The present study, based upon the image schema theory advanced by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), means to explore the relative effectiveness of image-schema-based instruction(ISBI) and translation-based instruction (TBI) on the learning of medical collocations of synonyms. By lecturing 60 non-English po...

ObjectiveIt’s unclear if the age stereotype of young doctors also applies to artificial intelligence (AI) doctors. Although research shows social media can reduce discrimination, age stereotypes are still underexplored. This study is aimed to determine the relationship between social media use and a...

This paper proposes a stable radio frequency (RF) transfer scheme based on phase modulation. The passive compensation method is used to compensate the phase variations. The use of only one mixer reduces the power consumption during the frequency mixing process. By utilizing a phase modulator, the is...
