Devanagari is a script used for several major languages such as Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi and Nepali, and is used by more than 500 million people. Unconstrained Devanagari writing is more complex than English cursive due to the possible variations in the order, number, direction and shape of the constituent strokes. An on-line pen computing environment has numerous application in providing an ea...

the present meta-analysis was conducted to provide a quantitative measure of the overall effects of task complexity on chinese efl learners’ language production. based on the strict inclusion criteria, 12 primary studies were synthesized according to key features. eleven of them were meta-analyzed to investigate effects of raising the resource-directing task complexity. results revealed that ...

In the current study, we report on the deterministic fabrication of solid immersion lenses (SILs) on lithographically pre-selected semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). We demonstrate the combination of state-of-the-art low-temperature in-situ photolithography and femtosecond 3D direct laser writing. Several QDs are pre-selected with a localization accuracy of less than 2 nm with low-temperature li...

In " Writing and Writing Patterns," M^5 Marion Richardson has made a very valuab'e contribution to the art of teaching. Apart fro*11 setting forth an excellent method of teaching handwriting, these little books must help ^ child who uses them to develop an appreciatiojj of rhythm and beauty. One hopes they ^ inspire creative effort and that they shall not used merely as copy books. The examples...

A learner corpus is a useful resource for developing automatic assessment techniques for implementation in a computer-assisted language learning system. However, presently, learner corpora are only helpful in terms of evaluating the accuracy of learner output (speaking and writing). Therefore, the present study proposes a learner corpus annotated with evaluation results regarding the accuracy a...

      Aims: temporal artery thermometers (TAT) of new tools for measuring body temperature, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of thermometers and is still uncertain accuracy and reliability this thermometers.This study to evaluate the accuracy of the two methods of measuring body temperature by the thermometer axillary and temporal artery compared with nas...

This study employed a mixed-method approach including classroom experiment and 24 in-depth interviews, to investigate the effects of two feedback techniques (coded focused unfocused written corrective feedback) on L2 learners in self-financed tertiary institute Hong Kong. Three intact classes 47 students served as control groups; group only received content organization, whereas groups also lin...
