PURPOSE This study evaluates the extent to which bilingual children produce the same or overlapping responses on tasks assessing semantic skills in each of their languages and whether classification analysis based on monolingual or conceptual scoring can accurately classify the semantic development of typically developing (TD) bilingual children. METHOD In Study 1, 55 TD children (ages 4;0 [y...

Engineered cells replacing tissues should mimic the three-dimensional (3D) structure and reflect the different cell phenotypes exhibited by the lost or damaged tissue (Raimondi 2006; Keung, Healy et al. 2010). The engineered cells should also demonstrate a certain plasticity, i.e. an ability to adapt to the environment, in which they are deposited, reflecting the minute differences in features ...

5.1 INTRODUCTION MIMO wireless systems have demonstrated the potential to increase communication spectral efficiency in a rich multipath environment. From an antennas perspective, different array configurations and types of element have been proposed and analyzed for MIMO links. Nowadays in military and commercial applications there have been ever growing demands for antennas. The standard dipo...

1.    introduction textile industry has a significant impact on the environment because large amount of water and chemicals is used in various processes of this industry such as sizing, scouring, washing, bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing that leads to production of hazardous wastewater. this wastewater contains dying substances which remain visible even at low concentrations. water cla...

Luminescent nanofibers are a particular class of nanofibers. Like the other members of this family, they are very small objects whose typical diameters range between 50 to 500 nm (it is noteworthy that beyond these values, the term of microfibers is more appropriate) and lengths can reach several hundred micrometers. Besides, they display special photophysical behavior. By definition, fluoresce...

results of numerical simulation of intra-cloud electrification depend on a mechanism that determines the sign and magnitude of charge transferred to hydrometeors (including graupels and ice crystals), through their collision (mansell et al., 2005). some of the microphysical processes play an important role in the above mechanism. in order to estimate the amount and sign of the transmitted charg...

The carbon nanotube (CNT) is a unique form of carbon material. Since its discovery, CNT has been intensively studied due to its remarkable electrical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties (Iijima, 1991; Katz & Willner, 2004). Based on the structures and dimensions, CNTs can be divided into two groups: single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). An S...
