Test of a model for predicting second language lexical growth through reading

informal learning

Horst M.
GSID: HuQktRZMGfAJ
M Horst, P Meara - Canadian Modern Language Review, 1999 - utpjournals.press

This case study tests a mathematical model for its ability to predict second language vocabulary gains achieved through reading. To overcome the problem of small word gains …

The intersection of planning, urban agriculture, and food justice: A review of the literature

Cultural Transformation in the Geoscience Community AND Program Evaluation

Extensive variation, but not local adaptation in an Australian alpine daisy.

Ecology and evolution

Hirst MJ, Sexton JP, Hoffmann AA.
PMID: 27551396
Ecol Evol. 2016 Jul 10;6(15):5459-72. doi: 10.1002/ece3.2294. eCollection 2016 Aug.

Alpine plants often occupy diverse habitats within a similar elevation range, but most research on local adaptation in these plants has focused on elevation gradients. In testing for habitat-related local adaptation, local effects on seed quality and initial plant...

Critical care medicine education of surgeons: recommendations from the Surgical Section of the Society of Critical Care Medicine.

Critical care medicine

Ivy M, Angood P, Kirton O, Shapiro M, Tisherman S, Horst M.
PMID: 10752845

PERSPECTIVE: The role of surgeons in critical care medicine has a long and esteemed past. The presence of surgeons in intensive care units provides specific insights and perspectives to the care of surgical patients sometimes not fully appreciated by...

[Determination of Reliability of Psychometric Tests in Psychiatry Using Canonical Correlation].

Psychiatrische Praxis

Koch HJ, Gürtler K, Fischer-Barnicol D, Szecsey A, Ibach B.
PMID: 13130363
Psychiatr Prax. 2003 May;30:157-160. doi: 10.1055/s-2003-39772.

Test results (raw scores) are composed of an unknown true score and an error term. The error term can be estimated by means of test reliability which is defined by the ratio of true variance and obtained variance. Different...

One-dimensional conduction in charge-density-wave nanowires.

Physical review letters

Slot E, Holst MA, van der Zant HS, Zaitsev-Zotov SV.
PMID: 15525099
Phys Rev Lett. 2004 Oct 22;93(17):176602. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.93.176602. Epub 2004 Oct 20.

We report a systematic study of the transport properties of coupled one-dimensional metallic chains as a function of the number of parallel chains. When the number of parallel chains is less than 2000, the transport properties show power-law behavior...

Bioaccumulation and Metabolic Effects of the Endocrine Disruptor Methoprene in the Lobster, Homarus americanus.

Integrative and comparative biology

Walker AN, Bush P, Puritz J, Wilson T, Chang ES, Miller T, Holloway K, Horst MN.
PMID: 21676752
Integr Comp Biol. 2005 Jan;45(1):118-26. doi: 10.1093/icb/45.1.118.

Methoprene is a pesticide that acts as a juvenile hormone agonist. Although developed initially against insects, it has since been shown to have toxic effects on larval and adult crustaceans. Methoprene was one of several pesticides applied to the...

Risk Assessment Studies: Detailed Host Range Testing of Wild-Type Cabbage Moth, Mamestra brassicae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus.

Applied and environmental microbiology

Doyle CJ, Hirst ML, Cory JS, Entwistle PF.
PMID: 16348279
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1990 Sep;56(9):2704-10. doi: 10.1128/aem.56.9.2704-2710.1990.

The host range of a multiply enveloped nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) (Baculoviridae) isolated from the cabbage moth, Mamestra brassicae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), was determined by challenging a wide range of insect species with high (10 polyhedral inclusion bodies) and low...
