<p>This paper reinforces the importance of third language acquisition research in a multilingual context focusing on experience, vocabulary learning strategies, emotional self-regulation and anxiety. This study explored three languages: Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, to know if there are significant relationships between above variables acquisition. Three specific sets survey questionnaires...

BACKGROUND Although accelerated high-spatial-resolution cardiovascular MR (CMR) myocardial perfusion imaging has been shown to be clinically feasible, there has not yet been a direct comparison with standard-resolution methods. We hypothesized that higher spatial resolution detects more subendocardial ischemia and leads to greater diagnostic accuracy for the detection coronary artery disease. T...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Variability in computed tomography angiography (CTA) acquisitions may be one explanation for the modest accuracy of the spot sign for predicting intracerebral hemorrhage expansion detected in the multicenter Predicting Hematoma Growth and Outcome in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Using Contrast Bolus CT (PREDICT) study. This study aimed to determine the frequency of the spot si...

OBJECTIVE To assess the image quality and effective radiation dose of prospectively electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated high-pitch spiral acquisition mode (flash mode) of dual-source CT (DSCT) coronary angiography (CTCA) in patients with high heart rates (HRs) as compared with retrospectively ECG-gated spiral acquisition mode. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred and sixty-eight consecutive patients (...

Business expansions along with number of new companies being engaged in variety of industries aimed at getting bigger market share, underscored the role of corporate governance within the financial sphere.

Objective: It has been shown that berberine, a major component of Berberis vulgaris extract, modulates the activity of several neurotransmitter systems including dopamine (Da) and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) contributing to rewarding and reinforcing effects of morphine. Drug craving and relapsing even after a long time of abstinence therapy are the most important problems of addiction. In the p...

The present paper aimed to study the effect of pairwise video check feedback (including the observation of external pattern of skill performance and performing the skill simultaneously) on the learning on acquisition and learning of eye-hand coordination skill. Computer skill of eye-hand coordination skill was the tool used in this study. 24 subjects were randomly selected and equally divided...

Many studies indicate the favorable effect of biochar on soil quality and plant fitness. A few interactions with rhizosphere bacteria their impact development nutrient acquisition have been reported. In this study, pot experiments in a glasshouse were performed to figure out interactive beneficial Pseudomonas putida TSAU6 amendment wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth, uptake, biological activit...

BACKGROUND This study examines changes in socio-demographic, environmental and intrapersonal factors associated with dog acquisition in non-dog owners at baseline to 12-months follow-up and the effect of dog acquisition on minutes per week of recreational walking. METHODS RESIDE study participants completed self-administered questionnaires (baseline and 12-months follow-up) measuring physical...
