this study investigated the relative effects of deductive and inductive form-focused instruction (ffi) on the acquisition of 4 non-generic definite article uses(cultural, situational, structural, and textual) as assessed by explicit and implicit outcome measures. the tests utilized to assess efl learners' acquisition of definite article uses were timed and untimed grammaticality judgment t...

The numerical solution of large scale multi-dimensional convection diffusion equations often requires efficient parallel algorithms. In this work, we consider the extension of a recently proposed non-overlapping domain decomposition method for two dimensional time dependent convection diffusion equations with variable coefficients. By combining predictor-corrector technique, modified upwind dif...

In this paper, we analyze the semiblind mutual information (MI) between the input and output of a MIMO channel. To that end we consider the popular block fading model. We assume that some training/pilot symbols get inserted at the beginning of each burst. We show that the average MI over a transmission burst can be decomposed into symbol position dependent contributions. The MI component at a c...

The efficiency and accuracy are usually regarded as two general indices to check capability of a numerical method with respect to the time integration. The traditional numerical manifold method (NMM) employs implicit scheme to obtain high computational accuracy, but the efficiency is relatively low, especially when the iterations of contacts are involved. In this paper, the temporal coupled exp...

We (k;~,.c,ibe a set of rt,o(lttle.,i that together tuake up a grapheme-to phoneme conversion system for Dutch. Modules include a syflabificatiou program, a fast morphological parser, a lexical database, a phonological knowledg*: base, transliteration rules, and phonological rnles. Knowledge and procedures were intlflenmnted object-orientedly. We contrast GRAFON to recent p . t e r n recognitkm...
