چکیده
We review the complex differential geometry of the space of oriented affine lines in R and give a description of Hamilton’s characteristic functions for reflection in an oriented C surface in terms of this geometry.

On zeroth Poisson homology in positive characteristic
A Poisson algebra is a commutative algebra with a Lie bracket {, } satisfying the Leibniz rule. Such algebras appear in classical mechanics. Namely, functions on the phase space form a Poisson algebra, and Hamilton’s equation of motion is df dt = {f, H}, where H is the Hamiltonian (energy) function. Moreover, the transition from classical to quantum mechanics can be understood in terms of defor...

Soil water characteristic curve shows the relationship between soil water content and matric suction, which has an important role in water movement in the soil. The measurement of this curve is expensive and time-consuming in laboratory therefore, many methods have been proposed for its estimation including pedotransfer functions. By using the pedotransfer functions, soil water characteristic c...
متن کاملBuckling and vibration analysis of angle -ply symmetric laminated composite plates with fully elastic boundaries
The main focus of this paper is on efficiency analysis of two kinds of approximating functions (characteristic orthogonal polynomials and characteristic beam functions) that have been applied in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to determine the non-dimensional buckling and frequency parameters of an angle ply symmetric laminated composite plate with fully elastic boundaries. It has been observed that o...
متن کاملEffects of Reflection on Clinical Learning of Medical Students
Introduction: Reflection is considered as a critical characteristic in professional competitions. Despite propagation of reflection as an important educational issue and existence of several helpful patterns, instructions conducted by teachers to explaining and expanding of it, are very little. Studies related to this topic were mainly performed in the field of nursing. Therefore, we decided to...
متن کاملReflective Learning and Teaching: A Review
Introduction: One of the most important characteristic of human being is his ability to learn. Structuralists believe that learning is an active process through which learners explores the principles, meanings and facts by themselves. Learner’s participation in learning process is one of the active learning strategies and reflective learning is considered as an active teaching method which is i...
