This paper examines students’ perspectives on the challenges raised by their first encounter with EMI pedagogy in higher education. The research was conducted a group of beginner students no previous experience monolingual instruction English. case studied is based two English Cultural Studies subject courses Program at Spanish university and taught learning environment total linguistic immersi...

NCAP algorithm is designed to prevent competitive atrial pacing in Medtronic dual-chamber pacemakers and is nominally 'on'. It is activated on sensing atrial activity (AR) in the postventricular atrial refractory period. AR event does not trigger a ventricular pace. Also, NCAP algorithm delays the A pace for 300 ms (non-programmable in pacemakers) after AR even though, lower rate or sensor indi...

Extracellular adherence protein (Eap) constitutes an important virulence factor enhancing binding and internalization of Staphylococcus aureus into eukaryotic cells. In the present study 63 S. aureus isolates from cancer patients were examined for the existence of the Eap-encoding gene (eap) before and after in vitro X-irradiation using PCR amplification to determine whether this gene could be ...

How to estimate the diffusion Ensemble Average Propagator (EAP) from the DWI signals in q-space is an open problem in diffusion MRI field. Many methods were proposed to estimate the Orientation Distribution Function (ODF) that is used to describe the fiber direction. However, ODF is just one of the features of the EAP. Compared with ODF, EAP has the full information about the diffusion process ...

The present study assessed the beneficial skeletal muscle‑preserving effects of extracellular polysaccharides from Aureobasidium pullulans SM‑2001 (Polycan) (EAP) on dexamethasone (DEXA)‑induced catabolic muscle atrophy in mice. To investigate whether EAP prevented catabolic DEXA‑induced muscle atrophy, and to examine its mechanisms of action, EAP (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) was administered orall...

The EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) defines extensions to the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to support efficient re-authentication between the peer and an EAP Re-authentication (ER) server through a compatible authenticator. This document specifies Diameter support for ERP. It defines a new Diameter ERP application to transport ERP messages between an ER authenticator and the ER...

This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for authentication and session key distribution using the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) mechanism. UMTS AKA is based on symmetric keys, and runs typically in a UMTS Subscriber Identity Module, a smart card like device. EAP-AKA includes optional identity privac...

IP multicast is best-known for its bandwidth conservation and lower resource utilization. The present service model of multicast makes it difficult to restrict access to authorized End Users (EUs) or paying customers. Without an effective receiver access control, an adversary may exploit the existing IP multicast model, where a host or EU can join any multicast group by sending an Internet Grou...

The occupational health area is developing models with a variety of methods to address and prevent job stress at the organization-level. A review of literature on employee assistance program (EAP) was conducted to explore relevant methods from its perspective. Result reveals that EAP is a potential good partner in the efforts to prevent Job stress at organization-level. Keywords-job stress; str...
