The Effect of Listening Strategy Intervention on the Development of Young Learners’ L2 Listening Skills

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of strategy intervention on second language (L2) listening development has been explored in various contexts; however, research on both implicit and explicit listening strategy interventions for young learners remains limited.

Heterogeneity in Manufacturing Growth Risk

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We analyze differences in output growth risk with respect to financial conditions across U.S. manufacturing industries. Using a multilevel quantile regression approach, we find that industries exhibit heterogeneous increases of downside risk in times of tight financial conditions, while upside potential remains stable.

Quasi-Newton's method with correction

Novi Sad Journal of Mathematics - NSJOM, 1996
The problem of solving a system of nonlinear equations \(F(x) = 0\), where \(F:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n\) is a nonlinear mapping of a special form \(F(x) = Ax + G(x)\) with linear part \(A \in \mathbb{R}^{n,n}\) and nonlinear part \(G:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n\), is considered.

Power Unleashed: Theorizing a Weak Ecology of Checks and Balances and Its Consequences. A Case From the Global South

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article theorizes about weak checks and balances (C&B) and its plausible consequences. Drawing on empirical data from over 1100 municipal officials in Mexico, the study examines how executive dominance over three key institutions—the local council, internal comptroller offices, and human resources offices—facilitates consequences ...

Comparison of conjunctival pedicle flap to corneal fixation strength achieved by Tisseel® fibrin glue, ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, ReSure® hydrogel sealant, and conventional suturing with 8‐0 VICRYL® ophthalmic suture

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 253-263, March 2025.
Abstract Objective To determine and compare the fixation strength of conjunctival pedicle flaps to cornea achieved via conventional ophthalmic suture and three different adhesive compounds. Animals Studied Ex vivo porcine globes. Procedures Following a 6 mm wide 500‐micron‐restricted depth lamellar keratectomy, conjunctival pedicle flaps were secured ...

Isometric training at longer muscle–tendon complex lengths: A potential countermeasure to impaired neuro‐muscle–tendon function during space travel

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

When NCX switches sides: Experimental and computational insights into Ca2+ regulation in the heart

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Due to its presence inside the dyadic cleft, Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) builds a functional unit together with L‐type calcium channels and ryanodine receptors in the dyadic cleft. NCX acts bidirectionally (forward and reverse mode) dependent on extracellular calcium ([Ca2+]o) and sodium ([Na+]o) concentrations and the membrane ...

Panoramic voltage‐sensitive optical mapping of contracting hearts using cooperative multiview motion tracking with 12 cameras

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstact figure legend A panoramic 3D optical mapping system was developed, enabling imaging of action potential waves across the entire strongly deforming ventricular surface of beating isolated hearts. The system comprises 12 high‐speed cameras and a soccerball‐shaped imaging chamber with 48 light‐emitting diodes (LEDs).

Computing Bounds on the Eigenvalues of the Preconditioned X‐FFT System in 3D Linear Elastic Homogenization

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The previously introduced X‐FFT solver permits solving three‐dimensional linear elastic homogenization problems with high accuracy and efficiency. Due to the extended finite element discretization (X‐FEM), matrix‐inclusion problems may be approximated with the error convergence of interface‐conforming finite elements.
