Spatial Distribution Laws and Geological Significances of Paleo-channels Under the Ocean of Southwestern Hainan Island

Haiyang Kaifa yu guanli, 2023
Paleo-channels are one of the geological hazards on the continental shelf. Analyzing the laws of spatial distribution and unearthing the hidden geological significances could provide basis for ocean engineering and disaster prevention and mitigation, and

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).

Late Quaternary fluvial terrace characteristics and ages of the Pamir‒Tian Shan convergence zone: indications of regional climate change and tectonic uplift

Frontiers in Earth Science
The Pamir‒Tian Shan collision zone, located at the northwestern edge of the Himalaya‒Qingzang orogenic belt, provides a natural laboratory for investigating the development of fluvial terraces controlled by regional climate change and tectonic uplift. In

Japanese Women's Attitudes Toward Learning Languages Other Than English in the Era of Global English

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study on female Japanese learners of the Korean language is situated in the centuries‐long anti‐Korean sentiments in Japan, the global popularity of the Korean Wave, particularly among women, and the essentialized image of socially marginalized young Japanese women who study English with romantic desires for Western men.

Measuring Interactional Competence in a Japanese University EFL Speaking Context

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability to interact is an integral aspect of speaking proficiency. Therefore, methods of assessing interaction need to be incorporated into second language (L2) speaking tests. The main purpose of this exploratory study is to attempt to quantify interactional competence (IC) in a Japanese university EFL (English as a foreign language ...
