cognitive processes change over time in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) receiving selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors without cognitive behavioral therapy and to investigate the factors associated with probable cognitive changes. METHODS During the 16 weeks of the study, 55 patients who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Men...

PURPOSE To measure changes in keratocyte density up to 5 years after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS This was a prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial. Eighteen eyes of 12 patients received PRK to correct a mean refractive error of -3.73 +/- 1.30 D, and 17 eyes of 11 patients received LASIK to correct a mean refractive error of -6.56 +/- ...

the present study-both qualitative and quantitative--explored fifty efl learners’ preferences for receiving error feedback on different grammatical units as well as their beliefs about teacher feedback strategies. the study also examined the effect of the students’ level of writing ability on their views about the importance of teacher feedback on different error types. data was gathered throug...
