Nanocomposites made of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) bundles have attracted researchers’ attention due to their unusual properties such as: light weight, flexibility and stiffness.  In this paper, the effects of straight and rope-shaped bundles on nanocomposite effective mechanical properties are investigated.  First, FEA models are created consisting of CNTs with different shapes of straight and rope-...

AIM This article describes the Clinical Nurse Leader role in implementing person-centred care bundles to improve patient outcomes through an innovative culture of caring. BACKGROUND Demonstrating the financial value of introducing the Clinical Nurse Leader role into an organisation is essential for sustainability. Previous authors have established the Clinical Nurse Leaders' influence on pati...

Lexical bundles are frequent word combinations that commonly appear in different registers. They have been the subject of much research in the area of corpus linguistics during the last decade. While most previous studies of bundles have mainly focused on variations in the use of these word combinations across different registers and a number of disciplines, not much research has been done to e...

Referential ambiguity arises whenever readers or listeners are unable to select a unique referent for a linguistic expression out of multiple candidates. In the current article, we review a series of neurocognitive experiments from our laboratory that examine the neural correlates of referential ambiguity, and that employ the brain signature of referential ambiguity to derive functional propert...

abstractthe study of linguistic devices variously referred to as stance expressions is one of the best means by which the relationship between the writer, the reader, and propositional meaning could be examined. this paper looks at a particular structural group of lexical bundles encoding stance expressions. these are bundles starting with an anticipatory it followed by is, a predicative adject...

Lexical bundles (LBs) are indispensable building blocks and essential constituents of academic discourse. The appropriate utilization the lexical bundle’s approach can effectively enhance students’ understanding LBs in various genres have extensively been studied concerning written spoken language. However, less research has conducted to explore occurrence, nature, frequency Pakistani discourse...

A large body of evidence suggested that both emotion and self-referential processing can enhance memory. However, it remains unclear how these two factors influence directed forgetting. This study speculates that directed forgetting of negative self-referential memory is more difficult than forgetting of other-referential memory. To verify this speculation, we combined the directed forgetting p...
