Teacher training programs in EFL contexts pursue the goal of promoting teaching skills and critical dispositions in prospective and experienced teachers and their ability to reflect on and enhance their mediating roles to maximize learning outcomes. Yet, discrepancies in teachers’ roles during and after the programs are not uncommon and accentuate the need to assess outcomes. This quasi-experim...

Because of the need to develop specific measurement scales for different services industries, this study aimed to empirically develop a reliable and valid model specifically for measuring mobile telecommunication service quality. A multidimensional measurement model (MS-Qual) has been proposed based on an extensive literature review and then, to assess the model validity, convergent and discrim...

JWM, MSC: University of Georgia, Livestock Poultry Building, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, 30602-2771; DR: H330 Veterinary Medicine, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, 306022771 search has shown that in mature sows, maternal recognition of pregnancy is achieved approximately 10–13 days after the onset of estrus and subsequent mating.5 Furthermore, embryonic implantation into the ...

the aim of this research was to examine the effects of pettlep-based imagery compared to more traditional imagery on learning badminton short service (backhand). for this purpose, 45 male students (age 12-14 years) were non-randomly selected and divided into three groups of 15 students each (they were beginners). the groups exercised in the following way: first group performed pettlep-based ima...

We propose a pattern-growth approach for mining sequential patterns from probabilistic databases. Our considered model of uncertainty is about the situations where there is uncertainty in associating an event with a source; and consider the problem of enumerating all sequences whose expected support satisfies a user-defined threshold θ. In an earlier work [Muzammal and Raman, PAKDD’11], adapted...

repeat breeding (rb) is a syndrome and several factors have been identified as its causes. luteal insufficiency is a known cause of embryonic mortality. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of two periods of p4 therapy on the second service and also their effects on the first plus the second service conception rates (cr) of repeat breeder dairy cows. cows included in the study were in...

in this research, both resource allocation and reactive resource allocation problems in multi-server dynamic pert networks are analytically modeled, where new projects are expected to arrive according to a poisson process, and activity durations are also known as independent random variables with exponential distributions. such system is represented as a queuing network, where multi servers at ...

the study was carried out at agarfa atvet college dairy farm to evaluate the reproductive performance of holstein friesian× arsi and holstein friesian ×boran cattle. for the study, records compiled from 1983 to 2012 at the agarfa dairy farm were used as original data. the effects of breed, bloodlines, season and parity on the reproductive traits were evaluated. data were analyzed using the gene...
