Comparing L1 With L2 Acquisition: How Learning Factors and Stages Reveal Differences and Similarities Between the Two Processes

open access: yesEnletawa Journal, 2013
This article reviews some of the literature and research studies which explore first and second language acquisition in order to make a parallel between these two processes.

More is more in language learning:reconsidering the less-is-more hypothesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Less-is-More hypothesis was proposed to explain age-of-acquisition effects in first language (L1) acquisition and second language (L2) attainment. We scrutinize different renditions of the hypothesis by examining how learning outcomes are affected by

Tumor‐stromal crosstalk and macrophage enrichment are associated with chemotherapy response in bladder cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chemoresistance in bladder cancer: Macrophage recruitment associated with CXCL1, CXCL5 and CXCL8 expression is characteristic of Gemcitabine/Cisplatin (Gem/Cis) Non‐Responder tumors (right side) while Responder tumors did not show substantial tumor‐stromal crosstalk (left side). All biological icons are attributed to Bioicons: carcinoma, cancerous‐cell‐

Investigation of Oxygen‐Free Wetting Behavior of Aluminum on Copper via Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Experiments

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The wettability of aluminum droplets (Al) on different copper substrates (Cu), where liquid Al spreads on solid Cu surfaces to form a liquid–solid interface, is studied numerically and experimentally. The experimental and numerical results show good agreement in the fast‐spreading regime.

The acquisition of dative alternation constraints by Persian speakers of English [PDF]

open access: yesTeaching English Language, 2010
A yet unresolved debate among language acquisition researchers is the functioning of innate language principles in SLA. UG-compatible analyses of interlanguage representations are not sufficient for this purpose.

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...

Some Aspects of L2 Acquisition of German in Switzerland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Research has identified various factors that seem to support L2 acquisition in adults (e.g. duration of stay in an L2 country, amount and quality of input) and it is well known that adult learners can achieve very high competence in their L2s.

Color Routing and Beam Steering of Single‐Molecule Emission with a Spherical Silicon Nanoantenna

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We experimentally demonstrate broadband directional emission from single molecules using a single spherical silicon nanoparticle assembled via DNA origami. By varying nanoparticle (NP) size and emitter position, we achieve unidirectional emission, beam steering, and color routing at the nanoscale, revealing modal interference as the underlying ...

Distributional effects and individual differences in L2 morphology learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Second language (L2) learning outcomes may depend on the structure of the input and learners’ cognitive abilities. This study tested whether less predictable input might facilitate learning and generalization of L2 morphology while evaluating ...
