Managing the processes of autonomous business organizations while they collaborate is a key requirement in order to guarantee that every business partner sees benefits of the collaboration. Thanks to the advances in the middleware IT technologies, some of the most important limitations of cross-organizational collaborations have been resolved. Yet, there are still a number of problems related t...

The behavior of structures in generic extensions of the universe has been studied from a number of different angles; for example, Baldwin, Laskowski, and Shelah [2] studied the conditions under which non-isomorphic structures may become isomorphic, and Knight, Montalban, and Schweber [8] (and independently Kaplan and Shelah [7]) studied structures existing in every generic extension of the univ...

As a distinct socially constructed genre, wedding invitations (WIs) offer a fruitful site for investigating how two areas of genre knowledge (i.e., form and content) change over time under the influence of sociocultural forces. Through the examination of 100 Iranian WIs dating from 1970s to the present time, the study investigated the trajectories of change through time within the social semiot...

studies on child language acquisition show that in the lexical development process, generic concept has a significant function, as it has a determining role in the formation of skills such as extension and categorization of concepts. the present research aims to investigate the production and comprehension abilities of generic nouns, as well as the developmental patterns in two age groups (4-5 ...

We offer a new viewpoint on some of the generic structures constructed using Hrushovski’s predimensions and show that they are natural reducts of quite straightforward trivial, one-based stable structures. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 03C45.

background granisetron is a first-generation 5-ht3-receptor antagonist that has shown efficacy in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (ponv). in this randomized double-blind parallel-group clinical trial, we assessed the efficacy of generic granisetron versus kytril®, in the prevention of ponv in patients undergoing general anesthesia for gynaecological surgeries. method one hundred an...

objectives: the aim of this randomized clinical trial was to assess the efficacy of stimdate compared to ritalin in the treatment of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd). method: sixty four subjects (45 boys and 15 girls) aged 5-13 who were diagnosed with adhd based on (dsm-iv-tr) criteria were selected for this study. the subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: ...

We present design issues, data structures and algorithms which allow us to leverage the power of high performance computer clusters in generic finite element codes. Large scale flow simulations require parallel algorithms to scale to thousands of processor cores. Simple parallelization in generic finite element codes often reduces to implementing parallel linear algebra and solvers or interfaci...

this contrastive study, in the first place, examined the generic structure and, in the second place, explored the face theory proposed by arundale (2006) in 140 doctoral dissertation acknowledgments written by native speakers of persian (nsp) and native speakers of english (nse) in 7 disciplines representing soft sciences to find out what discourse genre components writers employ to articulate ...
