Bombyx mori cocoon has a multi-layer structure that provides optimal protection for silkworm pupa. Research on the mechanical properties of revealed structure-property relationships cocoon. Here, we investigated protein components B. in terms its structure. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry identified 286 proteins from multiple layers. In addition to fibroins and sericins, abundant protease inhibitors, seroins unknown function. By comparing abundance across layers, found...

Previous research has extensively discussed the grammaticalisation of Chinese analytic causative markers, yet no study empirically examined contextual features that constrain their choice over different historical periods. In light this gap in research, uses three exploratory quantitative methods, namely Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Multi-dimensional Scaling and Multiple Correspondence to analyse 10,817 observations constructions with shi ([Formula: see text]), ling jiao1 text]) jiao2 as...

This study investigated English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) learners' strategic competence in the computer-assisted integrated speaking tests (CAIST) through development and validation of Strategic Competence Inventory for Computer-assisted Speaking Assessment (SCICASA). Based on our review literature CAIST, competence, available instruments measuring construct, we defined EFL CAIST as use four metacognitive strategies: Planning, problem-solving, monitoring, evaluating, with each them...

Innovation by knowledge workers is the foundation of sustainable development within an organization. Chinese policy makers use various innovation incentive policies to improve performance at state-owned enterprises, which in line with China’s goal becoming “innovative country”. This study compares impacts issued central government, local governments, and enterprise level (vertical dimension) examines effectiveness varying content (horizontal dimension). The mechanism supply influences...

Despite the salience of monitoring in self-regulated learning (SRL) and foreign and/or second language (L2) speech production non-testing conditions, little is known about metacognitive construct testing contexts its effects on learner performance. Given reciprocal between L2 learning, a research effort working speaking tests, particular computer-delivered integrated format that has been advocated as an internal part classroom instruction represents future direction testing, warranted. This...

Abstract Understanding the intricate relationships among strategic competence, tasks and performance is an issue of perennial interest in assessment foreign/second languages especially integrated speaking assessment, a field that under-researched. Against this background, we investigated such complex context English as foreign language (EFL) learners, hoping to provide additional empirical evidence address problem. In investigation, competence was defined metacognitive strategy use measured...

The concept of gamification is attracting significant attention and implementation in several industries. However, its use higher education still early phases. game design aspects non-game situations, sometimes called gamification, has emerged as a prominent trend boosting learning experiences. This systematic mapping study investigates the utilisation

Over the past decades, subjects concerned with Chinese character “zhi之”, i.e. grammatical structure, in ancient language, have been widely explored. This paper conducts a research from new dimension: Cardiff Grammar, an integral part of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) which is famous for its “problem-oriented theory”. In order to shed light on semantics and syntactic functions “zhi之” nominal group, this study examines five distinctive groups involving elaborate tree diagrams are...
