This research study aimed at exploring the relationship between vocabulary learning strategies and vocabulary size of 125 undergraduate English Language Teaching students at Eastern Mediterranean University. This research study was a correlational survey study of descriptive nature. The major findings of this study were as follows. First, the findings indicated that most of the ELT students ade...

Kennaway proved the remarkable result that every (almost) orthogonal term rewriting system admits a computable sequential normalizing reduction strategy. In this paper we present a computable sequential reduction strategy similar in scope, but simpler and more general. Our strategy can be thought of as an outermost-fair-like strategy that is allowed to be unfair to some redex of a term when con...

Let P = fP0; :::; Png be a partition of a nite abelian group A and L(P ) the complex vector space generated by the indicator functions of the sets P0; :::; Pn. In [1] it was proved that P de nes an abelian association scheme on A if L(P ) equals the space L(P ) of all Fourier transforms of functions in L(P ). In this paper it is shown that P de nes an abelian association scheme on A if and only...

The national action plan for malaria elimination in China (2010-2020) was issued by the Chinese Ministry of Health along with other 13 ministries and commissions in 2010. The ultimate goal of the national action plan was to eliminate local transmission of malaria by the end of 2020. Surveillance and response are the most important components driving the whole process of the national malaria eli...

Objective This presentation aims to share the CDC Surveillance Strategy’s goals, initiatives and activities. The surveillance strategy describes how CDC will: enhance accountability, resource use, workforce and innovation for surveillance by establishing a Surveillance Leadership Board, a surveillance workforce plan, and an innovation consortium; accelerate the utilization of emerging tools and...

Designing and maintaining websites can be costly for small business, therefore the decision to embark on a Web strategy should not be taken lightly. Critical to the success of a web site is its design. Most small business web sites focus on information provision yet for many it would appear there is a lack of understanding of how to design a web site that delivers information effectively to use...

The purpose of this study was to examine the instructional effectiveness of different online reading strategies for students identified as possessing different learning styles, either internal or external locus of control styles, on tests measuring different learning objectives. Participants were 169 undergraduate students, randomly assigned to four online reading treatments: none, rereading st...

ABSTRACT Recent advances in the theory of evolutionary algorithms have indicated that a hybrid method known as the evolutionary-gradient-search procedure yields superior performance in comparison to contemporary evolution strategies. But the theoretical analysis also indicates a noticeable performance loss in the presence of noise (i.e., noisy fitness evaluations). This paper aims at understand...

Behavior planning of a vehicle in real-world traffic is a difficult problem. Complex systems have to be build to accomplish the projection of tasks, environmental constraints, and purposes of the driver to the dynamics of two controlled variables: steering angle and velocity. This paper comprises two parts. First, the behavior planning for the task of intelligent cruise control is proposed. The...
