Teacher Well‐Being Across Career Stages: An Ecological Study of Early‐ and Mid‐Career English Teachers in Japanese Secondary Schools

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Teacher well‐being has garnered increasing attention in language education, as it plays a vital role in shaping both their professional lives and student learning. Although its importance is recognised, further research is still needed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of language teachers' well‐being.

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 ...

Contention-Based Opportunistic Spectrum Access in One-Way Highway Vehicular Networks

IEEE Access, 2019
The spectrum sharing problem is considered under the scenario of a one-way highway vehicular network. We model the locations of the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) nodes, the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) nodes, and the road side units (RSUs) as 1D Poisson ...

Subvacuum effects of the quantum field on the dynamics of a test particle

, 2011
We study the effects of the electromagnetic subvacuum fluctuations on the dynamics of a nonrelativistic charged particle in a wavepacket. The influence from the quantum field is expected to give an additional effect to the velocity uncertainty of the ...

Changed Minds and L2 Motivation: Reflections of Japanese EFL Students Living, Laboring and Learning in Vietnam

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT English as a lingua franca (ELF) is increasingly used for communication in many EFL contexts, including Vietnam. Although Japan and Vietnam have a long history of economic cooperation, for practical reasons, English typically functions as the medium of communication between the two groups. This study examines Japanese expats who had studied or

Velocity correlations in granular materials

, 1998
A system of inelastic hard disks in a thin pipe capped by hot walls is studied with the aim of investigating velocity correlations between particles. Two effects lead to such correlations: inelastic collisions help to build localized correlations, while ...

Assessing D‐Squame as a Minimally Invasive Technique to Evaluate the Cutaneous Immune Response mRNA in a Dog Model of Canine Atopic Dermatitis

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a multifactorial, inherited skin disease, estimated to affect ≤ 15% of dogs. Studies of skin messenger mRNA in cAD currently use invasive methods, including blood sampling and biopsy collection, whilst advances in human atopic dermatitis study methodology have demonstrated reliable use of minimally ...

ABCA12 Frameshift Deletion in Domestic Cats With Ichthyosis Fetalis

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ichthyosis fetalis (IF), also known as harlequin ichthyosis, is a rare and often fatal autosomal recessive congenital skin disorder. It is characterized by thickened, hard skin plaques and deep skin fissures that limit mobility and cause malformations of the eyes, lips and ears.
