Priorities for Vocabulary Intervention Design Using Texting — Data to Examine the Critical Role of Language Learners\u27 Behaviors and Perceptions

We examined the role of university English language learners\u27 (ELLs) behavior and perception of a texting-based instruction intervention on their academic vocabulary acquisition. This article reports on the data pertaining to 108 ELLs from six undergraduate classes taking two comparable undergraduate courses on content-based English for Academic Purpose (EAP). The data include (1) the performance of the control and intervention groups on pre-and post-intervention tests on target vocabulary and academic vocabulary, (2) a pre-intervention survey of participants\u27 technology use, and (3) a post-intervention survey of participants on learning behavior during the intervention and their perception of the intervention. Data presented here are related to the article

Quasi In-Situ EBSD Analysis of Twinning-Detwinning and Slip Behaviors in Textured AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Subjected to Compressive-Tensile Loading

Twinning and detwinning behavior, together with slip behavior, are studied in a textured AZ31 magnesium alloy under compressive and tensile strains along the rolling direction (RD) after each interrupted mechanical test via quasi in-situ electron backscattered diffraction technique. The results show that twinning firstly takes place under the compressive strain along the RD. With the increasing compressive strain, {1012} tensile twins firstly nucleate, then propagate, and finally thicken. While under a reversed tensile strain along the RD, detwinning occurs. No nucleation happens during detwinning. Thus, tensile twins can detwin at lower tensile strain, followed by thinning, shortening, and vanishing. Slips are also activated to accommodate the plastic deformation. In the matrix, prismatic slip can only dominate at relatively high strains. Otherwise, basal slip dominates. While in the twins, prismatic slip can activate at lower strains, which is ascribed to the texture reorientation

Refractive index sensitivity characteristics near the dispersion turning point of the multimode microfiber-based Mach–Zehnder interferometer

The turning point of the refractive index (RI) sensitivity based on the multimode microfiber (MMMF) in-line Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is observed. By tracking the resonant wavelength shift of the MZI generated between the HE11 and HE12 modes in the MMMF, the surrounding RI (SRI) could be detected. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the RI sensitivity will reach ±∞ on either side of the turning point due to the group effective RI difference (퐺) approaching zero. Significantly, the positive sensitivity exists in a very wide fiber diameter range, while the negative sensitivity can be achieved in a narrow diameter range of only 0.3 μm. Meanwhile, the experimental sensitivities and variation trend at different diameters exhibit high consistency with the theoretical results. High RI sensitivity of 10777.8 nm/RIU (RI unit) at the fiber diameter of 4.6 μm and the RI around 1.3334 is realized. The discovery of the sensitivity turning points has great significance on trace detection due to the possibility of ultrahigh RI sensitivity
