The Hare and the Tortoise in Ecological L2 Learning: Distributed Practice Effects in Vocabulary and Grammar

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on the distributed practice effect, that is the impact of different intervals between learning sessions, has investigated both intentional and incidental learning of second language vocabulary and grammar targets. This research is complex and has produced conflicting findings: whereas robust effects have been shown for intentional ...

Approaches to Superefficient Yeast Transformations: DNA Phase Separation, Cell Growth State and Systematic Experimental Design

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeast transformations are mechanistically poorly understood and could be made orders of magnitude more efficient by three approaches. (1) Investigate mechanisms of DNA uptake including DNA phase separation. (2) Account for growth state. (3) Use systematic statistical design of experiments to test combinations of factors that enhance transformation ...

Wage growth of less educated workers: the importance of social skills

Fiscal Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract We use matched employee–employer data from the UK to investigate the importance of social skills – in particular, teamwork and communication with co‐workers – as a driver of wage growth for workers with lower formal education. We find that in social skill tasks, a significant fraction of less educated workers enjoy wage progression with tenure,

A CCNA1 Missense Variant Associated With Chromatid Non‐Disjunction in Abnormal‐Headed Sperm and Male Infertility

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Macrozoospermia is a rare form of teratozoospermia characterized by tetraploids, large‐headed spermatozoa with multiple flagella, usually caused by bi‐allelic AURKC mutations. The etiology of atypical phenotypes with a lower proportion of large headed spermatozoa and single flagella however often remains unresolved.

Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

Honouring Hardship and Fun: Reflecting on Homeless Children's Experiences in Shelter

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In our research with children living in a homeless shelter with their families in Southern Ontario, Canada, we navigated discrepancies between the challenges and hardships in our participants' lives and the fun, positive nature of many of our day‐to‐day interactions with them.

DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF PLASMODIAL MYXOMYCETES (SLIME MOLDS) FROM LA MESA ECOPARK, QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES

Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2010
Myxomycetes are ubiquitous in terrestrial forest ecosystems. Thus, this research study looks at the taxonomic diversity and distribution of plasmodial myxomycetes in La Mesa Ecopark in Quezon City, Philippines. A total of 240 moist chambers were prepared

Death, Killing, and the Enemy: Jewish and Arab Children's Perspectives During the War and Their Evacuation From Home

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how 57 Jewish and Arab children (aged 4–8), displaced from their homes during the 2023–2024 Israel–Hezbollah war, interpret war and articulate moral reasoning. Using a qualitative design and reflexive thematic analysis, the study draws on children's accounts generated through card‐based interviews addressing war ...

Checklist of Myxomycetes (Amoebozoa) of the Polish Tatra Mts

Acta Mycologica
The Tatra Mts are the highest mountain range in the Carpathians and are an important biodiversity region for many organisms. Plants, animals, and fungi are better studied in this region, while myxomycetes still remain understudied.
