This paper is to suggest the way to improve EFL reading skill through semantic mapping by leveled group activities. Semantic mapping is a categorical structuring of information in graphic forms or diagrams. It can be used to activate and organize background knowledge on topics in classrooms. For small group activities, the class is divided into higher leveled groups and lower leveled groups of four members based on their grades. The teaching process has three stages: Pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading. In the pre-reading stage, students discuss what they know about the topic. They map ideas with a brainstorming technique. In the while-reading stage, they read the text about the topic. While they are reading, they could ask some questions they might have and discuss the information in the text and categorize them with semantic mapping. In the post-reading stage, they discuss what they thought of the topic and add some information about the topic with semantic mapping. For the subjects of this study, third grade, middle school students were selected: 41 students for the experimental group and 35 students for the control group. The experimental period covered almost one semester from March to August, 2000. The results were as follows: 1) The students in the experimental group had higher scores in reading comprehension than those in the control group when semantic mapping was used; 2) The use of semantic mapping in reading comprehension was found to be much more effective in the higher leveled group than in the lower leveled group; 3) The results of questionnaires showed that many students became more interested and motivated in English, and semantic mapping helped them to participate positively in reading the English text. Thus, using semantic mapping by leveled group activities can be an effective alternative to traditional teaching methods for teachers who desire to improve reading skill in middle school students' English classes.

This note presents the robust root clustering problem of interval systems whose characteristic equation might be given as either a family of interval polynomials or a family of polytopes. Corresponding to damping ratio and robustness margin approximately, we consider a certain class of D-region such as parabola, left-hyperbola, and ellipse in complex plane. Then a simpler D-stability criteria using rational function mapping is presented and prove. Without .lambda. or .omega. sweeping calculation, the absolute criteria for robust D-stability can be determined.

Let (equation omitted) denote the closure of the set (equation omitted) of dominant operators in the norm topology. We show that the Weyl spectrum of an operator T $\in$ (equation omitted) satisfies the spectral mapping theorem for analytic functions, which is an extension of [5, Theorem 1]. Also we show that an operator approximately equivalent to an operator of class (equation omitted) is of class (equation omitted).

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of random completely generalized nonlinear variational inclusions with non-compact valued random mappings and construct some new iterative algorithms. We prove the existence of random solutions for this class of random variational inclusions and the convergence of random iterative sequences generated by the algorithms.

In this paper, we consider define fuzzy invex sets and fuzzy preinvex functions on the class of Choquet integrable functions, and interval-valued fuzzy invex sets and interval-valued fuzzy preinvex functions on the class of interval-valued Choquet integrals. And also we prove some properties of them.

In this paper, we give some new definitions of D-metric spaces and we prove a common fixed point theorem for a class of mappings under the condition of weakly compatible mappings in complete D-metric spaces. We get some improved versions of several fixed point theorems in complete D-metric spaces.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the mind maps which were drawn with pencil or color pens by elementary students. For this study, 31 students of the 6th grade were selected and trained mind mapping. After training, the subjects had drawn mind maps with color pens about the ROCK for 15minutes and drew mind maps with pencil after 2days of mind mapping using color pens. In addition to activities of mind mapping, the students handed in their papers which were written one's impression of drawing two kinds of mind mapping. The results were follows: First, in central circle which was linked words connected firstly with ROCK as key word, the difference of 2kinds mind maps were little showed in the quantity and quality of the words, branches and their adequacy. Second, the mind maps using pencils had more words, branches and images than mind maps of using color pens in the whole assessment. Third, the most students suggested that the mind mapping using pencil were advantage to economy of time, retouching words and branches, also the mind mapping using pencil made the students relax the strain for drawing it because of retouching possibility. Consequently, the results of this study suggest the mind mapping using pencil has advantage effect on the purpose of gaining students' thinking abundantly and economy of time in elementary science classes.

A human-specific retroposon SINE-R.C2 has been derived from a human endogenous retrovirus HER V-K 10. It is absent in the genome of nonhuman primates and present within the third intron of the human C2 gene that is located in the class III region of the major histocompatibility complex. In the present study, we determined the regional location of the human C2 gene. The analysis of the Genebridge 4 radiation hybrid mapping panel using PCR amplification located the C2 gene between D6S1422 (10.1 cR) and CHLC.GATA4A03 (21.3) with a lod score of>3.0. This allowed us to localize C2 gene on the human chromosome 6 band p21.31.

In this paper, we give the notion of M(., .)-𝜂-proximal mapping for a nonconvex, proper, lower semicontinuous and subdifferentiable functional on Banach space and prove its existence and Lipschitz continuity. As an application, we introduce and investigate a new system of variational-like inclusions in Banach spaces. By means of M(., .)-𝜂-proximal mapping method, we give the existence of solution for the system of variational inclusions. Further, propose an iterative algorithm for finding the approximate solution of this class of variational inclusions. Furthermore, we discuss the convergence and stability analysis of the iterative algorithm. The results presented in this paper may be further expolited to solve some more important classes of problems in this direction.
