This study aims at empirically furthering awareness of the organization of interaction in EFL classes. Informed by the methodological framework of conversation analysis, it draws upon a corpus of 52 three-hour naturally-occurring classroom interaction to identify classroom interactional contexts based on the structuring of the pedagogic goals in turn-taking sequences. Conversation analytic proc...

in this paper, after collecting the rock samples from eight mines and one high way slope, the tests for determination of dry density, uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength (brazilian test), elastic modulus, schmidt hammer rebound number have been done on samples. in addition, in order to calculating the mean size of rock grains, quartz content, hardness and abrasivity, a thin sections...

Top-down and bottom-up theorem proving approaches have each specific advantages and disadvantages. Bottom-up provers profit from strong redundancy control and suffer from the lack of goal-orientation, whereas top-down provers are goal-oriented but have weak calculi when their proof lengths are considered. In order to integrate both approaches our method is to achieve cooperation between a top-d...

As the head of Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Centre and a member of the Editorial Board, I am delighted to preface this edition of IJPR, with appreciation of all the efforts behind it. Health research should be considered as a tool to help policy makers, industries and others to tackle problems, improve the quality of life and build healthy communities. So, besides basic research, that ha...

The widespread diffusion and availability of multicore architectures is going to make more and more aspects of concurrency and distribution to be part of mainstream programming and software engineering. The SIMPA framework is a recently proposed library-based extension of JAVA that introduces on top of the OO layer a new abstraction layer based on agent-oriented concepts. A SIMPA program is org...

The authors propose that volitional action is supported by intuitive affect regulation, defined as flexible, efficient, and nonrepressive control of own affective states. Intuitive affect regulation should be most apparent among action-oriented individuals under demanding conditions. Consistent with this, a demanding context led action-oriented individuals to down-regulate negative affect in se...

The Service ORiented Computing EnviRonment (SORCER) targets service abstractions for transdisciplinary complexity with support for heterogeneous service-oriented (SO) computing. SORCER’s models are expressed in a top-down Var-oriented Modeling Language (VML) unified with programs in a bottoms-up Exertion-Oriented Language (EOL). In this paper the introduction to mogramming (modeling and program...
