description: Modern lexicography faces a variety of challenges that arise from the rapid evolution of language, the impact of digital technologies, and the need for inclusivity and bias reduction. As language continues to shift quickly, particularly with the influence of social media and globalization, lexicographers must stay responsive to the emergence of new terms and changing meanings while balancing the longevity of words. To get a complete findings  qualitative analysis, comparative analysis and case study methods have been used . This article explores the challenges in-depth, emphasizing the dynamic nature of lexicography in the digital age and the ongoing need for adaptability and inclusivity in documenting language.

title: FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATION OF NOVEL COPOLYMER;  ETHYLENE-CO-DIETHYL METHYLENE MALONATE COPOLYMERS
Creators: name: Foster, Sydney
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Ethylene copolymers are widely used as packaging materials, adhesives and specialty polymers for well-regarded cost savings, durability, chemical resistance, and hot melt character. This work examines the use of diester monomers known as malonates to determine the plausibility of utilizing an uncommon monomer class for producing novel ethylene copolymers. Ethylene is copolymerized with diethyl methylene malonate—a simple malonate representative of more complex and highly modified malonate monomers and macromers—to produce ethylene-co-diethyl methylene malonate in a range of molecular weights. Ethylene-co-diethyl methylene malonate is analyzed to determine physical properties such as glass transition temperature, chain length and monomer incorporation. Successful copolymerization occurred under a range of temperatures and pressures in tetrahydrofuran, diethyl carbonate, and dimethyl carbonate. The produced polymers were found to have a molecular weight of 15-46 kg/mol, a glass transition temperature of 7°C, a melting temperature of 108°C, and a cold crystallization temperature of 64°C. The high concentration of a radical source inhibitor in the diethyl methylene malonate monomer solution negatively impacted molecular weight and ethylene incorporation.
A Progressive Statistical Method for Preconditioning Matrix-Free Solution of High-Order Discretization of Linear Time-Dependent Problems

description: Preconditioning of a linear system obtained from spectral discretization of time-dependent PDEs often results in a full matrix which is expensive to compute and store specially when the problem size increases. A matrix-free implementation is usually applied to resolve this issue. In this framework, preconditioning is typically challenging since the entries of the matrix are not explicitly available. In this short note, we propose a statistical approach to gradually create a preconditioner matrix by collecting the information obtained from matrix-vector product in the Arnoldi loop of an unpreconditioned Krylov subspace algorithm. The gathered information are then correlated using a multiple regressors estimate where the error is assumed to be normally distributed. This procedure yields a banded diagonal matrix which is then used as a preconditioner in the next iterative solve. This is repeated between iterative solves until a good preconditioner is constructed on fly. This statistically iterative procedure is progressive since the fidelity of the preconditioning matrix improves by adding more data obtained from matrix-vector product during the entire solution procedure. The proposed algorithm is validated for a sample implementation.

description: There was a 92% increase in the number of Arabic as Foreign Language (AFL) programs in the US between 1998 and 2002 (Wells, 2004), and in the past 10 years this trend has continued. However, this surge has not yet been met by an equally rapid activity in the field of Teaching Arabic as Foreign Language (TAFL). One particularly under-researched area is classroom-based language assessment, especially in light of the diglossic nature of Arabic. The present discussion aims to problematize the issue of classroom-based assessment in an AFL context. One major issue confronting theorists as well as practitioners is finding a clear definition of Arabic language ability in light of diglossia. A second issue has to do with training teachers to use assessment to promote learning rather than only measure students’ achievement.

description: WHEN we see the current scenario of technology in the world, only one thing tick in our mind that is “Today is for technocrats”. Although the quality of engineering is up to the mark, the outcome is not as per the expectations. The outcome means the quality in fresh B. Tech students. The report from ‘UNESCO’, says that only twenty percent of fresh technical graduates are capable to grab the job. These are those students who are both technically and practically strong but what about eighty percent of graduates. As per the ‘Ministry of Corporate Affairs’, many of the companies are unable to fill the required vacancies due to a lack of technical craftiness in fresh engineers. Here I want to put my suggestion for technical universities as a responsible citizen of India. If we see the B. Tech program syllabus may be of any branch, there are various uncertainties. Courses are planned by universities from A to Z as per the semester level. In the final semester, there are three or four subjects (out of real-time Industrial Scope). In reality, they are the advanced form of basic subjects that have already been studied in previous semesters. As per my opinion, Universities should invite the companies (respective departments) to ask their requirement as per their area that they need from a fresh engineer. Companies should tell the subjects and training modules that are given by them to a fresh engineer to universities for all final year students like for electrical branch in the final semester, some subject may be from technologies that required in cement plant, power plant, automobiles sector, etc., with hands-on practice. Advantage:  All students would be able to understand the future technologies on which they have to work in companies. After it would be easy for companies to recruit engineers as they would meet their requirements. The quality of technical education will be an increase because from now student knows about the core work, he knows about the technology on which he has to work. They will be able to open their own company. The nation will get technocrats. I think a day will be there when more than eighty percent of engineering graduates will meet the requirements of companies. So the only thing is, in the final semester industries-oriented subjects should be included. Thanks

description: Different from large-scale language tests aiming to measure general proficiency and often administered in specific highly-controlled test settings, classroom-based language assessment is embedded in the teaching and learning cycle of a classroom and has multiple “identities” (Rea-Dickins, 2001, p. 451) due to its wide range of uses or purposes. Classroom-based language assessment is an integral part of language instruction where the teachers, as “agents” (Rea-Dickins, 2004), are the ones responsible for facilitating student learning and obtaining information about their progress and achievement, hence, also earning the name teacher assessment. From planning what to assess and how, through implementing assessment procedures and monitoring students’ performances to recording students’ attainment and progress, the teacher is constantly making decisions on how to keep track of students’ progress and attainment (Rea-Dickins, 2001). Either accomplished through a formal assessment procedure or through informal daily monitoring and observation, the teacher’s knowledge of the students guides him/her to make subsequent pedagogical decisions and push learning further.

description: The formation of hypercompact (HC) HII regions is an important stage in massive star formation. Spectral line and continuum observations can explore its dynamic conditions. We present high angular resolution observations carried out with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and the Very Large Array (VLA) toward the HC HII region G35.58-0.03. With the 1.3 mm SMA and 1.3 cm VLA, we detected a total of about 25 transitions of 8 different species and their isotopologues (CO, CH$_3$CN, SO$_2$, CH$_3$CCH, OCS, CS, H, and NH$_{3}$). G35.58-0.03 consists of an HC HII core with electron temperature $T_e^*\geqq5500$ K, emission measure EM $\approx 1.9\times10^{9}$ pc cm$^{-6}$, local volume electron density $n_e=3.3\times10^{5}$ cm$^{-3}$, and a same width of radio recombination line FWHM $\approx$ 43.2 km s$^{-1}$ for both H30$α$ and H38$β$ at its intrinsic core size $\sim$3714 AU. The H30$α$ line shows evidence of an ionized outflow driving a molecular outflow. Based on the derived Lyman continuum flux, there should be an early-type star equivalent to O6.5 located inside the HII region. From the continuum spectral energy distribution from 3.6 cm, 2.0 cm, 1.3 cm, 1.3 mm and 0.85 mm to 0.45 mm, we distinguished the free-free emission (25% $\sim$ 55%) from the warm dust component (75% $\sim$ 45%) at 1.3 mm. The molecular envelope shows evidence of infall and outflow with an infall rate 0.05 M$_{ \odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ and a mass loss rate $5.2\times10^{-3}$ ${\rm M_{ \odot} yr^{-1}}$. The derived momentum ($\sim0.05$ M$_{\odot}$ km s$^{-1}$) is consistent between the infalling and outflowing gas per year. It is suggested that the infall is predominant and the envelope mass of dense core is increasing rapidly, but the accretion in the inner part might already be halted.

description: Among all known young nearby neutron stars, we search for the neutron star that was born in the same supernova event that formed the Antlia supernova remnant (SNR). We also look for a runaway star that could have been the former companion to the neutron star (if it exists) and then got ejected due to the same supernova. We find the pulsar PSR J0630-2834 to be the best candidate for a common origin with the Antlia SNR. In that scenario the SNR is ~1.2 Myr old and is presently located at a distance of ~138 pc. We consider the runaway star HIP 47155 a former companion candidate to PSR J0630-2834. The encounter time and place is consistent with both stars being ejected from the Antlia SNR. We measured the radial velocity of HIP 47155 as 32.42 +/- 0.70km/s.

description: Objectives: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be a consequence of acute medical events and has been associated with non-adherence to medications. We tested whether increased concerns about medications could explain the association between PTSD and non-adherence to medication in stroke survivors. Design: We surveyed 535 participants aged 40 years or older who had at least one stroke or transient ischaemic attack in the previous 5 years. Methods: We assessed PTSD using the PTSD checklist-specific for stroke, medication adherence with the Morisky Medication Adherence Questionnaire, and beliefs about medications with the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire. We used logistic regression to test whether concerns about medications mediated the association between stroke-induced PTSD and non-adherence to medication. Covariates for adjusted analyses included age, sex, race, comorbid medical conditions, stroke-related disability, years since last stroke/TIA, and depression. Results: Symptoms of PTSD were correlated with greater concerns about medications (r = 0.45; p < .001), and both were associated with medication non-adherence. Adjustment for concerns about medications attenuated the relationship between PTSD and non-adherence to medication, from an odds ratio [OR] of 1.04 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01–1.06; OR, 1.63 per 1 SD) to an OR of 1.02 (95% CI, 1.00–1.05; OR, 1.32 per 1 SD), and increased concerns about medications remained associated with increased odds of non-adherence to medication (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.10–1.25; OR, 1.72 per 1 SD) in this fully adjusted model. A bootstrap mediation test suggested that the indirect effect was statistically significant and explained 38% of the association of PTSD to medication non-adherence, and the direct effect of PTSD symptoms on medication non-adherence was no longer significant. Conclusion: Increased concerns about medications explain a significant proportion of the association between PTSD symptoms and non-adherence to medication in stroke survivors.

description: Formative assessment (FA) and learning-oriented assessment (LOA) focus on the learning process. These ongoing assessments for learning can be an integral part of instruction and may add a new dimension to the learning mandate inherent in the classroom. Assessment for learning is founded on the notion that learners can raise their consciousness of their learning aims through the process of assessment and work towards improvement (Luoma & Tarnanen, 2003). That is, FA or LOA enables the students to gather “positive evidence” about what they know, and “negative evidence” about what is still not being incorporated into their interlanguage correctly (Purpura, 2004). Such assessment practices not only provide students with critical information about what they know but also enable teachers to assess their students‟ ongoing progress at various stages of the learning process. Leung (2004) defines classroom-based FA as “the noticing and gathering of information about student language use in ordinary (noncontrived) classroom activities, and the use of that information to make decisions about teaching (to promote learning) without necessarily quantifying it or using it for reporting purposes” (p. 20). Indeed, FA or LOA serves both the teacher in terms of planning future curricula as well as the students in giving them feedback so that they become aware of their strengths, weaknesses, and what needs to be implemented to make improvement. This discussion will focus on the important role of feedback in FA or LOA.

description: Over the past decade, there has been a call for an interface between assessment practices and second language (L2) learning, and this call has come from both testing specialists (e.g., Purpura, 2011) and second language acquisition researchers (e.g., Norris & Ortega, 2003). One area where a crossing point seems to have occurred is in classroom-based language assessment and, in specific, formative assessment. Rea-Dickins (2008) writes that a greater alignment of research in the areas of formative assessment and second language acquisition may give theorists, researchers, and practitioners a clearer understanding of language development in the classroom. Phrases such as learning-oriented language assessment (Purpura, 2004), assessment for learning (Black et al., 2003), and assessment as learning (Rea-Dickins, 2008) have been coined to emphasize the formative purposes, and highlight the learning aspect, of these classroom-based assessment practices.
title: Liposomal Nanoparticles Target TLR7/8-SHP2 to Repolarize Macrophages to Aid in Cancer Immunotherapy
Creators: name: Malik, Vaishali
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Abstract 
Macrophages found in the tumor microenvironment play a crucial role in initiating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that negatively impacts immunotherapy efficacy and aids tumor progression and metastasis. Constituting the most abundant immune cell in tumor microenvironment (TME), tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) have emerged as an attractive approach for anti-cancer therapy. However, two major challenges need to be overcome for successfully utilizing macrophages for immunotherapy. First, tumors repolarize the TAMs predominantly to M2 tumor-aiding phenotype by secreting various immunosuppressive cytokines. Second, cancer cells overexpress a membrane protein CD47 that interacts with signal-regulating protein alpha (SIRPalpha) expressed on macrophages. This crosstalk provides a downregulatory signal in the form of activation of SHP1/2 that inhibits cancer cell phagocytosis, and CD47, therefore, functions as a “don’t-eat-me” signal.
We rationalized that these challenges can be overcome by engineering a nanoparticle system that can deliver a rationale combination of immunomodulatory agents to the TAMs that can both repolarize the M2 macrophages to M1 phenotype efficiently and concurrently block CD47-SIRPalpha interactions by inhibiting SHP2 signaling. Herein, we designed a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system loaded with amphiphilic R848-cholesterol in its hydrophobic lipid bilayer, while SHP099 gets encapsulated in the hydrophilic core. Our previous studies have shown that the conjugation of cholesterol to the inhibitor stabilizes the lipid bilayer at a high inhibitor concentration. The LNPs showed high optimal drug loading, size, and stability. In vitro studies showed that the M2 macrophages treated with the LNPs system repolarized to M1 phenotype and expressed co-stimulatory molecules while having enhanced phagocytic potential. In vivo efficacy studies in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice showed that LNPs exhibit superior anti-tumor efficacy compared to other treatments. We evaluated the effect of MARCO-targeted LPNs by the conjugating anti-MARCO antibody on the LPN surface. However, no comparable difference in treatment efficacy was observed between the targeted MARCO-LNPs and the non-targeted LNPs. These results demonstrate that the MARCO targeting system designed in this study is largely ineffective in the targeted delivery of its drug cargo specifically to TAMs. Thus, the lipid nanoparticle-mediated co-delivery of a rational combination of TLR7/8 agonist and SHP2 inhibitor in the TAMs increases M2 to M1 repolarization and phagocytosis potential of macrophages.

description: Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) was a famous Spanish painter who is credited with painting a work known as Saturn Devouring One of His Sons. This work was one of over ten others known as the ‘Black Paintings,’ which were painted on the walls of his Quinta home in Spain. The painting’s contents have been widely accepted as depicting a deity named Saturn, whose Greek equivalent is Cronus (Κρόνος). The concomitant mythological story is the Greek cosmogonic myth known as the Theogony, attributed to Hesiod (ca. 700 BCE). The title and attribution stated above were assigned posthumously, not by Goya himself. No other authorship sources seem to be available. Prior investigations have relied on psychological inferences about Goya. This approach did not seem warranted and was thus avoided. The present investigation adopted a mythological mode of analysis, wherein the contents of Hesiod’s Theogony in the original Greek and English translation were compared with the Saturn painting’s depiction. All three posited hypotheses were supported: (1) prior investigators seemed to rely on psychological analyses concerned with Goya’s mental state, despite a lack of objective evidence from the time period in question; (2) textual evidence from Hesiod’s Theogony did not provide support for Cronus being the figure depicted in the Saturn painting, and; (3) Grendel’s depiction in Beowulf did align with the Saturn painting’s contents, textually and graphically. Further probing was conducted with regard to whether Goya could have profited from the materials and concepts found in the manuscript during his lifetime. The Beowulf manuscript was available to an artist between 1820-1823 and the plot of Beowulf was written about in European publications. Finally, the Beowulf manuscript’s contents included the Biblical story of Judith and Beowulf in the same spine, which corresponds to the adjacent location of the Judith and Saturn paintings in Goya’s Quinta home. Implications and limitations are discussed.

description: Objectives. We determined the association of psychiatric symptoms in the year after Hurricane Katrina with subsequent hospitalization and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Methods. A prospective cohort of ESRD patients (n = 391) treated at 9 hemodialysis centers in the New Orleans, Louisiana, area in the weeks before Hurricane Katrina were assessed for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression symptoms via telephone interview 9 to 15 months later. Two combined outcomes through August 2009 (maximum 3.5-year follow-up) were analyzed: (1) all-cause and (2) cardiovascular-related hospitalization and mortality. Results. Twenty-four percent of participants screened positive for PTSD and 46% for depression; 158 participants died (79 cardiovascular deaths), and 280 participants were hospitalized (167 for cardiovascular-related causes). Positive depression screening was associated with 33% higher risk of all-cause (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.06, 1.66) and cardiovascular-related hospitalization and mortality (HR = 1.33; 95% CI = 1.01, 1.76). PTSD was not significantly associated with either outcome. Conclusions. Depression in the year after Hurricane Katrina was associated with increased risk of hospitalization and mortality in ESRD patients, underscoring the long-term consequences of natural disasters for vulnerable populations.

description: Talmy‘s (1985) crosslinguistic typology of lexicalization patterns of motion events have been extensively used in second language acquisition (SLA) research as a means to examine how second language (L2) learners map form, meaning, and function. These studies have yielded some conflicting results regarding the learnability of L2 lexicalization patterns — arguably the oversimplification over and the overreliance on the dichotomous typological categorization of such patterns. The present corpus study seeks to illustrate how Japanese, which is classified as a V-language, may express motion events differently from what the typology typically suggests. The results showed that (1) Japanese elaborates on the Manner of motion via nouns, adjectives and adverbs, and that (2) Japanese verbs conflate Manner and Motion via Chinese loanwords and compound verbs. In order to shed light on what is learnable and why certain lexicalization patterns are (un)learnable for specific population groups in adult L2 acquisition, it is argued that, a deeper understanding of the nature of L2 input and learners‘ native languages (NL), especially in terms of input frequency, the complexity of form-meaning relationships, and the ease of processing of lexicalization patterns, would be indispensable.

description: Let $Ω$ be a tiling space and let $G$ be the maximal group of rotations which fixes $Ω$. Then the cohomology of $Ω$ and $Ω/G$ are both invariants which give useful geometric information about the tilings in $Ω$. The noncommutative analog of the cohomology of $Ω$ is the K-theory of a C*-algebra associated to $Ω$, and for translationally finite tilings of dimension 2 or less the K-theory is isomorphic to the direct sum of cohomology groups. In this paper we give a prescription for calculating the noncommutative analog of the cohomology of $Ω/G$, that is, the K-theory of the crossed product of the tiling C*-algebra by $G$. We also provide a table with some calculated K-groups for many common examples, including the Penrose and pinwheel tilings.

description: By first principles calculations, we demonstrate that when decorated with photochromic molecules, it is possible to use light to reversibly control the magnetic properties of a nanoscale magnetic system. The combination of a graphene-based magnetic system and a photochromic azobenzene molecule is chosen as a model system. The {\it trans} and {\it cis} isomers of the azobenzene molecule that can be converted between each other by means of photoexcitations are found to have drastically different effects on the magnetic properties of the system. The results may pave the way for the future design of light controllable molecular-scale spintronic devices.

description: Central to any task-based syllabus is the notion of complexity. Proponents of task-based language teaching (TBLT) have argued that tasks be sequenced according to their inherent cognitive complexity, partially because learner performance changes according to the complexity of the task. This exploratory study examines the effect of task complexity on the linguistic complexity of task performance. The participants in the study were a group of ten advanced- level second language (L2) English speakers, and two groups of native speakers of English. Task complexity was operationalized by manipulating two independent variables – reasoning demand and contextual support – in a series of picture narration tasks. The study thus had a 2 x 2 factorial design, with participants completing the tasks under four different sets of conditions. Each set provided the participants with different reasoning demands and/or contextual support. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to analyze the initial data. Following these analyses, separate ANOVAs were calculated to distinguish between the types of reasoning that may have contributed to differences in task performance. It was found that contextual support had little influence on the complexity of task performance, but that reasoning demands, specifically causal and spatial reasoning, may have contributed to differences in the linguistic complexity of participants‟ task performance.

description: In reaction to what they considered the prevailing bias of second language acquisition (SLA) research towards cognitive-oriented theories, Firth and Wagner (1997) called for a greater recognition of the social context and interactive nature of language use. Without negating the importance of cognitive dimensions of learning, the authors noted that “language is acquired and learned through social interaction … and should be studied in interactive encounters” (Firth & Wagner, 1997, p. 287). The article set off a firestorm of controversy. Some critics argued that language acquisition is “fundamentally a psycholinguistic process” (Gass & Selinker, 2001, p. 239), and that language acquisition and language use are two entirely separate entities (Gass, 1998). Firth and Wagner acknowledged this criticism, but still maintained that language acquisition “is built on language use” (Firth & Wagner, 2007, p. 806) and that it is a process that takes place “in the micromoments of social interaction” (Firth & Wagner, 2007, p. 807). This perspective was echoed by Wenger (1998), who stated that “learners are social beings … this fact is a central aspect of learning” (Wenger, 1998, p. 4). For Wenger, learning is a fundamentally social activity that occurs in communities of practice, where learners form identities as they negotiate meaning through interactive practice with others.
Quantum gravity effects in Myers-Perry space-times

description: We study quantum gravity effects for Myers-Perry black holes assuming that the leading contributions arise from the renormalization group evolution of Newton's coupling. Provided that gravity weakens following the asymptotic safety conjecture, we find that quantum effects lift a degeneracy of higher-dimensional black holes, and dominate over kinematical ones induced by rotation, particularly for small black hole mass, large angular momentum, and higher space-time dimensionality. Quantum-corrected space-times display inner and outer horizons, and show the existence of a black hole of smallest mass in any dimension. Ultra-spinning solutions no longer persist. Thermodynamic properties including temperature, specific heat, the Komar integrals, and aspects of black hole mechanics are studied as well. Observing a softening of the ring singularity, we also discuss the validity of classical energy conditions.

Dark Solitons with Majorana Fermions in Spin-Orbit-Coupled Fermi Gases

description: We show that a single dark soliton can exist in a spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gas with a high spin imbalance, where spin-orbit coupling favors uniform superfluids over non-uniform Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov states, leading to dark soliton excitations in highly imbalanced gases. Above a critical spin imbalance, two topological Majorana fermions (MFs) without interactions can coexist inside a dark soliton, paving a way for manipulating MFs through controlling solitons. At the topological transition point, the atom density contrast across the soliton suddenly vanishes, suggesting a signature for identifying topological solitons.

description: By solving two-component spinor equation for massless Dirac Fermions, we show that graphene under a periodic external magnetic field exhibits a unique energy spectrum: At low energies, Dirac Fermions are localized inside the magnetic region with discrete Landau energy levels, while at higher energies, Dirac Fermions are mainly found in non-magnetic regions with continuous energy bands originating from wavefunctions analogous to particle-in-box states of electrons. These findings offer a new methodology for the control and tuning of massless Dirac Fermions in graphene.

description: With this monograph, Diane Larsen-Freeman and Lynne Cameron unveil a complex systems approach to applied linguistics in the first book-length introduction to the topic. Stirrings of a shift in this direction have begun to appear in Larsen-Freeman’s publications this past decade (e.g., 1997, 2002). Expanding on those early papers, this work is intended “to open the conversation” (Larsen-Freeman & Cameron, 2008, p. 255) about complex systems among applied linguists; however, it is not intended to be the last word. As such, it is a rich introduction for teachers, researchers, and students who want to foreground a dynamic worldview in their theory and method for understanding complex systems. This book begins a new chapter in the intellectual history of applied linguistics by repositioning our understandings and making change central. At the very least, the development of a complex systems approach to applied linguistics at the hands of two well-respected applied linguists, each with distinguished publications records, is cause enough to engage with its ideas.
Micro Pixel Chamber with resistive electrodes for spark reduction

description: The Micro Pixel Chamber (mu-PIC) using resistive electrodes has been developed and tested. The surface cathodes are made from resistive material, by which the electrical field is reduced when large current is flowed. Two-dimensional readouts are achieved by anodes and pickup electrodes, on which signals are induced. High gas gain (> 60000) was measured using 55Fe (5.9 keV) source, and very intensive spark reduction was attained under fast neutron. The spark rate of resistive mu-PIC was only 10^-4 times less than that of conventional mu-PIC at the gain of 10^4. With these developments, a new MPGD with no floating structure is achieved, with enough properties of both high gain and good stability to detect MIP particles. In addition, mu-PIC can be operated with no HV applied on anodes by using resistive cathodes. Neither AC coupling capacitors nor HV pull up resisters are needed for any anode electrode. Signal readout is drastically simplified by that configuration.

description: Language Learner Strategies, an edited volume born from a series of meetings at the International Association of Applied Linguistics Congress in the early 2000s, provides a comprehensive overview into the past, present, and proposed future of the field of language learner strategies (LLS). Principally written for language or education researchers, this book is concerned with the strategies learners employ in the process of second language (L2) acquisition and performance in the second or foreign language classroom. The editors, Andrew D. Cohen and Ernesto Macaro, propose that the volume serve as a coherent auto-critique and theoretical synthesis of LLS research to date, with the goal of improving opportunities for all language learners through further research into LLS.
