Traditional inductive logging uses sources whose focussing input waveform does not change with borehole position. While this arrangement facilitates hardware design, the resolution which it provides varies from formation to formation, and is only accidentally optimal for any given sound position. Optimization theory provides a method for designing a distributed inductive borehole source array ,...

this study investigated the relative effects of deductive and inductive form-focused instruction (ffi) on the acquisition of 4 non-generic definite article uses(cultural, situational, structural, and textual) as assessed by explicit and implicit outcome measures. the tests utilized to assess efl learners' acquisition of definite article uses were timed and untimed grammaticality judgment t...

The present study investigated the effects of three types of input-based approaches, deductive instruction, inductive instruction with problem-solving tasks, and inductive instruction with structured input tasks on the acquisition of pragmatic competence. Sixty adult intermediate proficiency native speakers of Japanese were randomly assigned to one of four groups consisting of three treatment g...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Investigating and understanding chondrogenic gene expression during the differentiation of human breast adipose-derived stem cells (HBASCs) into chondrogenic cells is a prerequisite for the application of this approach for cartilage repair and regeneration. In this study, we aim to characterize HBASCs and to examine chondrogenic gene expression in chondrogenic inductive culture ...
