background: a few studies have investigated the effect of the activation mode of adhesive systems on bond strength of fi ber posts to root canal dentin. this study investigated the push-out bond strengths of a glass fi ber post to different root canal regions with the use of two adhesives with light- and dual-cure polymerization modes. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 40 maxillary...

This paper presents a method to create WordNet-like lexical resources for different languages. Instead of directly translating glosses from one language to another, we perform first semantic parsing of WordNet glosses and then translate the resulting semantic representation. The proposed approach simplifies the machine translation of the glosses. The approach provides ready to use semantic repr...

Provision of multiple-choice (MC) glosses, which combines the advantages of glosses and inferring, has recently gained its share of supporters as a potential technique for enhancing L2 texts and increasing word gain for L2 learners. Upon taking an actual TOEFL, the participants underwent a vocabulary pretest to ensure that the target words were unfamiliar to all of them. Half of the participant...

the present study investigated the effect of marginal glosses (both l1 and l2) on incidental vocabulary learning of efl learners. the subject pool consisted of 154 third-semester iranian students enrolled at azad university, central branch. after administering a proficiency test, 90 homogeneous students were assigned to two experimental groups (x1 & x2) and one control group. afterwards, a 50 -...

to investigate the effects of different glossing conventions on vocabulary recognition and recall, 158 participants were given a pre-test to make sure that they did not have any prior knowledge of the target words. reading passages with four different glossing conventions (interlinear, marginal, pre-text, and post-text) were given to eight groups. four groups received interlingual glosses and f...

A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...

introduction: transient cavitations induced by low frequency irradiation of ultrasound can be used to treat tumors. previous studies in in-vitro experiments have shown that induced cavitation by dual or multiple frequencies of ultrasound is greater than induced cavitation by single frequency irradiation. in this study, we compared and evaluated the treatment effects of dual frequency irradiatio...
