Paulo Quaglio

Paulo Quaglio, Modern Languages Department, was an invited speaker on March 12 at Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkey. His talk, titled “The Power of Concordancing in ESL/FL Teaching & Learning: Making the Invisible Visible,” presented techniques used in corpus linguistics to enhance language teaching and learning. 

Kevin Dames

Kevin Dames, Kinesiology Department, and Sutton Richmond, University of Florida, had an article published in Human Movement Science. The paper, “Good times, bad times? An evaluation of event detection strategies in time to boundary postural assessments” experimentally determined the effects of four algorithmic procedures for determining points of greatest postural instability during quiet standing. Their findings provide a replicable, objective means of eliminating unrealistic events in the continuous time series, which will increase clinical applicability of time to boundary for future work.
