Ethnic density is not associated with psychological distress in immigrant groups in the Netherlands ABSTRACT Background

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of meaning-focused versus form-focused input-oriented and output-oriented task-based instruction on elementary level Iranian EFL Learners’ vocabulary comprehension and recall. For this purpose, a sample of 120 male students from a private school in Tehran was selected through convenience sampling and based on availability. The participants were...

Unit testing is a methodology for testing small parts of an application independently of whatever application uses them. It is time consuming and tedious to write unit tests, and it is especially difficult to write unit tests that model the pattern of usage of the application they will be used in. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) addresses the problem of separation of concerns in programs whic...

The lack of HCI offerings in the invention of novel software applications and the bias of design knowledge towards desktop GUI make it difficult for us to design for novel scenarios and applications that leverage emerging computational technologies. These include new media platforms such as mobiles, interactive TV, tabletops and large multi-touch walls on which many of our future applications w...

In this work, electrospinnable and water stable soyprotein was extracted by using a reducing agent in mild alkaline condition, and novel 3D zein and 3D pure soyprotein electrospun scaffolds with three-dimensionally and randomly oriented fibers and large interconnected pores were successfully fabricated by reducing surface resistivity of materials. This unique structure is different from most el...

This paper presents a novel deductive object base language, called ROL (Rule-based Object Language), which has been implemented at the University of Regina and is available via anonymous ftp. It eeectively integrates important features of object-oriented databases and deductive databases into a uniform framework. It supports object-oriented features such as object identity , complex objects, cl...

There is a general consensus that courses on data security at university degree level should be research-oriented and teach fundamentals of the field, i.e., items of long-term knowledge in contrast to technology-oriented system knowledge. Unfortunately, this consensus often results in courses that are either too theoretical or are outdated with respect to current developments in security techno...

How can diversity-oriented strategies for chemical synthesis provide chemical tools to help shape our understanding of complex cancer pathways and progress anti-cancer drug discovery efforts? This review (surveying the literature from 2003 to the present) considers the applications of diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS), biology-oriented synthesis (BIOS) and associated strategies to cancer biolo...
