The Mediating Role of Attentional Control on the Relationship Between Multilingualism and Writing Ability of Iranian EFL Learners by Hamed Keramat, Sima Modirkhamene

“…One of the most important cognitive factors which is reported to be advantageous among multilingual learners is the notion of attentional control (AC), as one of the core executive functions (EFs). The present study was thus motivated to investigate the moderating role of AC on the writing proficiency including three CAF measures (complexity, fluency, and accuracy) of Iranian upper-intermediate trilingual learners in comparison to bilinguals. …”

Crowd-based collaboration caching mechanism in smart identifier network by Haifeng LI, Wei QUAN, Nan CHENG, Hongke ZHANG, Xuemin SHEN

“…Smart identifier network (SINET) is an innovative network architecture.Through dynamic collaboration of service resource,function groups and physical components,the network scalability,resource utilization and service quality were effectively improved by SINET,and an effective solution for the development of industrial Internet of things(IoT) could be provided.To promote content delivery in resource-constrained IoT,caching function was introduced in network components by SINET,and the bandwidth waste caused by traffic redundancy in resource-constrained node could be reduced.Therefore,how to efficiently cache content became an important research topic.Based on SINET architecture,a crowd-based collaboration cache (C2Cache) mechanism was proposed in this scheme.According to the actual network topology,the caching function group was dynamically created and optimized by C2Cache,and a function group as crowd minimum unit to execute the maximum benefit cache (MBC) algorithm was defined to maximize the caching space efficiency.With the self-developed emulation system,named EmuStack,the performance of C2Cache was evaluated.The experimental results show that,comparing with LCE,Random,Prob Cache,LCD and Greedy caching mechanisms,the cache hit rate can be improved effectively,then the average access time can be reduced significantly by C2Cache.In the simulated network scenario,the performance increases 15% to 30%.…”

Proofreader’s Figure in Plot and Meta-Plot of the Novel “Transparent Things” by V. V. Nabokov by E. G. Nikolayeva

“…In conclusion, the article draws conclusions about the meta-literary potential of the hero-proofreader in the plot, as well as the ambiguity of his figure in the poetics of this author. In addition, the function of heroes’ clothes is considered. The extent and quality of connectedness of the characters with objective reality are interpreted as a signal of the hero’s execution / non-execution of his function in the novel. …”
