This article presents a comparative analysis of five quasi-experimental studies involving close to 1,200 students, ranging in age from 7 to 14, in 49 French immersion classrooms in Canada - a content-based instructional context where learners develop high levels of…

Four teachers & their eight classes of 179 5th-grade (10-11-year-old) students participated in this quasi-experimental classroom study, which investigated the effects of form-focused instruction (FFI) & corrective feedback on immersion students' ability to accurately assign grammatical gender in French. The…

Nowadays, the material disassembly is an important issue for the industry. This paper presents an algorithm to sequence the task to be performed in the disassembly of a specific material from a product or to separate all the materials of…

This paper describes a method for the automatic inference of structural transfer rules to be used in a shallow-transfer machine translation (MT) system from small parallel corpora. The structural transfer rules are based on alignment templates, like those used in…

One of the major breakthroughs in VLSI technology has been its ability to implement signal processing algorithms and architectures onto cost-effective ASIC and DSP chips.
Works in this area are highly interdisciplinary; they involve interaction among areas such as VLSI…

Artificial Neural Networks belong to the sub-symbolic branch of Artificial Intelligence since they allow to find the solution of a problem without the need of knowing the algorithm necessary to solve it. This turns them into a tool based on…

ABSTRACT: Fifty-three endophytic enterobacteria isolates from citrus, cocoa, eucalyptus, soybean, and sugar cane were evaluated for susceptibility to the antibiotics ampicillin and kanamycin, and cellulase production. Susceptibility was found on both tested antibiotics. However, in the case of ampicillin susceptibility…
