This document outlines a proposed study that would examine the effects of supplementary aural exercises via podcasts on students' acquisition of Spanish prepositions. It describes the research questions, methodology, participants, study design, and conclusions. The study would involve undergraduate Spanish students being divided into experimental and control groups, with the experimental groups listening to podcasts and completing written activities in addition to their regular coursework. Both groups would take pre- and post-tests involving cloze activities to measure their knowledge of prepositions. The document discusses challenges with implementing the study and limitations that may arise.
La revolución mexicana comenzó el 20 de noviembre de 1910 debido al creciente descontento con el largo mandato dictatorial de 34 años de Porfirio Díaz. Francisco I. Madero se levantó en armas contra el gobierno de Díaz y tras la toma de Ciudad Juárez, Díaz renunció y se exilió. Sin embargo, la lucha revolucionaria continuó en los años posteriores entre diferentes facciones que buscaban controlar el país.
Concurrent Replication of Parallel and Distributed SimulationsGabriele D'Angelo
Parallel and distributed simulations enable the analysis of complex systems by concurrently exploiting the aggregate computation power and memory of clusters of execution units. In this work we investigate a new direction for increasing both the speedup of a simulation process and the utilization of computation and communication resources. Many simulation-based investigations require to collect independent observations for a correct and significant statistical analysis of results. The execution of many independent parallel or distributed simulation runs may suffer the speedup reduction due to rollbacks under the optimistic approach, and due to idle CPU times originated by synchronization and communication bottlenecks under the conservative approach. We present a parallel and distributed simulation framework supporting concurrent replication of parallel and distributed simulations (CR-PADS), as an alternative to the execution of a linear sequence of multiple parallel or distributed simulation runs. Results obtained from tests executed under variable scenarios show that speedup and resource utilization gains could be obtained by adopting the proposed replication approach in addition to the pure parallel and distributed simulation.

Measuring social media is important for businesses since the market has declined. There are various metrics that can measure engagement with a social media site such as unique visitors, time spent on the site, and conversions. These engagement metrics help businesses discover their audience and see how people are interacting by reading, contributing, bookmarking or subscribing to content on the site.
Dr. Boffetta moved to Mount Sinai School of Medicine in 2010. He is Director of the Institute for Translational Epidemiology and Associate Director for Population Sciences of The Tisch Cancer Institute. He is also the Bluhdorn Professor of International Community Medicine.
This document provides an agenda and information for an @Home Social Media Boot Camp. It includes introductions for the organizers and speakers. The agenda covers why social media is important, characteristics of social media, creating social media strategies and campaigns, and tips for using different social media platforms like Instagram and Vine effectively. Participants engage in workshops to practice creating short videos and planning social media campaigns. The goal is to help participants better utilize social media to engage audiences and achieve their goals.
