A Corpus-Based Investigation of the Language and Linguistic Patterns of One Genre and the Implications for Language Teaching
Authors: Henry Alex , Roseberry Robert L.
Published: March 2024

There has been considerable interest in using a genre-based approach to the teaching of language. Genre has been described as a property of texts which allows them to be described as a sequence of segments, or “moves,” with each move accomplishing some part of the overall communicative purpose of the text, while register can be thought of as the language and linguistic patterns of one particular genre. The purpose of this study was to find out whether the registers of different moves of one genre can be very different from each other. A corpus of 44 typical examples of the genre, “Brief Tourist Information,” was created. A computerized concordancing program was used to analyze the three moves, “Location,” “Facilities/ Activities,” and “Description” in terms of discourse functions, length, reader address, modality, idioms, lexical phrases, and common lexical items. A comparison of the structures and lexical items of the three moves showed clearly that while they shared a few functions, for the most part they differed substantially. The results suggest that language educators should consider 1) basing instructional materials on corpora of texts in use, 2) teaching the move structure of genres and the concomitant move registers rather than the general register of the genre as a whole, 3) integrating the teaching of reading and writing, and 4) adopting a “purpose approach” to the teaching of writing.
Exploring Visual Response to Literature
Authors: Whitin Phyllis E.
Published: March 2024

This study describes a group of seventh graders’ experiences in learning to make and share meaning about literature through the creation of visual representations.

Over the course of a school year these students used sign systems from art, mathematics, and language to express their knowledge individually and collectively. The focus of the study was to investigate the evolution of sketching in two classes and to explore how these tools helped students enrich their understanding of literature and of literacy itself. The data were analyzed by both the teacher-researchearn d the students. The study supports teachingp ractices that provide opportunities for students of all ages to make and share meaning through multiple sign systems.

Apple Leaf Disease Prediction Using Deep Learning Models
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Rathinam Technical Campus, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India., S Poorna Prakash , M Shanthini , J Amrish Manickraj , A Hariharan , S Naresh , A Suresh kumar
Published: March 2024

In India, nearly two lakh people rely on apple production for a living, with apples accounting for approximately 16% of GDP in their respective states. Although apple production is second only to that of other fruits in terms of volume, it generates more revenue. In addition, India ranks fifth in total apple production worldwide. As a result, the apple is a fruit that has a significant impact on our economic situation. Apple productivity is primarily influenced by leaf diseases such as scab, cedar rust, black rot, and others. To prevent apple leaf diseases from spreading throughout the tree, it is critical to detect them in their early stages of infection. We proposed a convolutional neural network methodology to accurately and efficiently detect these leaf diseases. The image pre-processing and augmentation methods help us distinguish the region of interest from the background. We then trained and validated our dataset of apple leaf images by applying deep learning algorithms. The Dense Net algorithm, which has a 98.42% accuracy rate, is used to label the leaf diseases in our model.

The effects of speeds, digger lengths and spacing on the material efficiency of a ginger harvester: A response surface approach
Authors: Agu C.V. , Etoamaihe Ukachi , Babalola Oluwaseun
Published: March 2024

A developed ginger harvester was studied for its performance during operation using response surface methodology. Some of its parameters like speeds of operation, digger lengths and spacing, were varied to determine their effects on the Material Efficiency of the machine. Three levels of speeds (4,8,12km/hr), three levels of digger lengths (25,30,35cm) and three levels of digger spacing (4,6,8cm) were investigated as they affected the Material Efficiency of the machine. Results showed that the linear effects of speed, the quadratic effects of speed, the quadratic effects of digger lengths and the interactions of speeds and digger lengths were significant to the Material Efficiency of the ginger harvester at 5% probability (P≤ 0.05). These effects alone accounted for about 94.14% of the variations in the Material Efficiency of the machine. The response surface curve showed that the material efficiency increased with speed and digger spacing, but decreased with digger lengths. The highest overall Material Efficiency was obtained when the digger lengths were 25cm and the digger spacing was 8cm.
