An analytic model comprising the various moves in error correction sequences in second-language classrooms is developed & applied to a database of classroom interaction with a view to relating teachers' corrective feedback with students' responses. The corpus was generated from…

This thesis examines the role nineteenth-century women's literary journals, specifically Ladies' Journal (1823--1833), played in the development of Russian literature. The longest-lived and most-circulated of the pre-Soviet women's literary journals, Ladies' Journal was well-positioned to have contributed to the on-going…

A spectroelectrochemical study of the adsorption and oxidation of serine and alanine on Pt(111) electrodes has been carried out in 0.1 M HClO4 solutions. From the voltammetric and FTIR spectroscopic results, we concluded that adsorbed cyanide is formed at the…

The purpose of this research was to gain an understanding of how music education students come to think of themselves as music educators. Guided by the thematic framework, "learning from experience", which draws upon research relating to constructivist theory and…

Procedures for the selection of subjects for participation in randomized clinical trials--usually formalized as eligibility criteria in the study protocol--have both scientific and ethical implications. In this thesis, I undertake an examination of eligibility criteria at three stages in the…

Abstract: This experiment was conducted to address the issue of spectral integrity of pelleted feces exposed to environmental conditions at different times of the year in near infrared reflectance spectroscopy analysis, using goats as the representative herbivore. Both dietary crude…

Resumo: 0 presente estudo foi realizado em 32 caprinos, adultos, Sem Raça Definida (SRD), sendo 16 machos e 16 fêmeas, com propósito de constatar a existência de alteraçoes funcionais renais em caprinos submetidos à aplicaçào intravenosa de hemolisado, através de…

Doped tin dioxide electrodes have been prepared by a standard spray pyrolysis technique. The electrochemical behaviour of these electrodes has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry in sulphuric acid using the Fe2+/Fe3+ redox couple system as test reaction. Oxygen evolution has…

A spectroelectrochemical study of the adsorption and oxidation of glycine on a Pt(111) electrode has been carried out in 0.1 M HClO4 solution. Two types of adsorbate were identified. On the one hand, strongly adsorbed cyanide which comes from the…

In the industrial obtention of D-a-p-hydroxyphenylglycine the separation of the amino acid is carried out by precipitation and during this process, a mother liquor is produced with a high salt content (phosphates and sulphates) and an amino acid concentration of…
