The purpose of the present study was to identify any significant relationship between critical thinking ability, L2 vocabulary knowledge, and L2 vocabulary learning strategies of Iranian EFL learners. To this aim, the productive vocabulary levels test was administered to measure the learner’s L2 vocabulary knowledge and observe homogeneity in terms of vocabulary knowledge. At the second stage, ...

Differential regulation of gonadotropin hormone production in the pituitary is critical for fertility. Activin and progesterone signaling in gonadotrope cells is important for Fshb gene expression. Previously, we reported that synergy between activin and progestins required the binding of SMAD proteins and the progesterone receptor (PR) to the murine Fshb promoter. In this study, we demonstrate...

Traditional frequency-domain watermarking algorithms for vector geographic data suffer from disadvantages such as the random watermark embedding position, unpredictable strength, and difficulty in resisting multiple attacks at same time. To address these problems, we propose a novel algorithm based on geometric invariance of ratios discrete wavelet transform (DWT) complex singular value decompo...

Those Fourier matrix multiplier operators which are convolutions with respect to a matrix valued measure are characterised in terms of an operator bound. As an application, the finite-dimensional distributions of the process associated with Dirac equation are shown to be unbounded on the algebra of cylinder sets. In its traditional incarnation, the Feynman-Kac formula is a means of expressing a...

It is axiomatic that L2 teaching and learning is a process that requires dynamic involvement of L2 learners in the acquisition of knowledge and skills. L2 learners need to be assisted in setting individual learning goals. They should also be given the exposure to and guidance in effective language learning strategies (LLSs) in order to build a high level of confidence in the learning process. T...

Let D be a bounded symmetric domain in a complex vector space VC with a real form V and D = D∩V = G/K be the real bounded symmetric domain in the real vector space V . We construct the Berezin kernel and consider the Berezin transform on the L2-space on D. The corresponding representation of G is then unitarily equivalent to the restriction to G of a scalar holomorphic discrete series of holomo...
