Despite the body of research on textbook evaluation from the discourse analysis perspective, cohesive devices have rarely been analyzed in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) textbooks. The acquisition and use of cohesive devices is inherent to naturalistic communication, including business interactions. Hence, L2 learners of business English should be exposed to these devices through cohesion-...

This article reports a quantitative study that investigated academic achievement in English medium instruction (EMI) courses at public university Turkey. Student test score data on EMI and Turkish (TMI) as well general proficiency scores were collected two divisions: the mathematical, physical, life sciences (MPLS, N = 357); social (N 359).

The present corpus-driven study addresses the current situation of translation criticisms published in print or online in the Iranian media. A sample of 17 criticisms (roughly 68,000 words altogether) from a variety of valid media outlets was compiled. Having been categorized into those with, and those without an ex- plicit theoretical framework, the criticisms were examined on two levels...

background: cd4+ and cd8+ t cells are the main types of lymphocytes in cell-mediated immunity and play a central role in the induction of efficient immune responses against tumors. the frequencies of t cell subtypes in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues, and draining lymph nodes (dln) can be considered as useful markers for evaluation of the immune system in cancers. methods: in this study,...

The dawn of electronic business (e-business) changed the way that individuals interact not only with one another but also companies supply them goods and services, as well government agencies on which they depend for welfare security. We can speak “digital business” (re)design or (re)definition new existing models, creation increased flows connectivity between customers other entities, both int...

I have two main aims. The first is general, and more philosophical (§2). The second is specific, and more closely related to physics (§§3 and 4). The first aim is to state my general views about laws and causation at different 'levels'. The main task is to understand how the higher levels sustain notions of law and causation that 'ride free' of reductions to the lower level or levels. I endeavo...

There are many systems in different subjects such as industry, medicine, transport, social and others, can be discribed on their dynamic of flows. Nowadays models of flows consist of micro-and macro-models. In practice there is a problem of convertation from different levels of simulation. In the different articles author descriptes quasi cellular nets. Quasi cellular nets are new type of discr...
