There is strong scientific consensus that emphasizing print-to-sound relationships is critical when learning to read alphabetic languages. Nevertheless, reading instruction varies across English-speaking countries, from intensive phonic training to multicuing environments that teach sound- and meaning-based strategies. We sought to understand the behavioral and neural consequences of these diff...

and Applied Analysis 3 that w fw gw, that is, w is a common fixed point for f, g . If z is any common fixed point for f, g (i.e., fz gz z , then, again by the uniqueness of POC, it must be z w. The following result is due to Ðorić et al. [21]. It shows that the results of Jungck and Rhoades are not generalizations of results obtained from Lemma 2.1. Proposition 2.3 (see [21]). Let a pair of map...

T his paper investigates the gain of bilateral trade between China and U.S. in manufacturing sectors when both countries play a role in asymmetric (biased) growth of  international trade. Our model includes a special case of Biased Growth Theory in international trade. We collected labor productivity, export and import data by using classification of manufacturing industries, for U.S...

Given a 3-connected biased graph Ω with three node-disjoint unbalanced circles, at most one of which is a loop, we describe how the bias matroid of Ω is uniquely represented by Ω.

Traditional theories of child language acquisition center around the existence of a language acquisition device which is speciically tuned for learning a particular class of languages. More recent proposals suggest that language acquisition is assisted by the evolution of languages towards forms that are easily learnable. In this paper, we evolve combinatorial languages which can be learned by ...

The paper establishes the existence of homeomorphisms between two planar domains that minimize the Dirichlet energy. Among all homeomorphisms f : Ω onto −→ Ω∗ between bounded doubly connected domains such that ModΩ 6 ModΩ∗ there exists, unique up to conformal authomorphisms of Ω, an energy-minimal diffeomorphism. No boundary conditions are imposed on f . Although any energyminimal diffeomorphis...

the purpose of this paper is to study the strong convergence of an implicit iteration process with errors to a common fixed point for a finite family of asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings and nonexpansive mappings in normed linear spaces. the results in this paper improve and extend the corresponding results of xu and ori, zhou and chang, sun, yang and yu in some aspects.

In this paper, we introduce a new class of set-valued mappings which is called MD-type mappings. This class of mappings is a set-valued case of a class of the D-type mappings. The class of D-type mappings is a generalization of nonexpansive mappings that recently introduced by Kaewkhao and Sokhuma. The class of MD-type mappings includes upper semi-continuous Suzuki type mappings, upper semi-con...

In this work, the physical and electrical properties of vertical GaN Schottky diodes were investigated. Cathodo-luminescence (CL), micro-Raman spectroscopy, SIMS, current-voltage (I-V) measurements performed to better understand effects parameters, for example structural defects doping level inhomogeneity, on diode performances. Evidence dislocations in epilayer was spotted thanks CL measuremen...
