The study aimed at investigating whether the retention of vocabulary acquired incidentally is dependent upon the amount of task-induced involvement. Immediate and delayed retention of twenty unfamiliar words was examined in three learning tasks( listening comprehension + group discussion, listening comprehension + dictionary checking + summary writing in L1, and listening comprehension + dictio...

soil contamination significantly reduces environmental quality and affects human health. to investigate and assess the effects of land use on the concentrations of some heavy metals in surface soils of golestan province, 227 soil samples (0-60 cm) were collected from three types of land uses including agricultural lands, natural, and industrial areas. the total metals and metalloids (cr, se, as...

metal contents viz., cu, ni, co, zn and cd in sediment cores recovered from the vembanad lake, the largest estuarine-lagoonal system on the west coast of india, were analysed to understand the pollution levels and the impact on the coastal environment. of the three cores studied, vc-10 shown enrichment in all metals compared to other cores, as it is located in the vicinity of industrial area. f...

pollution of water and soils by heavy metals is an emerging problem in industrialized countries.the present study was conducted to investigate the heavy metals concentration in water and sedimentsamples from ship breaking sites of sitakunda to assess the potential ecological risk posed by heavy metalusing different methods. heavy metals concentration was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrosco...

manual patient handling is known to be the major source of musculoskeletal load among hospital nurses. the objectives of the present study were determination of frequency of musculoskeletal disorders (msds) and its associated factors together with assessment of musculoskeletal load due to patient transfer by ptai method in hospital nursing staff of shiraz university of medical sciences (sums), ...

How deeply a word is processed has long been considered as a crucial factor in the realm of vocabulary acquisition. In literature, two frameworks have been proposed to operationalize the depth of processing, namely the Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and the Technique Feature Analysis (TFA). However, they differ in the way they have operationalized it specially in terms of their attentional c...

this study proposes a method employing thermogravimetric analysis (tg) to predict pollutionlevels by heavy metals (cr, cu, ni, zn, pb, cd and hg) in port sediments close to urban and industrial sitesfrom bay of cádiz. for this purpose, the thermogravimetric results of 14 sediment samples were recorded andshowed two characteristic ranges of temperatures (w1 as weight loss, %: 200-650°c) vs. (w2 ...
