This paper explored role of context, learners’ profiles Urdu–English bilinguals Canada ...

Although age of acquisition (AoA) is frequently used when examining the endpoint second language (L2) learning, it rarely to examine initial phases L2 acquisition. The present study provided a unique look at role AoA in early and literacy by priori selecting two groups Arabic-English speakers based on their ages, 6–8-year-olds (N = 43) 9–13-year-olds 53).

Four synthetic peptides (Peptidyl MIMs; Demeter Biotechnologies, Inc.) were evaluated for their in vitro activity against Acholeplasma laidlawii. Fifty percent effective concentration values ranged from 1 to 15 microM. Three of these compounds are more lethal than cecropin B against A. laidlawii.

A tandem solar cell device whose sub-cells are fabricated exclusively from small molecules (SMs) through both solution-processed and vacuum-processed deposition techniques is described. The front sub-cell's active layer consists of a bulk heterojunction (BHJ) DPP(TBFu)2:PC70BM device while the back cell has a typical bilayer structure employing a 2,4-bis[4-(N,N-diisobutylamino)-2,6-dihydroxyphe...

This paper explores the ways in which the transfer of assumptions from first language (L1) writing can help the process of writing in second language (L2).
