The research on metadiscourse markers investigation in academic texts has grown very rapidly the last decade. However, interactive EFL students' writing is still relatively underexplored. Therefore, this study aims to reveal how competence of students use by comparing two groups with different grades, third-semester and fifth-semester students. design a combination quantitative qualitative meth...

Watershed from markers and hierarchical watershed are approaches suitable for interactive image segmentation: in the former, the user can edit markers to control the segmentation result; in the latter, the user can select an image partition from a nested set of partitions. We propose an interactive image segmentation tool that allows transition from one approach to other and thus the combinatio...

FXPAL’s Pantheia system enables users to create virtual models by ‘marking up’ a physical space with pre-printed visual markers. The meanings associated with the markers come from a markup language that enables the system to create models from a relatively sparse set of markers. This paper describes extensions to our markup language and system that support the creation of interactive virtual ob...

Introduction:studies have shown that the increase of active oxygen species is associated with damage to bone cells and the role of exercise and vitamin D on bone health has been proven;the aim of this study was to investigate the interactive effects of aerobic exercise with vitamin D supplements on bone resorption markers in rats exposed to oxidative damage induced by H2O2. <br...
