Multiple Aptitude for Instructed Second Language Acquisition

Robinson, Peter. 2003. Multiple Aptitude for Instructed Second Language Acquisition. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics 3-3, 375-410. As Snow (1989) and Sternberg (1985) have long argued, learning, and adaptation to the learning environment or classroom context (at the levels of instructional treatment, interventionist focus on form technique, or pedagogic task) is a result of the interaction of context at each of these levels of description with learners' patterns of abilities. In this paper I argue that this is an important area of research for SLA pedagogy, as well as SLA theory development, and I review recent developments in the study of L2 learning conditions; of the abilities contributing to L2 aptitude; and of their interaction with the processes involved in successful classroom learning and practice, and propose a model of 'multiple aptitudes' for classroom learning based on these findings.

Business Incubator Explanations: Networking and Gender Differences

Sherry Robinson KINFORMS 2009 Management Review Vol.4 No.2

Research investigating gender differences in small business performance has frequently shown women-owned businesses to be smaller in terms of sales, profits and number of employees (Cooper, Gimeno-Dascon, & Woo, 1994; Kalleberg & Leicht, 1991; Loscocco & Leicht, 1993; Watson & Robinson, 2003). One reason for this may be social networks that are not as diverse and useful as men’s networks, making it more difficult for women to access external business resources. Business incubators attempt to enhance tenants’ networks, and thus increase access to needed resources. In this theoretical paper, it is argued that even though all incubatees are likely to benefit from networking assistance, it may be especially useful for women with less diverse networks. Suggestions for future research based on this conceptual framework are also presented.

Stipa pulchra 군락 분포의 생태학적 제한요인에 (制限要因) 대한 해석

Robinson Richard Hayes 한국식물학회 1971 Journal of Plant Biology Vol.14 No.3

Ecological factors limiting. Stipa pulchra have been determined in experimental gardens and at several sites in the hills south and east of Monterey, California. The Stipa pulchra facies of Valley Grassland communities were found to be dominated by that species, though a total of 36 grasses and forbs were collected and identified. Basal area was not large, but aerial cover by Stipa alone averaged over 50 per cent. Across an ecotone between a Stipa association and the California Annual Type a sudden and dramatic change was recorded. Soil measurements there, and in other nearby areas, showed a much higher clay content with more available water and elemental phosphorus at the Stipa sites. Germination of Stipa seeds was high under all laboratory and field conditions, though growth of seedlings was highly variable. Seedlings grown in Stipa soil with an abundance of water were vigorous and reached anthesis the first year. In other soils they grew less, and when grown in competition with Avena fatua they scarcely grew at all. These findings indicate that when established on desirable soils, Stipa competes well and apparently precludes the dominance of Avena fatua and other large annual grasses. On the other hand, because of a lack of vigor in its seedlings, Stipa cannot reinvade the rich more friable soils on which it was once found, and on which it was shown to grow satisfactorily. This supports the contention that Stipa pulchra was the dominant grass through much of the Valley Grassland and Foothill Woodland, but also indicates that well-drained soils and those poor in mineral nutrients probably never supported such associations.

Load response of the natural tooth and dental implant: A comparative biomechanics study

Robinson, Dale,Aguilar, Luis,Gatti, Andrea,Abduo, Jaafar,Lee, Peter Vee Sin,Ackland, David The Korean Academy of Prosthodonitics 2019 The Journal of Advanced Prosthodontics Vol.11 No.3

PURPOSE. While dental implants have displayed high success rates, poor mechanical fixation is a common complication, and their biomechanical response to occlusal loading remains poorly understood. This study aimed to develop and validate a computational model of a natural first premolar and a dental implant with matching crown morphology, and quantify their mechanical response to loading at the occlusal surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A finite-element model of the stomatognathic system comprising the mandible, first premolar and periodontal ligament (PDL) was developed based on a natural human tooth, and a model of a dental implant of identical occlusal geometry was also created. Occlusal loading was simulated using point forces applied at seven landmarks on each crown. Model predictions were validated using strain gauge measurements acquired during loading of matched physical models of the tooth and implant assemblies. RESULTS. For the natural tooth, the maximum vonMises stress (6.4 MPa) and maximal principal strains at the mandible ($1.8m{\varepsilon}$, $-1.7m{\varepsilon}$) were lower than those observed at the prosthetic tooth (12.5 MPa, $3.2m{\varepsilon}$, and $-4.4m{\varepsilon}$, respectively). As occlusal load was applied more bucally relative to the tooth central axis, stress and strain magnitudes increased. CONCLUSION. Occlusal loading of the natural tooth results in lower stress-strain magnitudes in the underlying alveolar bone than those associated with a dental implant of matched occlusal anatomy. The PDL may function to mitigate axial and bending stress intensities resulting from off-centered occlusal loads. The findings may be useful in dental implant design, restoration material selection, and surgical planning.

The Second Crisis of Economic Theory : RICHARD T. ELY LECTURE

ROBINSON, JOAN 연세대학교 경영대학원 1972 經營論叢 Vol.7 No.1

In short, we have not got a theory of distribution. We have nothing to say on the people whom economics is supposed to enlighten. Here th second crisis links up with the first. The first crisis failed to be resolved because there was no solution to the problem of maintaining near-full employment without inflation. Experience of inflation has destroyed the conventions governing the acceptance of existing distribution. Everyone can see that his relative earnings depend on the bargaining power of the group that he belongs to. The professors become quite nervous when they are discussing the earnings of the garbage collectors. Now it is clear enough that income from property is not the reward of waiting but the reward of employing a good stock broker. On top of this a sudden freeze comes down. If it is successful it is to keep everyone in the position where he happened to be when the scramble for relative gains was brought to a halt and it will perpetuate the division of income between work and property that happened to exist when it set in. But it does not seem likely that it will be as successful as all that. Rather it will add a political elements to the distribution of bargaining power. Perhaps this is going to create a crisis in the so called free-enterprise economy. I am not talking about that. I am talking about the evident bank ruptcy of economic theory which for the second time has nothing to say on the questions that, to everyone except economists, appear to be most in need of an answer.

WHAT POLICIES SHOULD THE UNITED STATES ADOPT TO COUNTER THE SOVIET MILITARY THREAT TO NORTHEAST ASIA?

Robinson,Thomas W. The Institute for Far Eastern Studies Kyungnam Uni 1983 ASIAN PERSPECTIVE Vol.7 No.1

Until recently, american Policy in Northeast Asia centered on relations with three regional powers and the issues associated with them. Japanese-American relations revolved around the details of trade, fiscal policy, and defense cooperation. Korean-American developments concentrated on how to defend the South while still maintaining conditions for rapid economic growth and gradual political liberalization process, gradually worked out the status of Taiwan, and moved on to discuss with Peking a wide range of future economic and political ties.
