A Survey on Postsecondary Korean Language Programs in the United States [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages, 2017
Students of the less commonly taught languages (LCTLs) retain higher motivation in learning (Bao & Lee, 2012; Brown, 2009; Liu & Shibata, 2008; Murphy, Back, & Garrett-Rucks, 2009; Nunn, 2013), but it is uncertain to what extent the LCTL programs are ...

The ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy as guardians of the cellular proteome

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This Perspective covers the three principles governing the crosstalk between the ubiquitin‐proteasome system and autophagy in cellular proteostasis: (1) a shared ubiquitin code routing substrates via shuttle factors or autophagy receptors; (2) spatial compartmentalization into phase‐separated degradation hubs and organelle‐specific modules (exemplified

Does Second Language Instruction Make a Difference? A Review of Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Does second language instruction promote second language acquisition? Some studies conclude that instruction does not help (or even that it is counter-productive); others find it beneficial. The picture becomes clearer if two distinctions are made. First,

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Effects of Task Complexity on Second-Language Production [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In task-based syllabus design, task sequencing in terms of task complexity, defined by the cognitive demands imposed by the task structure itself, has been a valid candidate for an objective and prospective approach to task-based syllabus design.

The construction of authorial voice in thesis writing: a multidimensional comparative perspective

open access: yesHumanities & Social Sciences Communications
Constructing appropriate authorial voices through in-text citations is the basis for quality academic writing. Writers are required to distinguish a variety of other voices presented in academic writing, including their own, and to maintain effective ...

Pre‐analytical optimization of cell‐free DNA and extracellular vesicle‐derived DNA for mutation detection in liquid biopsies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

Using Questionnaires to Assess Motivation in Second Language Classrooms [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Questionnaires for measuring motivation and attitudes in second language (SL) learning can be adapted from existing instruments or they can be constructed for use in other contexts.

Collaborative Writing in L2 Classrooms

open access: yesWorking Papers in Applied Linguistics and TESOL, 2015
With the appearance and improvement of Web 2.0 technology and other digital tools such as Google Docs and wikis, teachers and researchers are increasingly able to implement collaborative activities in face-to-face and online language courses.

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated
