Abstract In addressing the widening research–practice gap in field of second language (L2) education, an increasing emphasis has been placed on a bidirectional and mutually beneficial relationship between L2 researchers practitioners. Through lens ecosystems model, this qualitative study explored how seven at research center China, who collaborated with practitioners other stakeholders developi...

Initially it was believed that when ELT-2 was knocked out in nematodes this caused the nematodes to become sick from all pathogens, even ones that were not previously pathogenic. However, an experiment conducted later suggested that in older cultures of bacteria the ELT-2 knocked out nematodes do not become sick from pathogens that were previously nonpathogenic. In order to clarify the role of ...

OBJECTIVES Ethanol is bactericidal against most pathogens implicated in central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and biofilms. Current Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines cite insufficient evidence to support adjunctive ethanol-lock therapy (ELT) for central venous catheter (CVC) salvage in patients with CLABSI in combination with systemic antimicrobial treatment. ...

A recent surge in textbooks studies has revealed a closer link with neoliberalism and the way they construct neoliberal subjects. This paper uses Foucauldian governmentality as conceptual lens to analyze discourses EFL used English Access Microscholarship (EAM)—one of US-aided global ELT programs Pakistan. language learners' views on course outcomes were also examined. The study shows that amon...

The family of lapped orthogonal transforms is extended to include basis functions of arbitrary length. Within this new family, the extended lapped transform (ELT) is introduced, as a generalization of the previously reported modulated lapped transform (MLT). Design techniques and fast algorithms for the ELT are presented, as well as examples that demonstrate the good performance of the ELT in s...

The spread of English as a global language has resulted in several changes, which challenge the foundations how should be taught and learned. To match today‘s sociolinguistic realities, researchers have called for paradigm shift from traditional pedagogy to new that can prepare students use international communication involving different varieties its cultures. purposes this study are...

BACKGROUND Ethanol lock therapy (ELT) with systemic antimicrobial therapy is a promising therapy for catheter-related infection (CRI). The impact of ELT timing on treatment efficacy and costs is unknown. PROCEDURES A prospective study was conducted in the Hematology/Oncology Unit at the Children's Hospital of Michigan. Patients with suspected CRI were randomized to Preemptive ELT arm or Rescu...

INTRODUCTION Interpersonal early life trauma (I-ELT) is associated with a myriad of functional impairments in adulthood, increased risk of drug addiction, and neuropsychiatric disorders. While deficits in emotional regulation and amygdala functioning are well characterized, deficits in general cognitive functioning have also been documented. However, the neural underpinnings of cognitive dysfun...

Development of the vulva in C. elegans is mediated by the combinatorial action of several convergent regulatory inputs, three of which, the Ras, Wnt and Rb-related pathways, act by regulating expression of the lin-39 Hox gene. LIN-39 specifies cell fates and regulates cell fusion in the mid-body region, leading to formation of the vulva. In the lateral seam epidermis, differentiation and cell f...

BACKGROUND The Japan Society of Clinical Pathology (JSCP) has developed a guideline for common diagnostic test utilization in new primary care outpatients. To determine the scientific and economic validity of the JSCP panel testing system, we analyzed cost-effectiveness parameters of test panels advocated. METHODS The "Essential Laboratory Tests" panel (2) [ELT(2) panel], a package of common ...
