The importance of demotivation in language learning has been overshadowed in the commonplace research on language learning motivation and even in mainstream psychology (Dörnyei, 2005). The purpose behind conducting this study was to investigate the relationship between students’ demotives for studying in general and English language in particular. Besides, the importance of educational context ...

There are a number of reasons that sow nutritional performance during lactation is of great interest to producers. In a series of extension articles, Flowers (2002a,b) indicated that, when troubleshooting reproductive problems in sows, a key event to investigate carefully is feed intake during previous lactation. Besides the reproductive performance of the sow, piglet performance is also intrin...

The aim of this paper is to emphasize the studies carried out for the new generation of hydrazine pump s, in terms of modeling, control and experiments in order to optimize the use of gas. It consists of an actuator conception for which it is possible to move the hydrazine pump leading to very short required displacements. It may be shown that the main advantage in using these new devices is th...

In this paper, a robust watermark scheme for copyright protection is proposed. By modifying the original image in transform domain and embedding a watermark in the difference values between the original image and its reference image, the proposed scheme overcomes the weak robustness problem of embedding a watermark in the spatial domain. Besides, the watermark extraction does not require the or...

This paper allows the backorder rate as a control variable to widen applications of a continuous review inventory model. Moreover, we also consider the backorder rate that is proposed by combining Ouyang and Chuang 2001 or Lee 2005 with Pan and Hsiao 2001 to present a new form. Thus, the backorder rate is dependent on the amount of shortages and backorder price discounts. Besides, we also treat...

This study develops an NN typhoon wave model to accurately and efficiently calculate wave heights at a point of interest. Multi-trend simulating transfer functions were first introduced to exemplify the relationship between wave heights and each conceivable input factor by regressive fitting. The proposed NN–MT model can accurately forecast wave peak with an error of less 1.2 m and with time de...

By connecting the points which are the kind of linear combinations of Bézier control points, a broken line polygon called quasi-control polygon is produced. Using it to approximate Bézier segment, this paper obtains two sharp, quantitative bounds, besides depending on the degree of the polynomial, the bounds depend only on the maximal absolute second differences or the sum of absolute second di...
