although investigating the factors that influence test scores is important, a majority of stakeholders show a paucity of attention towards individual learner differences due to having large classes of l2 learners. this study sought to explore the possible effect of working memory and cognitive style on l2 learners’ metaphorical test performance. the study was conducted in 2 phases. the first ph...

laboratory data, which relate the liquefaction resistance of firoozkooh sand and non-plastic silt mixtures to shear wave velocity are presented and compared to liquefaction criteria derived from seismic field measurements by andrus and stokoe [1]. in the work described herein, cyclic triaxial and resonant column tests were conducted on specimens of clean sand and sand-silt mixtures with silt co...

Aims. The test-field method for computing turbulent transport coefficients from simulations of hydromagnetic flows is extended to the regime with a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) background. Methods. A generalized set of test equations is derived using both the induction equation and a modified momentum equation. By employing an additional set of auxiliary equations, we obtain linear equations descr...

objective: scientificstudies have shown that vitis vinifera (v. vinifera) contains flavonoids and stillbenoids. flavonoids are well known to possess anxiolytic activities. in view of the idea that flavonoids present in v. vinifera could be useful in anxiety, we evaluated anxiolytic-like activity of v. vinifera juice (vvj). materials and methods: light/dark box and the open field test were used ...
