Clause Complexity in Applied Linguistics Research Article Abstracts by Native and Non-Native English Writers: Taxis, Expansion and Projection

Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) has stood the test of time as a model of text analysis. The present literature contains a plethora of studies that while taking the ‘clause’ as a unit of analysis have put into investigation the metafunctions in research articles of a single field of study or those of various fields in comparison. Although ‘clause complex’ is another unit of SF analysis, by far there has been only one study on research articles where it was the unit of analysis (Sellami Baklouti, 2011). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to put into analysis the ‘taxis’, ‘expansion’ and ‘projection’ deployed in Applied Linguistics research article abstracts (RAAs) by native (N) and non-native (NN) writers. To this end, 20 Applied Linguistics RAAs (10 by N English writers and 10 by NN English writers on the sub-fields of Discourse Analysis and Language Assessment) were analyzed according to Halliday & Matthiessen’s (2013) ‘clause complex’ framework. The results indicated that there is a significant difference in the use of ‘projection’ by Ns and NNs, while the distribution of ‘taxis’ and ‘expansion’ is the same. The findings also showed what types of ‘taxis’, ‘expansion’ and ‘projection’ were deployed by Ns and NNs.
Alloreactive monofunctional human T cell clones expressing cytotoxic or primed lymphocyte typing reactivity as well as restricted immunogenetic specificities.

Colonies of cloned Τ cells have been obtained from in vitro primed , peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and expanded in order to test their function as well as their immunogenetic specificity. Monofunctional clones have been obtained expressing either cytotoilc (CML) or primed lymphocyte (PLT) reactivity ; each monofunctional colony of cloned Τ cells expresses a restricted pattern of immunogenetic reactivity as compare to the pattern observed at the population level. Some monoclonal xeno-antibodies raised against an alloreactive Τ cell line derived from the same alloactivated combination of responderstimulator, could discriminate between CML clones and PLT clones, while others react with both types of clones but not with the EBV Β cell line derived from the same responder or with unrelated Β cell lines.
INCORPORATING RIGIDITY IN THE TIMING STRUCTURE OF MACROECONOMIC GAMES

This paper proposes a simple framework that generalizes the timing structure of macroeconomic (as well as other) games. Building on alternating move games and models of â€˜rational inattentionâ€™ the playersâ€™ actions may be rigid, ie optimally chosen to be infrequent. This rigidity makes the game more dynamic/asynchronous and by linking successive periods it can serve as commitment. Therefore, it can enhance cooperation and often eliminate inefficient equilibrium outcomes. We apply the framework to the Kydland-Prescott-Barro-Gordon monetary policy game and derive the conditions - the sufficient degree of commitment - under which the influential time-inconsistency problem disappears. Interestingly, (i) this can happen even in a finite game (possibly as short as two periods), (ii) the required degree of commitment may be rather (even infinitesimally) low and (iii) the policymakerÂ’s commitment may substitute for his conservatism and/or patience in achieving credibility. The analysis makes several predictions about explicit inflation targeting and central bank independence (and their relationship) that we show to be empirically supported. In doing so we show that our theoretical results reconcile some conflicting empirical findings of the literature.
The Development of an Infrastructure for a Model of Coaching Principals.

This descriptive study investigates the development of a district leadership coaching program. Specifically, the study examines the creation of a coaching program for elementary principals, the rst six months of monthly meetings between the coaches and district leaders, and the perceived utility of the meetings by the district coaches. Qualitative methods were used to examine: (a) the development of a leadership coaching program for principals, (b) the communication and interaction between coaches and district leadership, and (c) the perceived e ectiveness of the infrastructure. The ndings indicate that when there is a cluster of leadership coaches, as well as regularly scheduled meetings between district leadership and coaches, there may be advantages to the district, the coached principals, and the coaches. 1 The International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation, Volume 6, Number 1, January March, 2011, ISSN 2155-9635 note: This manuscript has been peer-reviewed, accepted, and endorsed by the National Council of Professors of Educational Administration (NCPEA) as a signi cant contribution to the scholarship and practice of education administration.

Unveiling What Is Written in the Stars: Analyzing Explicit, Implicit, and Discourse Patterns of Sentiment in Social Media

Deciphering consumers' sentiment expressions from big data (e.g., online reviews) has become a managerial priority to monitor product and service evaluations. However, sentiment analysis, the process of automatically distilling sentiment from text, provides little insight regarding the language granularities beyond the use of positive and negative words. Drawing on speech act theory, this study provides a fine-grained analysis of the implicit and explicit language used by consumers to express sentiment in text. An empirical text-mining study using more than 45,000 consumer reviews demonstrates the differential impacts of activation levels (e.g., tentative language), implicit sentiment expressions (e.g., commissive language), and discourse patterns (e.g., incoherence) on overall consumer sentiment (i.e., star ratings). In two follow-up studies, we demonstrate that these speech act features also influence the readers' behavior and are generalizable to other social media contexts, such as Twitter and Facebook. We contribute to research on consumer sentiment analysis by offering a more nuanced understanding of consumer sentiments and their implications.
Thermally reduced graphene oxide films as flexible lateral heat spreaders

A thermally reduced graphene oxide film (r-GOF), with tailorable micro-structures and macro-properties, is fabricated by annealing a filtrated graphene oxide film (GOF) in a confined space. The structural evolution of the film at different annealing temperatures is systematically investigated, and further correlated to the thermal conductivity and mechanical performances. With the increase of temperature, more oxygen-containing functional groups are removed from the film by a simultaneous conversion from sp3 to sp2 carbon in the graphitic lattice. As the temperature reached 1200 °C, the r-GOF achieves an ultrahigh thermal conductivity of ca. 1043.5 W m−1 K−1, while 1000 °C is a critical temperature in enhancing the thermal conductivity. Moreover, G1200 exhibits excellent mechanical stiffness and flexibility with a high tensile strength (13.62 MPa) and Young's modulus (2.31 GPa). The combined conductivity and mechanical performances render the r-GOFs promising materials as flexible lateral heat spreaders for electronics.
Feeding ecology of the planehead filefish Stephanolepis hispidus (Pisces: Monacanthidae), in the Canary Islands area

Se examino la ecologia alimentaria de Stephanolepis hispidus, en aguas de las Islas Canarias. El estudio se baso en el contenido estomacal de 823 ejemplares de 8,9 cm a 25,9 cm de longitud total (LT), capturados mensualmente en trampas para peces entre febrero de 1998 y junio de 1999. Aproximadamente el 27,2% de los peces mostraron estomagos vacios. Esta proporcion vario significativamente entre los sexos, pero no entre las clases de tamano o las estaciones evaluadas. La dieta de Stephanolepis hispidus se compone principalmente por hidrozoos, anfipodos, equinodermos y algas. Gastropodos, decapodos y lamelibranquios fueron presas secundarias. De acuerdo con el cambio de la ontogenia, los individuos de pequeno tamano (<12,9 cm LT) se alimentan principalmente de pequenos crustaceos (anfipodos e hidrozoos), mientras que los especimenes de gran tamano consumen equinoideos, algas, crustaceos y lamelibranquios. Hidrozoos y algas son mas importantes en la dieta durante la primavera, y los anfipodos fueron mas importantes en invierno. Los erizos de mar aumentan en verano y otono. Los valores del indice de Morisita indicaron superposicion de la dieta entre individuos de las clases de tallas mas pequenas y mas grande que 12,9 cm LT (S= 0,77). Asimismo, la variacion estacional en la superposicion de la dieta fue alta durante invierno (S= 0,95) y primavera (S= 0,93), pero fue relativamente menor en otono (S= 0,68). Los resultados indicaron que la alimentacion de la especie abarca un estrecho rango de presas con algun grado de selectividad y se compone principalmente por macroinvertebrados.
The genetics of sexual development in East African cichlid fishes

Sexual development leads to the formation of males and females. This process can be controlled genetically, environmentally or by a combination thereof. Genetic sex determination is based on single- or polygenic actions, either linked to sex chromosomes or independent from them, while environmental sex determination includes factors such as temperature, density or social status. Teleost fishes, as the most species-rich clade of vertebrates, feature an overwhelming diversity of sex-determining mechanisms. In contrast to most mammals, where the presence or absence of one single gene defines the sexual fate, several master sex regulators have been identified in fish. Together with the description of complex polygenic regulations and the discovery of new functions of presumably conserved down-stream factors, fish exhibit a greater plasticity in generating males and females than previously thought. East African cichlid fishes are extremely diverse in terms of ecology, morphology and breeding behavior and therefore represent a prime model system in evolutionary biology in general, and in the study of sexual development in particular. Several sex determination systems have been described, which differ sometimes even between closely related species in this fish family. In my thesis, I investigated a set of candidate genes for sexual development in cichlids. More specifically, we studied these genes in adult cichlid species and in one of them also during early male development. Differential gene expression patterns, measured in brain and gonad tissue, were observed between cichlid lineages and within the same species over time. One striking case is the shift in gene expression of the aromatase cyp19a1. In vertebrates, and in all teleosts investigated so far, cyp19a1A and cyp19a1B are expressed in the ovaries and the brain, respectively. In the species rich and extremely diverse haplochromine lineage, we found an overexpression of cyp19a1B in the testis. In another study, we show that Astatotilapia burtoni, a member haplochromine lineage, most likely has an XX-XY sex determination system. Making use of hormonally sex-reversed fish and subsequent crossing experiments, we establish all-male broods, which offered an ideal platform to investigate gene expression of early testis and brain genes. In addition, we identified several promising candidates for genetic sex determiners in this species.
Numerical estimation of the asymptotic behaviour of solid partitions of an integer

The number of solid partitions of a positive integer is an unsolved problem in combinatorial number theory. In this paper, solid partitions are studied numerically by the method of exact enumeration for integers up to 50 and by Monte Carlo simulations using Wang? Landau sampling method for integers up to 8000. It is shown that limn? ln(p3(n))/n3/4 = 1.79 ? 0.01, where p3(n) is the number of solid partitions of the integer n. This result strongly suggests that the MacMahon conjecture for solid partitions, though not exact, could still give the correct leading asymptotic behaviour.
The 3-D-technology: a new competitive arena

In this paper we argue that 3-D printing technology is a form of disruptive innovation that is transforming the design and prototyping service sectors where Knowledge Intensive Business Services (KIBS) are growing in importance. In manufacturing industries they play the role of boosting and strengthening innovation, an especially important role in design-driven sectors. It is in these sectors that 3-D technology is fundamentally transforming the design and production process, and thereby the industry’s business models. The key feature of this technology is that it allows firms to produce small quantities of customized goods at relatively low costs. This is encouraging incumbent companies to add “Business to Consumer” (B2C) activities to their previous “Business to Business” (B2B) business models. It is also accelerating the creation of new design ventures. B2C activities can be undertaken by new, small, firms with few technological capabilities, leveraging external creative sources and crowd-sourcing to create new products. In this paper we describe a number of the changes to business models identified through examination of the practices of a small sample of illustrative cases.
/G)-EXPANSION METHOD FOR SOME SPACE-TIME FRACTIONAL PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, the (G ′ /G)-expansion method is presented for finding the exact solutions of the space-time fractional traveling wave solutions for the Joseph-Egri (TRLW) equation and Gardner equation. The fractional derivatives are described by modified Riemann-Liouville sense. Many exact solutions are obtained by the hyperbolic functions, the trigonometric functions and the rational functions. This method is effi cient and powerful in performing a solution to the fractional partial differential equations. Also, the method reduces the large amount of calculations.
Development and evaluation of the BSC-DREAM8b dust regional model over Northern Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East

The BSC-DREAM8b model and its predecessor are analysed in terms of aerosol optical depth (AOD) for 2004 over Northern Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. We discuss the model performance and we test and analyse its behaviour with new components. The results are evaluated using hourly data from 44 AERONET stations and seasonally averaged satellite observations. The operational versions strongly underestimate the winter AOD over the Sahel and overestimate the AOD over the Middle East and the Mediterranean achieving a low average annual correlation (~0.35). The use of a more detailed size distribution and a corrected wash-out ratio, together with a new dry deposition scheme, improves the transport over the Mediterranean, although underestimations remain over the Sahel and overestimations over the Middle East. The inclusion of a ‘preferential source’ mask improves the localisation of the main North African sources and consequently the dust transport towards Europe and the Atlantic. The use of a more physically based dust emission scheme and a new soil texture database leads to significant improvements in the representation of emissions and the transport over the Sahel, achieving an average annual correlation of 0.53. In this case, the use of a preferential source mask does not introduce significant improvements.
Phylogenetic relationships among members of the Comamonadaceae , and description of Derftia acidovorans ( den Dooren de Jong 1926 and Tarnaoka etal . 1987 ) gen . nov . , comb . now

Cooperative Research Centre for Tropical Plant Pathology 1 and Department of Microbiology Centre for Bacterial Diversity and Identificationz, The University o f Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia CSIRO Tropical Agriculture, S t Lucia, QLD 4067, Australia The phylogenetic relationships among members of the family Comamonadaceae and several unclassified strains were studied by direct sequencing of their PCR-amplified 165 rRNA genes. Based on the I65 rRNA gene sequence analysis, members of the family formed a coherent group. The closest relatives are species of the Rubrivivax sub-group: Leptothrix discophora, ldeonella dechloratans and Rubrivivax gelatinosus. The genus Hydrogenophaga formed two subclusters, as did the species of Acidovorax, whereas the five species of the genus Vlquaspirillum] were polyphyletic. Comamonas acidovorans was phylogenetically distant from the type species of Comamonas, Comamonas terrigena. On the basis of this work and previous studies, Comamonas acidovorans is removed from the genus Comamonas and renamed as Delftia acidovorans gen. nov., comb. nov. Descriptions of the new genus Delftia and of the type species Delftia acidoworans, for which the type strain is ATCC 15668T, are presented.
Optimal Control Strategy for Traffic Driven Epidemic Spreading Based on Community Structure

It is shown that community structure has a great impact on traffic transportation and epidemic spreading. The density of infected nodes and the epidemic threshold have been proven to have significant relationship with the node betweenness in traffic driven epidemic spreading method. In this paper, considering the impact of community structure on traffic driven epidemic spreading, an effective and novel strategy to control epidemic spreading in scale-free networks is proposed. Theoretical analysis shows that the new control strategy will obviously increase the ratio between the first and the second moments of the node betweenness distribution in scale-free networks. It is also found that the more accurate the community is identified, the stronger community structure the network has and the more efficient the control strategy is. Simulations on both computer-generated and real-world networks have confirmed the theoretical results.
Synthesis, Thermal Kinetic Analysis and DFT Calculations of Pyrazine and Pyridine Complexes of Copper(II) Thiocyanate

Two NNN type ligands namely bis-2,6-(pyrazol-1-yl) pyridyne (pp) and bis-2,6-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl) pyridyne (dmpp) were prepared by the use of 2,6-dichloropyridine, pyrazol and 3,5-dimethylpyrazol. Using these ligands with SCN co-ligand two mononuclear Cu(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The complexes were investigated by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) and subjected to isothermal and nonisothermal kinetic analyses. TG and DTA results indicated that the complexes showed two distinctive degradation steps and the NNN type ligand was removed from the structure at temperatures above 300 °C. The activation energies of these complexes and same thermodynamic parameters of these thermal reactions have been calculated. The situation of d orbitals of Cu(II) ion, the electron densities of donor atoms of the ligands, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, the theoretical IR spectra and HOMO-LUMO energy levels computed by the use of DFT/B3LYP methods with 6-311G (d) basis set in Gaussian 09 software. These data were employed to enlighten the thermal degradation of the complexes prepared.

Scale for Identification of Characteristics of Giftedness: Internal structure analysis

Procedures used for identifying giftedness have been widely discussed in the literature. The present study aimed to investigate the evidence of validity based on the internal structure of a self-report scale to identify characteristics of giftedness. The sample consisted of 276 Elementary and Middle School students, aged between 9 and 12 years, and was 60.0% female. The instrument used was the first version of this scale, which was composed of 44 items related to the topic. Exploratory Factor Analysis was carried out, and the results revealed a two-factor solution, explaining 40.4% of the total variance. The first factor was denominated Socio-emotional Characteristics, and the second factor was denominated Cognitive Characteristics. The results corroborate the data in the scientific literature, which suggest that giftedness is a multidimensional construct that encompasses attributes that go beyond the intellectual scope.
