Applied Sociolinguistics: The Case of Arabic as a Second Language [PDF]
, 1986 This paper has several themes. The first is that almost everything that sociolinguists can discover about the sociolinguistic patterning of Arabic will have some relevance for the teaching and learning of Arabic as a second language.

COMMENTARY: CAN FREE READING TAKE YOU ALL THE WAY? A RESPONSE TO COBB (2007) [PDF]
Language Learning and Technology, 2008 Cobb (2007) argues that free reading cannot provide L2 readers with sufficient opportunities for acquiring vocabulary in order to reach an adequate level of reading comprehension of English texts.

Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

Contradictions within an activity of second language reading literacy
South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2019 Background: In investigating the early reading literacy of a group of Setswana-speaking children who learnt to read in Afrikaans, cultural historical activity theory (CHAT) was chosen as a conceptual framework because of its proven utility value in ...

Cell surface CD11c as a neutrophil aging marker molecule
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Cell surface CD11chi neutrophils were more aged and had better phagocytic function than CD11c−/lo neutrophils. Transcriptomic analysis of CD11chi neutrophils and CD11c−/lo neutrophils in pediatric population showed that the most difference was seen in infants.

Second Language Reading Research and Instruction: Crossing the Boundaries
Studies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2010 Second language (L2) reading serves dual roles in L2 learning – both as a literacy skill for comprehension and as a source of L2 input (Eskey, 2005; Grabe, 1991).

BCG vaccination potentiates oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal myeloid‐derived suppressor cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.BCG vaccination enhances oxidative phosphorylation in neonatal MDSCs, impairing their immunosuppressive function. It upregulates electron transport chain genes and mitochondrial activity, increasing ATP and oxygen consumption. Pharmacological OXPHOS inhibition partially restores suppressive capacity, confirming causality.

COMMENTARY: RESPONSE TO MCQUILLAN AND KRASHEN (2008) [PDF]
Language Learning and Technology, 2008 I was glad to receive a response from Jeff McQuillan and Stephen Krashen to my piece "Computing the Demands of Vocabulary Acquisition from Reading" (Language Learning & Technology, October, 2007), because drafting a reply forces me to be even more clear ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...
