This paper investigates the effectiveness of concordance-based material for an EFL problem—misordering in expressions of measurement. A specifically designed preand posttest is developed for testing Thai students’ ability to use the expression. The sample comprises four groups of university students in their first and second years (two groups each). One first year group and one sophomore group ...

A new algorithm was advanced in this paper to do the auto-layout of the network topology. All the vertexes and edges of a graph are assigned some geometrical properties such as degrees, outerdegrees, coordinate and consistency. Thus, these vertexes will be arranged around the centre of a circle and from the inner circle to the outer circle forming a series of concentric circles. This kind of ar...

In the supervisor control theory framework of discrete-event systems, modular or decentralised control schemes are proposed and used to overcome computational complexity problem. However in most studies, the eligibility conditions to establish those schemes are required to be verified for every specification. This means that even a minor modification of specifications such as production sequenc...

Tobacco consumption is a risk factor for chronic diseases and worldwide around six million people die from long-term exposure to first- or second-hand smoke annually. One effective approach to tobacco control is smoking cessation counseling by primary care physicians. However, research suggests that smoking cessation counseling is not sufficiently implemented in primary care. In order to unders...

We describe a general technique for embedding certain amalgamated products into direct products. This technique provides us with a way of constructing a host of finitely presented subgroups of automatic groups which are not even asynchronously automatic. We can also arrange that such subgroups satisfy, at best, an exponential isoperimetric inequality.
