A Novel Approach to Teach Grammar in Chilean State Schools: From a Traditional to a Communicative Approach
Abstract Grammar instruction has been regarded as a pivotal, yet controversial topic when it comes to foreign language teaching and learning.Views on this grammar debate have undergone considerable changes throughout the years, which have shifted from conventional methods, based on pure formulation of grammar structures, towards a more communicativ
An acoustic source model for asymmetric intraglottal flow with application to reduced-order models of the vocal folds.
The complex three-way interaction between airflow, tissue, and sound, for asymmetric vocal fold vibration, is not well understood.Current modeling efforts are not able to explain clinical observations where drastic differences in sound production are often observed, with no noticeable differences in the vocal fold kinematics.To advance this underst
Bioinspired self-flowing wood chemical treatment
Abstract Wood has complex composition and structure, which make it difficult to achieve consistent and controllable treatment.A self-flowing process presented for the Lids chemical treatment of wood is inspired by liquid transportation in trees during photosynthesis and tree growth, whereby liquid in the soil is brought through the natural vessels
