heterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings
from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
Cepheids, Eclipsing Binaries and the Distance Scale: from the Galaxy to the Local Group
I present a review of recent observational work on Cepheid variables and eclipsing binaries in our Galaxy, the Magellanic Clouds, and other members of the Local Group.
متن کاملIonizing Photon Sources within the Local Group
We review the possible sources of ionizing photons within the Local Group. Throughout most of the LG volume, the cosmic background radiation will dominate, but locally (e.g., within d ∼ 100 kpc of the Galactic disk) stellar ionizing photons escaping from galaxies may dominate. The magnitude of the cosmic ionizing background should be determined in the very near future by observations of Hα emis...
متن کاملMathematics of Statistical Parallax and the Local Distance Scale
We present a mathematical analysis of the statistical parallax method. The method yields physical insight into the maximum-likelihood determinations of the luminosity and velocity distribution and enables us to conduct a vigorous Monte Carlo investigation into various systematic effects. We apply our analytic formalism to the RR Lyrae sample of Layden et al. The velocity distribution of RR Lyra...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
