efl students gender and socioeconomic status: the use of politeness strategies in the first and second languages

within the components of communicative competence, a special emphasis is put on the “rules of politeness,” specifically the politeness strategies (brown and levinson, 1978) that speakers deploy when performing the request speech act. this is because the degree of imposition that making a request places upon one’s interlocutor(s) has been seen to be influenced by several factors among which, as ...

hidden state estimation in the state space model with first-order autoregressive process noise

in this article, the discrete time state space model with first-order autoregressive dependent process noise is considered and the recursive method for filtering, prediction and smoothing of the hidden state from the noisy observation is designed. the explicit solution is obtained for the hidden state estimation problem. finally, in a simulation study, the performance of the designed method ...

The state of the blog: the first year of eAJKD.

Just over a year ago, AJKD launched an official blog, eAJKD (www.eajkd.org). The impetus was to provide a platform that could be more flexible, interactive, accessible, and nimble than the online repository of articles available at the journal’s website, www.ajkd.org. This was a substantial and novel undertaking, as at the time, no nephrology journals had blogs and, even today, only 9% of gener...

On-line First Principle Models – State Estimation

This paper describes the application of rigorous first principle process models corrected using real time online process data to match current plant response. Marrying detailed and rigorous first principle models, embodying converged heat and material balances, with real-time on-line process data, using State Estimation technology for correction, provides the ideal means of obtaining on-line re...
