The acquisition of TAM morphology in FSL and the importance of aspect Vrije Universiteit Brussel
La présente étude analyse le développement global de la morphologie verbale TAM à l’aide de données orales produites par des apprenants FL2 néerlandophones issus de l’enseignement secondaire flamand (Belgique). Le cadre théorique s’inspire majoritairement des travaux de Bartning et Schlyter sur l’itinéraire acquisitionnel à l’oral des apprenants FL2 (2004, 2003). Nous nous intéressons tout particulièrement au développement des marques ...
The use of verb morphology of advanced L2 learners and native speakers of French Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Research on L2 acquisition has proposed a more or less fixed 'natural order' or route of acquisition of various language elements (cf. Dulay, Burt and Krashen 1982; Ellis 1995; Perdue 1993). These acquisitional routes (or 'developmental paths') have been organised in successive stages. Each stage can be seen as constituting a grammatical 'profile' of a learner at a given moment in his development (Clahsen 1984; Pienemann 1998). A shortcoming of ...
The southeast Brazilian rifted continental margin is not a single, continuous upwarp : variations in morphology and denudation patterns along the continental drainage divide Ghent University
Rifted continental margins (RCM) are large-scale features of Earth's surface that show substantial morphological variations. Classical escarpment features are the subject of many studies in these settings while other mor-phologies that characterize this tectonic environment receive less attention. The case of the Brazilian South Atlantic margin, a continental-scale topographically pronounced terrain covering >1000 km of the western South ...
Influence of ploidy level on morphology, growth and drought susceptibility in Spathiphyllum wallisii Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
In this study, we analysed morphological, anatomical and physiological effects of polyploidisation in Spathiphyllum wallisii in order to evaluate possible interesting advantages of polyploids for ornamental breeding. Stomatal density was negatively correlated with increased ploidy level. Stomatal size increased in polyploids. Tetraploid Spathiphyllum plants had more ovate and thicker leaves. The inflorescence of tetraploids had a more ovate and ...
Genetic variants underlying differences in facial morphology in East Asian and European populations KU Leuven
Facial morphology-a conspicuous feature of human appearance-is highly heritable. Previous studies on the genetic basis of facial morphology were performed mainly in European-ancestry cohorts (EUR). Applying a data-driven phenotyping and multivariate genome-wide scanning protocol to a large collection of three-dimensional facial images of individuals with East Asian ancestry (EAS), we identified 244 variants in 166 loci (62 new) associated with ...
Coracoacromial morphology : a contributor to recurrent traumatic anterior glenohumeral instability? Ghent University
Inflectional patterns as constructions: Spanish verb morphology in Fluid Construction Grammar Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Although often a painful and prolonged process, conjugating verbs correctly is essential when you try to master a foreign language. Verbs that exhibit an irregular conjugation paradigm, however, are often the verbs that occur most frequently in a language. The nature of inflectional morphemes and the mechanism for conjugating verbs have been the topic of debate for 25 years now. This has lead to many different accounts of the problem, both in ...
The effect of surface morphology on the performance of 21% n-type PERT solar cells with an epitaxial rear emitter Hasselt University KU Leuven
In this work, we evaluate by means of simulations and measurements the effect of rear surface morphology on the performance of n-type rear-junction Passivated Emitter Rear Totally-diffused (PERT) solar cells with epitaxial emitter. A comparison of the electrical and optical performance between a rear polished and a rear textured surface was conducted on both test structures and solar cells. The effect of surface morphology on J(oe) for both ...
Cavernosa kapitiana (Bacillariophyceae) : Biogeography and morphology of the different life cycle stages Meise Botanic Garden University of Antwerp
The monospecific diatom genus Cavernosa is known from only two locations: Kapiti Island off the west coast of New Zealand and Ile de la Possession, Crozet Archipelago, in the southern Indian Ocean. Cavernosa kapitiana Stidolph is a chain-forming diatom with cylindrical frustules having an elongated valve mantle. We provide a description of the different life-cycle stages (normal frustules, globular initial cells, bell-shaped initial cells, first ...
