With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...

the subfamily alysiinae (hymenoptera, braconidae) is one of the most peculiar and diverse endoparasitoids of the family braconidae. a sampling survey was done in different parts of iran, mainly in south, central and south eastern provinces. fifteen species are recorded for the first time from iran. they were belonging to tribe alysiini (dinotrema amparoae peris-felipo, 2013; d. borzhomii tobias...

Literature Review (LR) and Manuscript Preparatory (MP) tasks are two key activities for researchers. While process-based and technologicaloriented interventions have been introduced to bridge the apparent gap between novices and experts for LR tasks, there are very few approaches for MP tasks. In this paper, we introduce a novel task of shortlisting important papers from the reading list of res...

Ongoing debate surrounds the capacity and characteristics of the focus of attention. The present study investigates whether a pattern of larger recency effects and smaller primacy effects reported in previous working memory studies is specific to task conditions used in those studies, or generalizes across manipulations of task-demand. Two experiments varied task-demands by requiring participan...

People can intentionally forget previously studied material if, after study, a forget cue is provided and new material is learned. It has recently been suggested that such list-method directed forgetting arises because the forget cue induces a change in internal context and causes context-dependent forgetting of the studied material (L. Sahakyan & C. M. Kelley, 2002). The authors compared direc...

Knowledge-intensive processes (KiPs) are driven by knowledge workers utilizing their skills, experiences, and expertise. As these processes are emergent and unpredictable, their support constitutes a big challenge. For coordinating and synchronizing the various tasks of a KiPs, knowledge workers still rely on simple task lists like, e.g., to-do list or checklists. Though task lists are intuitiv...

In a directed forgetting task, midway through presentation of the list, participants are instructed to forget the first half of the list and to remember the second half of the list. Memory is tested for both to-beforgotten (TBF) and to-be-remembered (TBR) words. Typically, participants recall TBR more often than TBF words, although they remember just as many TBF as TBR words on recognition test...

This paper proposes a methodology to prepare corpora in Arabic language from online social network (OSN) and review site for Sentiment Analysis (SA) task. The paper also proposes a methodology for generating a stopword list from the prepared corpora. The aim of the paper is to investigate the effect of removing stopwords on the SA task. The problem is that the stopwords lists generated before w...
