Contextual Inferencing Strategies and Changes in Reading Attitudes: the Case of Iranian EFL Undergraduates by Танназ Садегжи, Амін Марцбан

“…The comparison of pre- and post-questionnaires showed that contextual inferencing strategies had a positive effect on learners’ attitudes towards reading, and there was a negative relationship between unknown vocabulary encounters and learners’ attitudes towards reading English texts. Finally, the analysis of the interview confirmed the effectiveness of strategy training in reading attitudes and showed some other factors which were enhanced by using contextual inferencing strategies. …”

Protein secondary structure determined from independent and integrated infra-red absorbance and circular dichroism data using the algorithm SELCON by Søren Vrønning Hoffmann, Nykola C. Jones, Alison Rodger

“…Protein circular dichroism (CD) and infrared absorbance (IR) spectra are widely used to estimate the secondary structure content of proteins in solution. A range of algorithms have been used for CD analysis (SELCON, CONTIN, CDsstr, SOMSpec) and some of these have been applied to IR data, though IR is more commonly analysed by bandfitting or statistical approaches. …”

Caribou and Reindeer Population Cycles Are Driven by Top‐Down and Bottom‐Up Mechanisms Across Space and Time by T. J. Clark‐Wolf, Jack St. John, Chandni A. Rajesh, Mark Hebblewhite

“…We hypothesized that predation and food resources would interact to affect the amplitude and period of population cycles across the species' range. To test this, we used a two‐pronged approach: (1) we conducted a range‐wide statistical analysis of population data from 43 Rangifer herds; and (2) we built tri‐trophic mechanistic population models of predator–Rangifer–food interactions. …”
