This study evaluated 2 ELT textbooks (Four Corners, Book 2 and Four CornersBook 3) drawing on Bloom’s revised taxonomy (BRT); it examined the extent towhich these ELT textbooks could demonstrate the 6 cognitive categories of the BRT(i.e., remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating) intheir activities. To this end, content analysis was done to obtain the frequency ...

Bromus sect. Triniusa is revised in Khorassan based on the new taxonomic concepts of Bromus danthoniae complex group and a remarkable herbarium material collected from Khorassan (Kopetdagh, northeastern Iran), as the main center of its diversity. Bromus turcomanicus, a narrow endemic species in central Kopetdagh hitherto known only from the type locality in southern Turkmenistan, is newly recor...

The paper aims to make theoretical and practical contributions to the field of Business Intelligence/Business Analytics (BI) education, by addressing the following practice-inspired, teaching-related research question: “How to design learning activities to “scaffold” student learning in Business Intelligence (Business Analytics) towards more advanced cognitive and knowledge dimensions, and alon...

The teaching experience of the revised simplex method in matrix notation on the blackboard leads us to prepare a visualization alternative, useful for the constituting part of the education liturgy. According to our approach the educator does not spend anymore valuable time on boring calculations while the student understands complex mathematical concepts. Our courseware has unique features lik...

Multi-document summaries produced via sentence extraction often suffer from a number of cohesion problems, including dangling anaphora, sudden shifts in topic and incorrect or awkward chronological ordering. Therefore, the development of an automated revision process to correct such problems is a research area of current interest. We present the RevisionBank, a corpus of 240 extractive, multido...

Both the special education and gifted education literature call for a differentiated curriculum to cater for the wide range of student differences in any classroom. Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences was integrated with the revised Bloom’s taxonomy to provide a planning tool for curriculum differentiation. Teachers’ progress in using the tool to plan and implement units of work through ...

The Critical Depth Hypothesis formalized by Sverdrup in 1953 posits that vernal phytoplankton blooms occur when surface mixing shoals to a depth shallower than a critical depth horizon defining the point where phytoplankton growth exceeds losses. This hypothesis has since served as a cornerstone in plankton ecology and reflects the very common assumption that blooms are caused by enhanced growt...
