Using Virtual Exchange for Teaching BELF Pragmatics: Developing an Online Negotiation Activity

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Teaching Business English (BE) is experiencing a paradigm shift to reflect the communicative needs of the global workplace. With the majority of interactions in English now taking place among multilingual speakers, there are increasing calls to integrate perspectives of English as a business lingua franca (BELF) into English language and ...

The contributions of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and archaea to nitrification-dependent N2O emission in alkaline and neutral purple soils

Scientific Reports, 2022
Nitrification is believed to be one of the primary processes of N2O emission in the agroecological system, which is controlled by soil microbes and mainly regulated by soil pH, oxygen content and NH4 + availability.

The AOB subdivisions in rats respond differently to social stimulation

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012
AbstractThe animal's ability to recognise and differentiate between familiar and unfamiliar conspecifics, plays a crucial role in their social behaviour. To study the neural mechanisms underlying individual recognition, the expression patterns of the Immediate Early Genes c-Fos, Egr.1, and Arc were investigated immunocytochemically in the brains of ...

Connections between the basic local independence model and true and error models in the study of preference

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Two classes of probabilistic models are compared: the true and error (TE) type models and models in the family of the basic local independence model (BLIM). The former finds applications in the study of human preference, whereas the latter has been developed within the theory of knowledge structures with the aim of producing knowledge ...

Ammonia transformation by potential consortium in the aquatic system

Scientific Reports
In the present research, the removal of high concentration of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate was determined by using the efficient ammonia-oxidizing bacterial isolates (AOB AMS 1, AOB AMS 2, AOB AMS 5 and AOB AMSS 1) along with the consortium of all four ...

Change of the upper airway after mandibular setback surgery in patients with mandibular prognathism and anterior open bite

Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2019
Purpose It has been reported before that the amount of pharyngeal airway space (PAS) significantly decreases following mandibular setback (MS) surgery in patients with mandibular prognathism (MP).

Brain Cortex Activity in Children With Anterior Open Bite: A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
Anterior open bite (AOB) is related to functional alterations of the stomatognathic system. There are no studies concerning brain activation of the cortex comparing children with and without AOB during rest and activities such as deglutition and ...

The histone deacetylase inhibitor, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, restores blood–brain barrier integrity in a human stem cell‐based model of ischaemic stroke

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Ischaemic stroke is characterised by acute cerebrovascular occlusion and blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown. Our results indicated that the histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) ameliorated the loss of BBB integrity, changed the morphology of brain endothelial cells, increased the level of basement membrane and ...

Innovative Field Applications of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Medicinal Plant Products for Disease Control in Aquaculture

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.

Human settlement as driver of bacterial, but not of archaeal, ammonia oxidizers abundance and community structure in tropical stream sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) are a diverse and functionally important group in the nitrogen cycle. Nevertheless, AOA and AOB communities driving this process remain uncharacterized in tropical freshwater sediment.
