Individual variation in stage duration in matrix population models: Problems and solutions

: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type

abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...

manipulation in dubbing and subtitling

پژوهش حاضر در چارچوب مکتب دستکاری قرار گرفت و با استفاده از تقسیم بندی دوکات (2007) از شیوه های دستکاری، به دنبال یافتن پاسخ برای پرسش های زیر بود: 1-رایج ترین شیوه دستکاری در دوبله فیلم ها کدام است؟ 2-رایج ترین شیوه دستکاری در زیرنویس فیلم ها کدام است؟ 3-دستکاری در دوبله فیلم ها رایج تر است یا در زیرنویس آن ها؟ این پژوهش از نوع تحقیقات توصیفی- مقایسه ای و پیکره ای می باشد. پیکره تحقیق شا...

Regret minimization in repeated matrix games with variable stage duration

Regret minimization in repeated matrix games has been extensively studied ever since Hannan’s (1957) seminal paper. Several classes of no-regret strategies now exist; such strategies secure a longterm average payoff as high as could be obtained by the fixed action that is best, in hindsight, against the observed action sequence of the opponent. We consider an extension of this framework to repe...

Causes and consequences of variation in plant population growth rate: a synthesis of matrix population models in a phylogenetic context.

Explaining variation in population growth rates is fundamental to predicting population dynamics and population responses to environmental change. In this study, we used matrix population models, which link birth, growth and survival to population growth rate, to examine how and why population growth rates vary within and among 50 terrestrial plant species. Population growth rates were more sim...
