The present study compares the performance of two TEFL reading classes: one taking place in a regular classroom and the other held in a computer lab, with the learners practicing reading online. The results of an independent samples t-test showed that the difference between the learners’ scores on their reading comprehension post-tests and pretests did not differ statistically significantly fro...

This paper describes the design of the SQUASH system, the SFU Question Answering Summary Handler, developed by members of the Natural Language Lab from the SFU School of Computing Science in order to participate in the 2005 Document Understanding Conference (DUC-2005) summarization task. The system design involves semantic role labelling, semantic subgraph-based sentence selection and automatic...

Nieuwland et al. (2017, http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/02/25/111807) recently made available their (thus far to our knowledge) unpublished manuscript, describing a nine-lab replication attempt of DeLong, Urbach and Kutas (2005), hereafter DUK05. They concluded that over their nine labs, the a/an Article prediction effect reported in DUK05 did not replicate. Here, we highlight some featur...

Microorganisms have been empirically used since ancestral times to produce fermented dairy products from milk. In the actual dairy industry, milk is subjected to large scale fermentation processes that involve microorganisms mostly belonging to the Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) group. Bacteriophages that infect LAB have been claimed as one of the principal sources of fermentation failure (spoilage...

Die Dynamik der Informationstechnologie und steigende Komplexität von Informationssystemen schlägt sich auch im Informationssicherheitsmanagement nieder. Informationssicherheitsstandards haben sich als generische Lösungen für eine Vielzahl von Aufgaben etabliert. Inwieweit derartige Standards die benötigte ganzheitliche Betrachtung vorsehen ist bislang nicht geklärt. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wir...

The paper presents the results of the project Petri Net Web-based Laboratory (PN Web-Lab) that has been developed for the training of the Control Engineering students in discrete-event systems (DES) modelled by Petri nets. The main objectives envisaged by the PN Web-Lab are: the simulation, analysis and design of DES within a familiar framework (using any Java-supported Internet browser), the i...
