The conceptual and empirical links between authentic leadership and follower attitudes, behaviors, and performance outcomes have not been fully developed. Although we have a number of articles developing the theory of authentic leadership and testing propositions that will appear in a forthcoming special issue of The Leadership Quarterly (Vol. 16, Issue 3, 2005), the focus of this article is to...

Many cognitive and educational researchers agree that hypermedia and multimedia content, if designed correctly, can assist students in understanding the complex scientific systems which are part of our world. Contextualized, authentic learning activities and assessments, combined with computational practice, should enable students to develop a more complete understanding of the material and fac...

We have reconstituted in vitro the four snRNPs known to be involved in pre-mRNA splicing: U1, U2, U5, and U4/6. Reconstitution involves adding either authentic or in vitro-synthesized snRNAs to extracts enriched in snRNP structural polypeptides. The reconstituted snRNPs have the same buoyant density and are immunoprecipitated by the same antibodies as authentic snRNPs. Thus, the polypeptide com...

In order to help our students learn English more effectively, we teachers of English need to place an equal emphasis both on designing suitable teaching materials and making use of effective teaching methodologies. Of the two types of teaching materials; namely authentic and non-authentic materials that are being used nowadays in schools and universities in most EFL countries, the use of the fo...

In the present study, three groups of interpreter trainees were formed, two experimental groups, i.e., blended prosody instruction (BPI) and computer-assisted training (CAPT), one control group (CON). this experiment participants took part in a four-week teaching program for 16 sessions (60 minutes per session), hours all. The native Persian speakers who studied English interpreting at BA level...

In this paper, we propose a novel text-based talking-head video generation framework that synthesizes high-fidelity facial expressions and head motions in accordance with contextual sentiments as well speech rhythm pauses. To be specific, our consists of speaker-independent stage speaker-specific stage. the stage, design three parallel networks to generate animation parameters mouth, upper face...

We introduce a new classification algorithm based on the concept of Symmetric Maximized Minimal distance in Subspace (SMMS). Given the training data of authentic samples and imposter samples in the feature space, SMMS tries to identify a subspace in which all the authentic samples are close to each other and all the imposter samples are far away from the authentic samples. The optimality of the...

Authentic Professional Competence in Clinical Neuropsychology was Dr Denney's 2009 presidential address at the Annual Conference of the National Academy of Neuropsychology. In his address, he highlighted the need for clinical neuropsychologists to strive for authentic professional competence rather than a mere pretense of expertise. Undisputed credibility arises from authentic professional comp...

Marchetto of Padua’s formulation of modal ranges in the Lucidarium (1317-18) ranks among his most important innovations as a music theorist. Like earlier writers, Marchetto distinguished between melodies (cantus) that, relative to their final tones (finales), ranged relatively high (tonus authenticus: authentic mode) and low (tonus plagalis or subiugalis: plagal mode). Unlike previous theorists...
