Aspects of communicative classroom discourse that may affect the potential of recasts to be noticed as negative evidence by young second-language learners are examined in a database of transcripts of over 18 hours of interaction recorded during 27 lessons in…

The research examines the development of women's prison writing through the journal of the Kingston Prison for Women, Tightwire. The journal enabled the prisoners to articulate their experience of prison for themselves as a specific subject-group, as women and as…

Technological innovation requires a technical preparation in material, financial and human resources. However, without a clear corporate culture, the technical side of technological innovation will hardly develop in a satisfactory manner.
In this light, we analyze the origin of a…

Voltammetry and FTIR–ATR techniques have been employed to investigate polyphenol films formed on platinum surfaces by electrochemical oxidation of phenol. The media used in the electropolymerization were aqueous carbonate solutions, with and without Na2S. The polymeric films created are not…

The electrodeposition of lead dioxide from lead(II) nitrate in an acid medium has
been used as a test reaction to study the effects of an ultrasound field. The different behaviours found between platinum and glassy carbon electrodes have been compared…

As the younger generation of born digital library users and even well-established scholars rely increasingly on Google, or its new products Google Scholar and Google Book, for information resource discovery and access, libraries are finding it increasingly difficult to ensure…

A genetically diverse population of Setaria sphacelata was developed at Gainesville, Florida by intercrossing the cultivars ?Narok?, ?Kazungula? and ?Solander? and a local persistent population. To determine heritability of traits that may improve setaria as a forage plant in Florida,…

O problema da resistência em nematódeos gastrintestinais de caprinos, associado ao crescente interesse por alternativas de controle, levou à investigação da ação de Azadirachta indica sobre estes parasitas. No teste in vitro observou-se a ação ovicida e larvicida de extratos…

In this work, we have applied the fractional Fourier transform to obtain the Fresnel diffraction patterns in a theoretical eye. The FRT approach to Fresnel diffraction is easily implemented in a Gullstrand-Emsley theoretical eye, and it allows us to obtain…

The exclusionary rule which prohibits references to parliamentary materials as an aid to statutory interpretation has been applied for decades in most common law jurisdictions. The House of Lords handed down its fundamental decision in Pepper v. Hart which allowed…
