this study compared the effects of two annotation modalities on the reading comprehension of iranian intermediate level efl learners. the two experimental groups under study received treatment on 10 academic l2 reading passages under one of two conditions: one group received treatment on key words in the reading passages through a multimedia environment providing textual annotations. the second...

this research aims to develop a theory of talent management. the research method is qualitative based on grounded theory. data were gathered in investment market as theoric sampling and 16 interviews were done by managers of investment market. the results of open, axial and selective coding lead to develop dual-core hr architecture theory. based on this theory, organizations should differentiat...

We study subsets of Grassmann varieties G(l, m) over a field F , such that these subsets are unions of Schubert cycles, with respect to a fixed flag. We study the linear spans of, and in case of positive characteristic, the number of Fq-rational points on such unions. Moreover we study a geometric duality of such unions, and give a combinatorial interpretation of this duality. We discuss the ma...

Draft chapter for the conference on " Pathways to Literacy Achievement This chapter presents a dual coding theoretical and prescriptive analysis of early education in " ordinary " and impoverished environments. The first of two parts begins with the historical background of two intellectual solitudes that eventually came together in dual coding theory (DCT), followed by a summary of the theory ...

words from school subjects will be more difficult to define and categorize, will be more confusable, and will show other theoretically and pedagogically interesting differences from concrete words. With respect to the meaning of larger verbal units, such as sentences and paragraphs, experimental research has also demonstrated a major role for imagery processes. Paivio and Begg (1971b) showed th...

The Kneser-Hecke-operator is a linear operator defined on the complex vector space spanned by the equivalence classes of a family of self-dual codes of fixed length. It maps a linear self-dual code C over a finite field to the formal sum of the equivalence classes of those self-dual codes that intersect C in a codimension 1 subspace. The eigenspaces of this self-adjoint linear operator may be d...

We construct a family of weight functions on finite abelian groups that yield invertible MacWilliams identities for additive codes. The weights are obtained composing a suitable support map with the rank function of a graded lattice that satisfies certain regularity properties. We express the Krawtchouk coefficients of the corresponding MacWilliams transformation in terms of the combinatorial i...

In a recent dissertation study, research was conducted to evaluate online instructors’ characteristics and preferences concerning the use of a telementor, or online instructor’s assistant, as a part on an online course. Those who participated in the anonymous survey came from a sample of two thousand online instructors from colleges and universities located across the United States. Of those co...
