background and purpose: learning style is the processing of information and comprehension. if teachers present contents in a style that matches a student’s preferred learning style, academic performance and success will improve. if content retention improves it will result in an increase in the test scores. it is also important to determine if students, as a group, fit into a particular style o...

The present investigation sought to explore the relationship between learning styles and writing behaviors of EFL learners in a blended environment. It also aimed to identify the learning style types best predicting writing behaviors. Initially, the participants' preferred learning styles were identified through the Kolb’s learning style inventory (Kolb, 1984). Secondly, data were obtained thro...

Background: Given importance to learning and given priority to this point that human beings acquire more of their abilities and competencies through learning, learning styles are focused as a pivotal factor in realization of mental and potential abilities. Empowering academic members in the areas of teaching, scholarship, and leadership leads to the achievement of the missions and goals of the ...

We show that when the antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond field is included in the Randall-Sundrum scenario, although the hierarchy problem can be solved, it requires an extreme fine tuning of the Kalb-Ramond field (about 1 part in 10). We interpret this as the return of the problem in disguise. Further, we show that the Kalb-Ramond field induces a small negative cosmological constant on the visible brane.

background and purpose: presently, the method of medical teaching has shifted from lecture-based to computer-based. the learning style may play a key role in the attitude toward learning computer. the goal of this study was to study the relationship between the learning style and attitude toward computer among iranian medical students. methods: this cross-sectional study included 400 medical st...

Electromagnetic and (linearized) gravitational interactions of the Kalb-Ramond (KR) field, derived from an underlying ten dimensional heterotic string in the zero slope limit, are studied in a five dimensional background Randall-Sundrum I spacetime with standard model fields confined to the visible brane having negative tension. The warp factor responsible for generating the gauge hierarchy in ...

In this work we investigate a braneworld scenario where a Kalb-Ramond field propagates, together with gravity, in a five dimensional AdS slice. The rank-2 Kalb-Ramond field is associated with torsion. We study the compactification of the Kalb-Ramond field to four dimensional space-time without gauge fixing, focusing on the effects of torsion. On the brane the Kalb-Ramond field interacts with Aμ...

This study investigated learning style preferences among professional translators. The purposes of the study were to (a) find the prevailing learning style among the Iranian professional translators; (b) reveal any significant difference in the translators’ learning style preferences in terms of gender; and (c) find any significant difference between individual learning style and translation co...
