This paper argues that intentionally developing students’ epistemological awareness as well as materializing common imagination will facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration. Drawing on Itten’s Basic Design Course [9] and providing a framework based on Bachelard’s material imagination [4], a tangible interaction curriculum was designed to guide students through a process of building epistemic...

Considering the benefits of preparation for writing in the pre-writing phase, this study attempted to examine the effects of different pre-task strategic planning activities (i.e., pre-task form-focus planning, content-focus planning, and no planning) on writing accuracy and motivation. To achieve the objectives of this study, sixty intermediate EFL learners were selected from an English langua...

In the present work, we adopt a nonlinear scalar field theory coupled to gravity sector model galactic dark matter. We find analytical solutions for considering weak limit, which is usually done in galaxy rotation curves analysis and order do so assume an isotropic spacetime potential, with position dependent form of superpotential, entails dynamics self-interactions. The introduces enhancement...

It is common in signal processing to model signals in the log power spectrum domain. In this domain, when multiple signals are present, they combine in a nonlinear way. If the phases of the signals are independent, then we can analyze the interaction in terms of a probability density we call the “devil function,” after its treacherous form. This paper derives an analytical expression for the de...

Understanding the interaction between a weakly ionized gas and a shock wave is important for detailed knowledge of the conditions of planetary atmospheric entry. This interaction can manifest itself in the form of a localized increase of electron temperature, plasma induced shock dispersion and acceleration, optical emission enhancement, or double electric layers. In our work, a microwave disch...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of textual enhancement and metalinguistic explanation as focus-on-form tasks tending to encourage the acquisition of nominal clauses (NCs) in English. It explored (a) whether textual enhancement and metalinguistic explanation would promote and enhance the knowledge of NCs, (b) whether these two tasks would differ in terms of enhancing learners' knowled...
