Research consistently shows that adults engaged in tutored acquisition benefit from explicit instruction several linguistic domains. For preschool children, it is often assumed such does not make a difference. In the present study, we investigated whether affected young learners acquiring morpho-syntactic element. A total of 103 Dutch-speaking kindergartners (M = 5;7) received training miniatur...

The present study attempted the relative effect of explicit teaching of textual metadiscourse markers on ESAP reading comprehension performance of Iranian university students through an awareness raising experiment. A sixty-item multiple choice ESAP reading comprehension test of accounting was developed and validated to act as the pre-test and post-test. The test included items for assessing sp...

This is an expository article the aim of which is to introduce interested students and researchers to the topic of tensor rank, in particular to the construction of explicit tensors of high rank. We try to keep the mathematical concepts and language used as simple as possible to address a broad audience. This article is thought to be an appetizer and does not provide by any means a complete cov...

We introduce explicit fusions of names. An explicit fusion is a process that exists concurrently with the rest of the system and enables two names to be used interchangeably. Explicit fusions provide a small-step account of reaction in process calculi such as the pi calculus and the fusion calculus. In this respect they are similar to the explicit substitutions of Abadi, Cardelli and Curien, wh...

A namespace is a mapping from labels to values. Most programming languages support different forms of namespaces, such as records, dictionaries, objects, environments, packages and even keyword-based parameters. Typically only a few of these notions are first-class, leading to arbitrary restrictions and limited abstraction power in the host language. Piccola is a small language that unifies var...

it is well known that the matrix exponential function has practical applications in engineering and applied sciences. in this paper, we present some new explicit identities to the exponential functions of a special class of matrices that are known as central-symmetric $x$-form. for instance, $e^{mathbf{a}t}$, $t^{mathbf{a}}$ and $a^{mathbf{a}t}$ will be evaluated by the new formulas in this par...
