Radical Conservatism and Victorian Poetry: 1830-1906
… Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Charles Doughty – all of whom transform existing expressive repertoires in ways that offer neither a return to myths of origin nor a simple break from the past. Where Carlyle deems poetry incapable of regeneration, I suggest otherwise, by reading a series …

Is implicational generalisation unidirectional and applicable in foreign contexts? : evidence from relativization instruction in a foreign language
… structures can be accelerated when taught. Doughty (1991), Eckman, Bell and Nelson (1988), Hamilton (1994) and Gass (1982) showed that the acquisition of relative clauses is accelerated if learners are taught the most marked relativization types first. The present study targeted …

Learner-generated focus on lexical form during task-based interaction
… a favorable effect on learners' L2 development (Doughty & Varela, 1998; Mackey & Philp, 1998). Additional studies have focused on the benefits of focus on form through collaborative output tasks (Storch, 1998; Swain, 1998; Swain & Lapkin, 2001). The present study investigated the focus on form …

Intimate Deathscapes: Examining Alternative Discourses of the Dead Body and Death Care Spaces
… three autobiographies from death care workers (Doughty, 2014; Nadle, 2006; Wilde, 2017). The authors make compelling claims about the positive influence that can come from more engagement with death, which differ significantly from dominant discourses that pathologize death and cloak it in …

An investigation into the sources of sexual information amongst the pupils in standards 9 and 10 in a co-educational high school in Cape Town
… (1982), Gebhard (1977), Kallen, Stephenson and Doughty (1983), Spanier (1977) and Thornburg (1970, 1972, 1975, 1981a, 1981b, 1985). Results are quantitative in nature, and are treated predominantly descriptively. Comparisons of the findings are made with regard to previous research of a similar …

Development and performance evaluation of a multistatic radar system
Multistatic radar systems are of emerging interest as they can exploit spatial diversity, enabling improved performance and new applications. Their development is being fuelled by advances in enabling technologies in such fields as communications and Digital Signal Processing (DSP). Such systems …

An Interpretive Exploration of the Experiences of Mothers with Obesity and Midwives Who Care for the Obese Mother during Childbearing.
Obesity, as defined as a BMI ≥ 30 (kg/m2) had been established as a risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality during childbearing. There was a need for empirical research to explore the experiences of obese women and midwives during childbearing to stimulate debate and inform the delivery …

Scientific laws and causality in the philosophy of second language acquisition: A neo-Aristotelian approach
… to SLA (e.g., White, 1989, 2003, 2007) and in Doughty and Long’s (2003) call for SLA to abide under the same disciplinary roof as cognitive science (see also Gregg, 2003). But cognitivism in SLA has not gone unchallenged. Block (1996), for example, argued for a poorly defined version of …

Persistence of response variation and repetition
A multiple chained schedule was used to assess the persistence of fixed and variable response sequences. In one terminal link, a single 4-peck response sequence produced food (Repeat) and in the other terminal link a 4-peck response sequence produced food only if it had been occurring infrequently …

The ecological viability of wildlife conservancies in the Greater Mara Ecosystem
Wildlife conservancies are being promoted as a potential mechanism for both increasing the overall amount of land available for wildlife conservation and for reducing human-wildlife conflict/competition with domestic livestock. This is achieved by creating a protected area buffer on privately owned …

Interplanetary Trajectory Optimization with Automated Fly-By Sequences
<p>Critical aspects of spacecraft missions, such as component organization, control algorithms, and trajectories, can be optimized using a variety of algorithms or solvers. Each solver has intrinsic strengths and weaknesses when applied to a given optimization problem. One way to mitigate …

Effects of multiple incident shock waves on the flow in a transonic turbine cascade
Turbine aerodynamic designers are currently focusing on unsteady passage flow to increase turbine performance. In particular, for high pressure turbine stages the effects of wakes and shocks shed from an upstream blade row on the downstream blade row need to be understood. Also, experimental data …

The effect of blade solidity on the aerodynamic loss of a transonic turbine cascade
Past research at Virginia Tech (VPI) explored the aerodynamic loss of the transonic VPI turbine blade, which 1s based on the pitchline profile of a high pressure turbine blade for a large commercial aircraft gas turbine. The current experiment explores the loss of the VPI blade for different axial …
