Abstract The current study aimed to compare the influence of explicit versus implicit instruction on EFL learners’ use interactional metadiscourse markers in their writing. also explore perceptions learners these writing classes. 120 female undergraduates who are Arab took part investigation. A mixed-methods research design was adopted with an group, group and a control group. experimental grou...

The development of implicit schemes for obtaining steady state solutions to the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured grids is outlined. Applications are presented that compare the convergence characteristics of various implicit methods. Next, the development of explicit and implicit schemes to compute unsteady flows on unstructured grids is discussed. Next, the issues involved in p...

A consistent body of literature reported that Parkinson's disease (PD) is marked by severe deficits in temporal processing. However, the exact nature of timing problems in PD patients is still elusive. In particular, what remains unclear is whether the temporal dysfunction observed in PD patients regards explicit and/or implicit timing. Explicit timing tasks require participants to attend to th...

Sex differences in spatial ability are a seriously debated topic, given the importance of spatial ability for success in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and girls' underrepresentation in these domains. In the current study we investigated the presence of stereotypic gender beliefs on spatial ability (i.e., "spatial ability is for boys") in 10- and 12-year-...

Associative computation is characterized by search by content and data parallel computation. Search by content paradigm is natural to scalable high performance heterogeneous computing since use of tagged data makes data independent of implicit addressing mechanisms. In this paper, we present an algebra for associative logic programming, an associative resolution scheme, and a generic framework ...

In three experiments, each of a set colour-unrelated distracting words was presented most often in a particular target print colour (e.g., "month" most often in red). In Experiment 1, half of the participants were told the word-colour contingencies in advance (instructed) and half were not (control). The instructed group showed a larger learning effect. This instruction effect was fully explain...

An innovative central processor architecture is described that exploits the innate parallelism found in the machine language interpretation process. A new instruction encoding method, that facilitates the design of pipelines, is used to design the instruction sets of the controller, memory, and execution units. The problem of incorporating pipelined parallelism with other forms of implicit para...

Learning nonnative speech categories is often considered a challenging task in adulthood. This difficulty is driven by cross-language differences in weighting critical auditory dimensions that differentiate speech categories. For example, previous studies have shown that differentiating Mandarin tonal categories requires attending to dimensions related to pitch height and direction. Relative to...

In this paper I describe and extend a new DNA computing paradigm introduced in Blumberg [4] for building massively parallel machines in the DNA-computing models described by Adelman [1, 2], Cai et. al.[5], and Liu et. al.[8]. Employing only DNA operations which have been reported as successfully performed, I present an implementation of a Connection Machine [7], a SIMD (single-instruction multi...
