BACKGROUND Bleeding within the supraglottic region can be a lethal complication after CO(2) laser microsurgery. Our aim was to propose endoluminal anatomical landmarks to locate the superior laryngeal vessels resulting in a safer microsurgery. METHODS Endoluminal dissections were made in 22 larynges without laryngeal disease. RESULTS The neurovascular structures were in the superior third o...

The study of how learners acquire a second language (SLA) has helped to shape thinking about how to teach the grammar of a second language. There remain, however, a number of controversial issues. This paper considers eight key questions relating to grammar pedagogy in the light of findings from SLA. As such, this article complements Celce-Murcia’s (1991) article on grammar teaching in the 25th...

Issues characterizing cloud computing such as security, interoperability, and vendor lock-in are likely to act as inhibitors of the widespread adoption of cloud computing in organizations. These issues call for relational and contractual mechanisms to articulate the desired outcomes of service provisioning and acceptable behavior of service recipients and providers. In this paper we focus on th...

For decades now, questions about the role of corrective feedback in second language acquisition (SLA) have been hotly debated, spawning a great deal of theoretical and empirical research. Although the facilitative role of corrective feedback in SLA has received some empirical support, the claims regarding its impact on SLA have yet to be fully or decisively substantiated. In order to move this ...

In order to illustrate the structure of the swine MHC class I (SLA-I) molecule and to evaluate the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), the ternary complex of the SLA-I molecule termed SLA-1*1502 with β(2)-microglobulin and the CTL epitope TMPPGFELY (PRRSV-NSP9(TY9)) derived from PRRSV nonstructural protein 9 (residues 198-20...

This paper illustrates the advantages of laboratory research into SLA by describing two studies of acquisition of second language syntax. The first addresses the question of whether human morphological abilities can be understood in terms of associative processes or whether it is necessary to postulate rule-based symbol processing systems underlying these skills. We demonstrate that acquisition...

Cloud Computing is used for management of resources applications and information as services over the cloud. The resources used in Cloud are usually distributed as services. Cloud resources are majorly delivered to the customers in terms of services and the security here is implemented through the infrastructure security metrics via a Service Level Agreement (SLA). SLA is a legal framework betw...

To provide high-level quality of network service and prevent contract dissension, a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is an essential key factor in telecommunication industry. While most network service providers normally offer an SLA communicating with legacy monitoring or reporting systems, it is needed to suggest new architecture of an SLA system for accommodating legacy network management syste...
