The crucial impact of knowing about learners reading strategies to acquire a second language has been widely accepted. Therefore, this paper reports study investigating university students' awareness their when they read English academic texts. As many as 39 first-year students took part the research subject, and answered 30-item questionnaire on strategies. A four-point Likert Scale named SORS...

Providing undergraduate students with an opportunity to experience meaningful academic research has a potential impact on their future career choice. Our approach combines two seemingly contradicting attributes: (i) to make it exciting, the effort targets a grand research objective; and (ii) to make the experience self-assuring and overall positive, the concrete task handed to a student is feas...

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

Reading strategies are crucial in education. This research focused on Timorese language students’ levels of reading strategies. It attempted to answer two questions; (1) What the metacognitive awareness strategies? and (2) How do students apply their experiences? A mixed-method design was adopted. Mokhtari & Sheorey’s (2002) Survey Strategies (SoRS) used collect quantitative data. The findi...

Scalable shared memory multiprocessors commonly employ replication and the associated coherency maintenance of memory blocks, but diier in the granularity from ne-grain (cache-coherent multiproces-sors) to coarse-grain (page-based distributed shared memory systems). Regardless of the size of coherency blocks, attaining good performance may depend on the number of copies staying small. Previous ...

For matrix multiplication on hypercube multiproces-sors with the product matrix accumulated in place a processor must receive about P 2 = p N elements of each input operand, with operands of size P P distributed evenly over N processors. With concurrent communication on all ports, the number of element transfers in sequence can be reduced to P 2 = p N logN for each input operand. We present a t...

Time Resolved Raman Spectroscopy (TRRS) can provide subsurface information from multi-layered samples of transparent and translucent evaporative and silicate minerals up to several cm thick. Depth information was obtained using 3-ps pulsed laser excitation at 720 nm and a gated intensified CCD detector with stepwise increasing delay times. Blocks of different minerals were used as first, second...

A new least squares procedure is presented which fuses data from a standard perspective sensor CCD camera FLIR sensor etc and a range sensor LADAR based upon correspond ing features identi ed on a D object model and in each image The algorithm solves for both the pose estimate of the object relative to the sensors and the registration between sen sors This model based coregistration process is ...
