On behalf of the organizing committee for the AILA2014 congress, it is our very great pleasure to welcome you to the 17th World Congress of the International Association of Applied Linguistics here in Brisbane, Australia. AILA2014 marks 50 years since the first AILA was held in Nancy, France in 1964. We are indeed proud to have been given the privilege of hosting this major event and milestone in applied linguistics, together with the University of Queensland and the City of Brisbane. Brisbane has a long tradition of hosting international events and it was recently ranked as one of the ‘World’s Most Liveable Cities’ thanks to its international attractions such as the Gallery of Modern Art, and for hosting major international events such as the G20 Leaders’ Summit in November 2014. The congress venue, the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, is a world-class purpose-built venue renowned for its operational and service excellence. The Centre is located in a unique urban cultural and entertainment precinct in the heart of Brisbane known as South Bank.Set in lush subtropical riverfront parkland, South Bank is a dynamic urban lifestyle and retail precinct that showcases Queensland’s art and culture and hosts one of the world’s most important collections of indigenous art. With more than 200 Aboriginal languages and a multicultural modern society, Australia is the perfect venue for the 2014 World Congress with the theme: “One World – Many Languages”. In this congress we have the pleasure to welcome over 1600 delegates from 80 countries around the world making this one of the most international events in the history of AILA. The theme of the congress has encouraged a large number of colleagues to submit over 2,300 proposals for papers posters and symposia. Of these, 1018 oral papers, 222 posters, 32 workshops and 56 symposia were carefully selected by means of an elaborate review process that involved 121 international reviewers. Presentations have been carefully organised in strands in the program in a way that we hope you will find is focused and helpful for you in following your interests. We would like to especially welcome our 1510 presenters the large majority of whom travelled long distances to join us here in Australia. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to our plenary speakers and the 6 convenors of the invited, featured and ReN symposia who have gracefully accepted to come to Australia and help set the foundation for an extremely stimulating and intellectually rewarding academic program. This year we also have the pleasure of hosting the 2014 AILA Executive and International Committee Business Meeting, so a special welcome to the Executive Board and the International Committee members of AILA. It almost goes without saying that it is impossible to organise such a major academic event without the help and support of a team of people, academic institutions, sponsors and exhibitors. We are deeply grateful to the commitment of the AILA2014 organising team and the multitude of benefactors who once again have shown that applied linguistics is an academic discipline that encompasses areas of study and research that are integral to everyday and professional life and particularly relevant in today’s globalised world. Finally, we would like to thank you all for attending. We have done our best to provide a stimulating and wide- ranging program where participants have an opportunity to discuss their work and their interests. Keep in mind that congresses are also important for the more personal contacts and interactions that we make with our colleagues, and the community of scholars that that helps

  • Research Highlights
    Vol. 16, November 2016 Research Highlights Fishy approach reveals how things taste sweet or umami Okayama University have identified the protein conformational changes associated with sweet and umami taste recognition. Taste recognition occurs as specific protein receptors in the mouth interact with molecules in eaten food. The proteins responsible for tasting sweet and umami molecules are described as taste receptor type 1 (T1r) and are common to vertebrates in general, including fish, birds and mammals. It is known that the T1r family of variants interact with food molecules in paired up structures - “heterodimers” – Yamashita and colleagues identified the structure and to allow the distinction between umami, sweet, and other conformational changes in type 1 taste receptor proteins tastes. However, difficulties in producing and purifying these during the recognition of sweet and umami tastes proteins have inhibited attempts to directly investigate what interactions occur during sweet and umami taste recognition. Atsuko Yamashita and a team of researchers at RIKEN SPring-8 Center, the National Institute of Natural Science, the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), the Food Research Institute, Osaka University, Okazaki Institute for Integrative Biosciences, and Okayama University have now successfully demonstrated a way around these difficulties. They identified a fish known as medaka or “Japanese rice fish” as a suitable vertebrate model for investigating umami and sweet tastes. The researchers found they could produce – “express” – the ligand binding domain of the T1r2 and T1r3 proteins in medaka fish as functional heterodimeric proteins. They express the proteins in a glycosylated form, which is closer to the physiological state. The study identifies the conformational changes the proteins undergo during sweet and umami taste recognition for the first time.

  • American Football
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 American Football American Football popularly known as the Rugby Football or Gridiron originated in United States resembling a union of Rugby and soccer; played in between two teams with each team of eleven players. American football gained fame as the people wanted to detach themselves from the English influence. The father of this sport Walter Camp altered the shape and size of the ball to an oval-shaped ball called ovoid ball and drawn up some unique set of rules. Objective American Football is played on a four sided ground with goalposts at each end. The two opposing teams are named as the Offense and the Defense, The offensive team with control of the ovoid ball, tries to go ahead down the field by running and passing the ball, while the defensive team without control of the ball, targets to stop the offensive team’s advance and tries to take control of the ball for themselves. The main objective of the sport is scoring maximum number of goals by moving forward with the ball into the opposite team's end line for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the challenger's goalposts which is counted as a goal and the team gets points for the goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins.

We very easily could have been absorbed into the mainstream society. The pressures were there from all sides. No matter. We are here. Despite direct assimilation attempts. Despite the residential school systems. Despite the strong influences of the Church in Métis communities to ignore and deny our Aboriginal heritage and our Aboriginal spirituality. We are still able to say we are proud to be Métis. We are resilient as a weed. As beautiful as a wildflower.
