English As a Lingua Franca for EFL Contexts

This book explores the interfaces of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy. It presents the theoretical aspects of ELF, discusses issues and challenges that ELF raises for the EFL classroom, and demonstrates how EFL practitioners can make use of ELF theorizing for classroom instruction, teacher education, developing language learning materials, policymaking and testing and assessment. Accounts of innovative and practical pedagogical practices and researchers' insights from diverse geographical, cultural and institutional contexts will inform and inspire EFL practitioners to reconsider their practices and adopt new techniques in order to meet their learners' diverse communicative needs in international contexts.

This book explores the interfaces of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy.

Using English as a Lingua Franca in Education in Europe

English in Europe

This volume examines the role of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in education in Europe. The volume focuses on attitudes towards ELF in different parts of the continent; discusses the extent to which ELF is perceived as a threat or opportunity in European education; and covers the use of ELF in different academic contexts.

Electrical Product Safety: A Step-by-Step Guide to LVD Self Assessment

A Step-by-Step Guide to LVD Self Assessment

Electrical Product Safety: A Step-by-Step Guide to LVD Self Assessment provides a step-by-step approach to meeting the LVD and reducing safety approval costs. It is a practical and easy to follow guide aimed at helping manufacturers of electrical products, and in particular small and medium sized businesses to understand the requirements of the LV regulations, understand the basic safety principles, self assess their products and create customised safety reports. The guide is presented in four parts: the first part examines the regulations, their enforcement and the concept of due diligence; the second and most detailed part takes the reader through the process of product self evaluation and report compilation; part three deals with the documentation, i.e. how to compile a technical file and how to prepare a declaration of conformity; finally part four explains how to set up factory and production control systems. Electrical Product Safety has been written by a Trading Standards Office (D. Holland) and an experienced Safety Approvals Engineer (J. Tzimenakis). A complete, practical guide to meeting core EU legal requirements Designed for easy application by small and medium companies, not just large technical teams Expertise of an author who has set up a similar system at Sony, and supplies supporting software

Recent Advances on Model Hosts

Most studies of bacterial or fungal infectious diseases focus separately on the pathogenic microbe, the host response, or the characterization of therapeutic compounds. Compartmentalization of pathogenesis-related research into an analysis of the “pathogen”, the “host,” or the “antimicrobial compound” has largely been dictated by the lack of model systems in which all of these approaches can be used simultaneously, as well as by the traditional view that microbiology, immunology, and chemical biology and pharmacology are separate disciplines. An increasing number of workers from different fields have turned to insects, fish, worms and other model hosts as facile, ethically expedient, relatively simple, and inexpensive hosts to model a variety of human infectious diseases and to study host responses and innate immunity. Because many of these hosts are genetically tractable, they can be used in conjunction with an appropriate pathogen to facilitate the discovery of novel features of the host innate immune response. This book provides a series of reports from the 1st International Conference on Model Hosts. This first of its kind meeting focused on invertebrate, vertebrate and amoeboid systems used for the study of host-pathogen interactions, virulence and immunity, as well as on the relevance of these pathogenesis systems and mammalian models. Importantly, a common, fundamental set of molecular mechanisms is employed by a significant number of microbial pathogens against a widely divergent array of metazoan hosts. Moreover, the evolutionarily conserved immune responses of these model hosts have contributed important insights to our understanding of the innate immune response of mammals.

Introduction. Over the past two decades a number of findings made in Drosophila
melanogaster have provided important new insights into mammalian innate
immunity (Hoffmann et al. 1999; Martinelli and Reichhart 2005). The power of this
system is best exemplified by the discovery that Toll, a receptor used for dorso-
ventral patterning in ...

Multi-disciplinary Trends in Artificial Intelligence

9th International Workshop, MIWAI 2015, Fuzhou, China, November 13-15, 2015, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Multi-disciplinary Trends in Artificial Intelligence, MIWAI 2015, held in Fuzhou, China, in November 2015. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 12 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 83 submissions. The papers feature a wide range of topics covering knowledge representation, reasoning, and management; multi-agent systems; data mining and machine learning; computer vision; robotics; AI in bioinformatics; AI in security and networks; and other AI applications.

MIWAI has evolved from an annual series of international workshops, which was
initiated in 2007 by Mahasarakham University in Thailand as the Mahasarakham
International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence. In 2011, it was renamed as the
Multi-disciplinary International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence, and was for the
first time held outside Thailand, in Hyderabad, India. This year, the 9th workshop
in this series, MIWAI 2015, took place in Fuzhou, China during November 13–15,
