Exploring the Potential of Conversational AI for Assessing Second Language Oral Proficiency

TESOL Quarterly, Volume 59, Issue S1, Page S220-S250, December 2025.
Abstract Interactional Competence (IC) is an important subcomponent of oral proficiency, but many computer‐mediated oral English assessments fall short in assessing this construct mainly due to technological limitations. Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDSs) have shown promise in assessing L2 oral communication, yet further investigation is needed on their ...

Controlling ultrafast currents by the non-linear photogalvanic effect

, 2015
We theoretically investigate the effect of broken inversion symmetry on the generation and control of ultrafast currents in a transparent dielectric (SiO2) by strong femto-second optical laser pulses. Ab-initio simulations based on time-dependent density

Human‐ versus artificial intelligence‐delivered roleplay tasks for assessing interactional competence: An applied conversation analytic study

TESOL Quarterly, Volume 59, Issue S1, Page S183-S219, December 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the nature of co‐construction in roleplays conducted with human versus AI interlocutors for assessing interactional competence (IC) in L2 English. Seventy‐five university students in Japan completed roleplay tasks with both human tutors and an AI agent.

Intersections between some families of (U,N)- and RU-implications [PDF]

, 2011
(U,N)-implications and RU-implications are the generalizations of (S,N)- and R-implications to the framework of uninorms, where the t-norms and t-conorms are replaced by appropriate uninorms. In this work, we present the intersections that exist between (

The renal baroreflex: A systematic review and meta‐analysis in healthy and hypertensive animals

Physiological Reports, Volume 13, Issue 17, September 2025.
Abstract The renal baroreflex describes the dose‐dependent relation between renal pressure and renin release. Former studies have approximated this relation through animal experiments, but the exact shape of the response curve and its alteration by hypertension remain unclear.

Prioritized Hamy mean operators based on Dombi t-norm and t-conorm for the complex interval-valued Atanassov-Intuitionistic fuzzy sets and their applications in strategic decision-making problems

AIMS Mathematics
The complex interval-valued Atanassov intuitionistic fuzzy set theory is an advanced modification of traditional fuzzy information that combines elements of both interval-valued fuzzy information and Atanassov intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, and incorporates complex numbers.

Advancing Sustainability Assessment of Renewable Energy: A Study on Indicator‐to‐Framework Methods and Associated Rule Mining

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 4393-4427, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Divergent sustainable development perspectives, mathematical model limitations, and varying scenarios contribute to uncertainty in assessing renewable energy sustainability. To tackle these challenges, this study conducts a comprehensive literature review, employs an analogy, and utilizes knowledge discovery techniques with an indicator‐to ...

The urban mine of the Netherlands: The material basis for a circular economy

Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 967-981, June 2025.
Abstract Resources are essential for humanity's well‐being and development. At the same time, resources lay at the heart of many environmental problems. A sustainable resource use facilitates development but reduces environmental problems. This apparent contradiction can be solved by moving toward a circular economy: keeping resources, once extracted ...
