This study explored corrective feedback (CF) types and their relationship to L2 learners’ intelligence types. Participants were 60 intermediate L2 learners aged 18-29 in Isfahan, Iran. Based on their intelligence types as intrapersonal and interpersonal, the participants were divided into 2 groups. McKenzie’s MI Inventory (1999) and a researcher-designed questionnaire on CF types were employed....

The Lyman-$\alpha$ absorption spectrum associated with photons traversing the intergalactic medium allows us to probe linear matter power down relatively small distance scales. Finding ways of accurately evaluating constraints across large classes candidate models dark-matter physics is thus paramount importance. While such have been evaluated for simple velocity distributions, more complex -- ...

Abstract This article recasts the traditional challenge of calibrating a material constitutive model into hierarchical probabilistic framework. We consider Bayesian framework where parameters are assigned distributions, which then updated given experimental data. Importantly, in true engineering setting, we not interested inferring for single experiment, but rather over population possible samp...

We set out a logic for reasoning about multilevel security of probabilistic systems. This logic includes modalities for time, knowledge, and probability. In earlier work we gave syntactic de nitions of multilevel security and showed that their semantic interpretations are equivalent to independently motivated information-theoretic de nitions. This paper builds on that earlier work in two ways. ...

Tackling major environmental change issues requires effective partnerships between science and governance, but relatively little work in this area has examined the diversity of settings from which such partnerships may, or may not, emerge. In this special feature we draw on experiences from around the world to demonstrate and investigate the consequences of diverse capacities and capabilities i...

A new, intrinsically passive controller for hydraulic human power amplifier is presented. The hydraulic human power amplifier is a tool that amplifies (or attenuates) the force that the human exerts on it. The control objective is to cause the system to behave like a passive mechanical tool when interacting with the human and with the work environment with a specified power scaling factor. Alth...

There has been substantial progress on algorithms for single-agent sequential decision making using partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). A number of efficient algorithms for solving POMDPs share two desirable properties: error-bounds and fast convergence rates. Despite significant efforts, no algorithms for solving decentralized POMDPs benefit from these properties, leading ...

Discriminating among competing statistical models is a pressing issue for many experimentalists in the field of cognitive science. Resolving this issue begins with designing maximally informative experiments. To this end, the problem to be solved in adaptive design optimization is identifying experimental designs under which one can infer the underlying model in the fewest possible steps. When ...

In order for scientific breakthroughs to directly impact the general public, abstract ideas, theories and discoveries must be effectively transformed into real technologies which, when applied, benefit everyday life. Similarly, scientific literature uses the conventions of rhetoric to translate sheer unintelligible data into a wide understanding of its meanings and implications. The public " s ...
