in order to confirm the effectiveness of language learning strategies in theiranian context in junior high schools, this study was designed to examine thepatterns of strategy use, the effects of strategy instruction on the students’ strategyuse, and the relationship between the participants’ strategy use and their englishachievement. to achieve this objective, 57 junior high school participants...

In condensed matter systems it is necessary to distinguish between the momentum of constituents system and pseudomomentum quasiparticles. The same distinction also valid for angular pseudoangular momentum. Based on Noether's theorem, we demonstrate that recently discussed orbital momenta phonons magnons are momenta. This conceptual difference important a proper understanding transfer in systems...

A new type of momentum based on the signs past returns is introduced. This driven primarily by sign dependence, which positively related to average return and negatively volatility. An empirical application using a universe commodity financial futures offers supporting evidence for existence such momentum. Investment strategies signal result in higher Sharpe ratios lower drawdown relative time ...

The interest in saccadic IOR is funneled by the hypothesis that it serves a clear functional purpose in the selection of fixation points: the facilitation of foraging. In this study, we arrive at a different interpretation of saccadic IOR. First, we find that return saccades are performed much more often than expected from the statistical properties of saccades and saccade pairs. Second, we fin...

Evolution Strategies (ES) have recently been demonstrated to be a viable alternative to reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms on a set of challenging deep RL problems, including Atari games and MuJoCo humanoid locomotion benchmarks. While the ES algorithms in that work belonged to the specialized class of natural evolution strategies (which resemble approximate gradient RL algorithms, such as ...

In this paper, I discuss observations indicating that homogenization, in its standard version based on weak compactness, generally does not work for dynamic materials with arbitrary material geometry. A remarkable exception is represented by the spatial-temporal laminates where such compactness can be established. For the slow (timelike) laminates, this was done in [18] with the use of energy b...
