In this paper, we present selected findings from our usage analysis of an online English Language Teaching (ELT) workbook. We focus on how teachers assign activities and how learners complete them.

Various concentrations (100, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000 ppm) of boric acid were tested in laboratory to check its potential as a slow-acting toxicant against subterranean termite, Heterotermes indicola (Rhinotermitidae: Isoptera). Under the tested concentrations, ELT 50 (Effective Lethal Dose to kill 50% of the exposed termites) values ranged from 2.7 to 5.4 days while ELT 90 were 4.5 and 9.1 da...

This paper proposes large deviation optimal properties of the empirical likelihood testing (ELT) moment selection procedures for moment restriction models. Since the parameter spaces of the moment selection problem is discrete, the conventional Pitman-type local alternative approach is not very helpful. By applying the theory of large deviations, we analyze convergence rates of the error probab...

The discussion in this talk follows from a recent contract to study control strategies for the segmented primary mirror of the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), in a comprehensive realistic setting. The talk starts by describing this application and naturally relates it to a distributed systems approach. Then it describes several specific issues and solutions for the control of the E-...

Critical Literacy (CL) has lately influenced English Language Teaching (ELT) in Brazil, mainly after the publication of National Guidelines for High School Teaching, and several practitioners have started to use CL perspectives their ELT contexts. Besides, Education been focus much research Brazil. Nonetheless, these alternative approaches not yet made way into testing assessment. This paper fo...
