Objective: To evaluate tone perception performance in Cantonese-speaking prelingually hearing-impaired children using cochlear implants (CI). Study Design and Setting: The ability to discriminate and identify Cantonese tones was evaluated on 17 native Cantonese-speaking prelingually hearing impaired children. Performance was correlated to factors like age of implantation and general communicati...

The present study aims at investigating the effect of different levels of lexical collocational density on EFL learners’ reading comprehension. Eighty sophomore students with different levels of proficiency studying at  Zand Institute of Higher Education in Shiraz, Iran were chosen from among eighty five learners based on their score distribution on a reduced TOEFL test constructed by Education...

Mục tiêu nghiên cứu này là nhằm điều tra tiềm năng của đồng phân hủy rác thực phẩm (RTP) và lục bình (LB) để cải thiện suất khí sinh học so với chỉ RTP. Ủ yếm bán liên tục các tỷ lệ khác nhau RTP LB được hiện kết quả thể rằng tích ra hằng ngày, cao hơn khi trộn hơn. Cụ là, 0,37±0,03L/ngày, 0,51±0,03L/ngày, 1,03±0,03L/ngày, 1,31±0,04L/ngày 1,71±0,08L/ngày lần lượt cho nghiệm thức 100%RTP, 75%RTP...

: This study aims to explore the relationship between syntactic and lexical complexity and also the relationship between different aspects of lexical complexity. To this end, speech monologs of 35 Iranian high-intermediate learners of English on three different tasks (i.e. argumentation, description, and narration) were analyzed for correlations between one measure of sy...

Since SQL has been accepted as an ANSI standard, how to help SQL users to learn and use the language becomes an important issue for both vendors and training providers. At the same time, with the growing concern fur making DBMS easier to learn and use, the vendors have also used tabular interfaces in their product, such as QBE-like language. Tabular interfaces use two dimensional table-like qua...

A system for Uniform Resource Names (URNs) must be capable of supporting new naming systems. As an example of the sort of information that needs to be supplied when proposing new namepsaces, this document presents a naming system based on the RFC family of documents (RFCs, STDs, and FYIs) developed by the IETF and published by the RFC editor and the minutes of working groups (WG) and birds of a...

this study was intended first to categorize the l2 learners in terms of their learning style preferences and second to investigate if their learning preferences are related to lexical inferencing. moreover, strategies used for lexical inferencing and text related issues of text density and parts of speech were studied to determine their moderating effects and the best predictors of lexical infe...

The neural correlates of semantic plausibility during sentence comprehension were investigated in high and low working memory groups using event-related fMRI. Sentences rated as plausible, implausible, or anomalous were presented followed by a comprehension question. Comprehension was more difficult for sentences with lower plausibility in behavioral measures, and increased BOLD signal was foun...
