In psychoanalytic theory, Oedipus complex denotes the emotions and ideas that the mind keeps in the unconscious, via dynamic repression, that concentrate upon a boy's desire to sexually possess his mother (Freud.1900). In the course of his psychosexual development, the complex is the boy's phallic stage formation of a discrete sexual identity; a girl's analogous experience is the Electra comple...

First we recall the layout recommended within a bibliography for a translation of a document. Then we explain why entries for translated works cannot be specified nicely if we use BibTEX. A solution is proposed for future implementation in MlBibTEX.

Current middleware technology for ubiquitous computing connects mobile computers to services in the environment. This is often insufficient because it doesn't address the issue of services depending on other services. The DWARF framework offers a decentralized approach to configuring and coordinating interdependent services. Typical ubiquitous computing scenarios let mobile users access station...

Readers The challenge of understanding reading comprehension derives, in part, from the difficulty of defining its borders. Comprehension was defined by the Research and Development (RAND) Reading Study Group (RRSG, 2002) as ‘‘the process of simultaneously constructing and extracting meaning through interaction and engagement with print.’’ This definition was intended to signal the importance o...

Publishing graded readers is big business, but there is evidence that the texts themselves are not being read in sufficient quantity to improve language proficiency. This article reports on a study of graded readers, focusing on interviews with some major publishers of graded readers, to investigate their production rationales. The findings suggest that the opinions of the ultimate consumers, t...

In recent years, the Education for All movement has focused more intensely on the quality of education, rather than simply provision. Many recent and current education quality interventions focus on literacy, which is the core skill required for further academic success. Despite this focus on the quality of literacy instruction in developing countries, little rigorous research has been conducte...

Reading is an important skill for gaining knowledge and discovering new information in a global society. Reading competence also strongly influences a person’s learning ability. However, in building better reading skills, one of the major difficulties is an absence of background knowledge to help learners read and understand material. Background knowledge helps learners make connections to cons...

Found in the collected works of Eisenstein are twenty continued fraction expansions. The expansions have since emerged in the literature in various forms, although a complete historical account and self-contained treatment has not been given. We provide one here, motivated by the fact that these expansions give continued fraction expansions for modular forms. Eisenstein himself did not record p...

Background A significant body of research supports the notion that best practice in the teaching and learning of language incorporates complementary use of technology with the development of foundational knowledge and use of language (Hoopingarner 2009; Goh et al. 2004). Sometimes referred to as e-language learning, myriad opportunities exist for the exploration of the innovative ways technolog...
