the changing of round and back vowel /u/ to unround and front vowel [i] occurs in lori dialects as well as some other persian dialects. this vowel change includes both unrounding and fronting. this paper aimed at coming up with an inclusive ranking of constraints to explain occurrence and nonoccurrence of this vowel change in various phonological environments in silahkori dialect within optimal...

As historically acknowledged in the Reasoning about Actions and Change community, intuitiveness of a logical domain description cannot be fully automated. Moreover, like any other logical theory, action theories may also evolve, and thus knowledge engineers need revision methods to help in accommodating new incoming information about the behavior of actions in an adequate manner. The present wo...

in this study, the vibration behavior of functional graded (fg) circular and annular nanoplate embedded in a visco-pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change is studied. the effect of in-plane pre-load and temperature change are investigated on the vibration frequencies of fg circular and annular nanoplate. to obtain the vibration frequencies of the fg circular and annular nanopla...

In this study, the vibration behavior of circular and annular graphene sheet embedded in a Visco-Pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change and under in-plane pre-load is studied. The single-layered annular graphene sheet is coupled by an enclosing viscoelastic medium which is simulated as a Visco- Pasternak foundation. By using the nonlocal elasticity theory and classical plate t...

introduction: osteoporosis is a major problem in today's world, being characterized by decreased bone mass and bone change. due to deficiency of theory-based studies in young population, especially in students, there are significant knowledge gaps of effective planning. the present study was performed in response to this need. the present study investigated the effect of an empowerment program ...
