Attendance, L2 motivation, and language learning achievement indicators were pursued in a EAP course at Civil Engineering Department for freshman students . Quantitative methodology via motivated behavior scale, first midterm grades attendance was employed. The survey instrument translated into Turkish, both translation back procedures conducted to ensure the content validity of instruments. st...

Self-assessment helps learners to acquire self-confidence and gives them insightfulfeedbacks. There is no valid self-assessment inventory for learners of English foracademic purposes (EAP). This study aimed at developing an academicallyappropriate instrument to measure tertiary students’ English in academic situations.The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods in developing the se...

EAP courses for various disciplines are designed as a conduit between academic research and practical applications (Paltridge & Starfield, 2013, p. 175). On the other hand, one of the main missions of ESP practitioners is to prepare learners for realities of English on the job (Paltridge & Starfield, 2013, p. 185). This study aimed to provide a profile of target professional English needs of Ir...

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) provides a standard mechanism for support of various authentication methods. This document defines the Command-Codes and AVPs necessary for a Diameter Hiller & Zorn [Page 1] INTERNET-DRAFT Diameter EAP Application June 2002 node to support the PPP Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). 1. Conventions used in this document The key words "MUST", "MU...

BACKGROUND The education and activation program (EAP) is a newly developed intervention to prevent the development of chronic shoulder complaints (SCs). Trained general practitioners (GPs) administer the EAP. The EAP addresses inadequate cognitions and maladaptive behavior related to the SCs. The effect of the EAP is evaluated in a randomized clinical trial. The aim of the present study is to u...

This paper outlines the problems in currently available authentication methods, such as EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP and EAP-FAST, and describes the desirable properties of a standard outer method. We examine the interaction between inner and outer methods and the types of issues that presently exist. We propose a new authentication method, EAP-PSK [PSK] with tunneling support (EAP-TLS-PSK), as an EAP pr...

This document specifies EAP-IKEv2, an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method that is based on the Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) protocol. EAP-IKEv2 provides mutual authentication and session key establishment between an EAP peer and an EAP server. It supports authentication techniques that are based on passwords, high-entropy shared keys, and public key certificates. EAP-IKEv2 further ...

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a generic framework supporting multiple types of authentication methods. In systems where EAP is used for authentication, it is desirable to not repeat the entire EAP exchange with another authenticator. This document specifies extensions to EAP and the EAP keying hierarchy to support an EAP method-independent protocol for efficient re-authenticat...

An alkaline protease gene (Eap) was isolated for the first time from a marine fungus, Engyodontium album. Eap consists of an open reading frame of 1,161 bp encoding a prepropeptide consisting of 387 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 40.923 kDa. Homology comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of Eap with other known proteins indicated that Eap encode an extracellular proteas...
