First and 2nd graders (N = 28?) receiving Title I services received 1 of 3 kinds of classroom reading programs: direct instruction in letter-sound correspondences practiced in decodable text (direct code); less direct instruction in systematic sound-spelling patterns embedded in connected text (embedded code); and implicit instruction in the alphabetic code while reading connected text (implici...

This study investigated the amount of incidental vocabulary learning through comprehension-focused reading of short stories and explicit instruction to this goal.  Forty male high school students were selected randomly, and divided into two groups of twenty.  One group of these students was given five 400-word-level short stories to read with the purpose of comprehension, and the students in th...

The present study examines the role of Gal’perin’s Concept-based Instruction (CBI) as a pedagogical approach in teaching cognitive grammar-based (CG-based) concepts of tense and aspect to EFL students. Following the sociocultural theory of L2 Acquisition (SCT), arming L2 learners with scientific concepts can lead to L2 development by deepening their understanding and raising awareness of L2 str...

Two new volume-ofuid (VOF) reconstruction algorithms, which are based on a least-square t technique, are presented. Their performance is tested for several standard shapes and is compared to a few other VOF=PLIC reconstruction techniques, showing in general a better convergence rate. The geometric nature of Lagrangian and Eulerian split advection algorithms is investigated in detail and a new m...

In the recent articles [EI] and [AI], it was conjectured that all rational GLn-invariant functions of forms of degree d ≥ 3 on Cn can be extracted, in a canonical way, from those of forms of degree n(d − 2) by means of assigning to every form with nonvanishing discriminant the so-called associated form. The conjecture was confirmed in [EI] for binary forms of degree d ≤ 6 as well as for ternary...
