This paper presents an extension of the Latency Time (LT) scheduling algorithm for assigning tasks with arbitrary execution times on a multiprocessor with shared memory. The Extended Latency Time (ELT) algorithm adds to the priority function the synchronization associated with access to the shared memory. The assignment is carried out associating with each task a time window of the same size as...

This study was conducted in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) context to explore Iranian teachers' perceptions of their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and their sense of professional identity (PI) as well as to scrutinize how their cognitions were practiced in EAP classes. To this end, two ELT teachers and two content instructors (i.e. subject experts who teach EAP courses in addition to...

In this paper, a new formulation based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is presented for backcalculation of pavement layer moduli. In structural analysis of flexible pavements, the procedures as Layered Elastic Theory, Equivalent Layer Thickness (ELT), and Finite Elements Method (FEM) generally have complex formulations and give approximate results. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to pe...

The mechanisms involved in the recognition of microbial pathogens and activation of the immune system have been extensively studied. However, the mechanisms involved in the recovery phase of an infection are incompletely characterized at both the cellular and physiological levels. Here, we establish a Caenorhabditis elegans-Salmonella enterica model of acute infection and antibiotic treatment f...

In Exponentially-Modulated Filter Bank (EMFB) the complex subfilters are generated from a real-valued prototype filter by multiplying the filter impulse response with complex exponential sequences. This gives the possibility to use block transforms with computationally fast algorithms. Our definition for the EMFB is based on Extended Lapped Transform (ELT). Then we may apply Fast ELT based algo...

English has served as a means of communication among speakers of different first languages (i.e. a lingua franca) for many centuries. Yet its present spread and use are so new that English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in its current global manifestation did not exist as recently as 1946 when this Journal was launched. During the 20 years or so since it was first identified and empirically researche...

During the Covid19 pandemic, online learning platforms are solutions to sustain English Language Teaching (ELT). It is an appropriate option for lecturers deliver course materials amidst covid19 outbreak. Some of most frequently used Zoom and WhatsApp. The purpose this study describe EFL university students’ perceptions use WhatsApp in ELT. A virtual class form was created enable students remot...

Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics, primarily designed for those entering postgraduate studies and language professionals returning to academic study. The books take an innovative “practice to theory” approach, with a ‘back-to-front’ structure. This leads the reader from real-world problems a...
