Abstract This study aimed at investigating the relationship between Iranian EFL learners’ reading strategy use and Emotional Intelligence (EI) as well as exploring the most frequently-used reading strategies which can facilitate the process of reading comprehension. To this end, a group of 60 was selected out of 274 university learners majoring in TEFL and English Translation. Based on English ...

This study explored the relationship between EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers’ emotional intelligence (EI) and their students’ motivational attributes. Additionally, it investigated the contribution of EFL teachers’ EI to students’ motivational factors. To these ends, 30 EFL teachers were selected through convenience sampling from language institutes in Najaf-Abad, and were asked to...

Consider a continuous time, finite state Markov chain X = {Xt, t ∈ [0, T ]}. We identify the states of this process with the unit vectors ei in R N , where N is the number of states of the chain. We consider stochastic processes defined on the filtered probability space (Ω, F , {Ft}, P), where {Ft} is the completed natural filtration generated by the σ-fields Ft = σ({Xu, u ≤ t}, F ∈ FT : P(F ) ...

BACKGROUND The skeletal muscle echo intensity (EI) during ultrasound imaging has been investigated to evaluate the muscle quality. However, EI fluctuates according to the scanning conditions. METHODS The motor functions and ultrasound images of 19 elderly (73 ± 3.2 years) and 19 young (22 ± 1.5 years) individuals were investigated and an EI frequency component was assessed for more reliable e...

In this note I describe a recent result ([14]-[15]) on homogenization and error estimates of a free boundary problem, which describes quasi-static contact angle dynamics on inhomogeneous surface. The method presented here also applies to more general class of free boundary problems with oscillating boundary velocities. Let us define ei ∈ IR, i = 1, ..., n such that e1 = (1, 0, .., 0), e2 = (0, ...

In Western countries underestimation of energy intake (EI) is considered a serious problem in dietary surveys, but information on the accuracy of EI among Japanese people is sparse. We compared estimated EI with measured total energy expenditure (TEE) in 21 Japanese women aged 20-22 y. Dietary intake was estimated by 7-d weighed dietary records (7dWR) and a self-administered diet history questi...

Let e1, e2, . . . be a sequence of edges chosen uniformly at random from the edge set of the complete graph Kn (i.e. we sample with replacement). Our goal is to choose, for m as large as possible, a subset E ⊆ {e1, e2, . . . , e2m}, |E| = m, such that the size of the largest component in G = ([n], E) is o(n) (i.e. G does not contain a giant component). Furthermore, the selection process must ta...
