An efficient approach called general sparse matrix canonical grid (G-SMCG) method is proposed to analyze the electromagnetic scattering from 2-D dielectric rough surface with a conducting object partially buried. In this paper, the scattering of 3-D arbitrarily shaped object is computed by using the traditional method of moments (MoM) with RWG basis function, and the scattering of rough surface...

How do we determine who owns what? This article reports evidence indicating that we typically assume that the first person who possesses an object is its owner. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants read cartoons in which two children each take a turn playing with a toy. Participants selected the character who first possessed the toy when judging who owned it, but not when judging which characte...

evaluation of communication abilities in the elderly is crucial for activities which will be performed to improve their quality of life. a valid and reliable questionnaire is needed for assessing communication abilities. we aimed to translate and validate the speech, spatial, and qualities of hearing scale (ssq) in iran. the forward-backward procedure was applied to translate the questionnaire ...

Introduction:Using cell phone has become an inseparable part of the life in the recent years. In spite of the useful usage of the cell phone, its constant over-use makes the field for people’s addiction and harms. The purpose of the present research is to analyze the relation between the cell phone’s scale and the way of use with the motivation of educational progress among the female students’...
