Background Internationally there is a gap between the development and delivery of professional pharmacy services. The fields of implementation science and knowledge translation have developed across disciplines with the objective of bringing evidence to practice. What appears necessary for success, but is not evident in implementation frameworks, is that core concepts should be considered for e...

Secure Function Evaluation (SFE) protocols are very hard to design, and reducibility has been recognized as a highly desirable property of SFE protocols. Informally speaking, reducibility (sometimes called modular composition) is the automatic ability to break up the design of complex SFE protocols into several simpler, individually secure components. Despite much effort, only the most basic ty...

There is a saying that theoretical constructions never go beyond experimental works in superconductor field. However, with recent year’s tremendous development of topological material, scientists realized that topological states of matter can actually be widespread, and hence the idea of topological superconductor became much more interesting and hence numerous theoretical works within the fram...

We developed a multidimensional coping inventory to assess the different ways in which people respond to stress. Five scales (of four items each) measure conceptually distinct aspects of problem-focused coping (active coping, planning, suppression of competing activities, restraint coping, seeking of instrumental social support); five scales measure aspects of what might be viewed as emotional-...

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between HEXACO personality traits and Iranian EFL learners’ speaking ability. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, among all the language institutes (fifteen institutes) in Amol, Mazandaran Province, 8 were selected randomly (four institutes for female and four institutes for male language learners). Then, two classes were selected rando...

Literature is replete with the studies focusing on the role of vocabulary knowledge in second language receptive skills. However, the relationship between the aspects of vocabulary knowledge and productive skills in general, and the speaking performance in particular has remained scanty in the related literature. This paper examined the relationship between knowledge of L2 vocabulary size at di...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of pre-speaking activities on Iranian intermediate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners’ oral performance. The study followed a quasi-experimental design in which subjects of the study were non-randomly selected. Oxford Placement Test (OPT) was used to select 100 intermediate EFL learners as the main sample. Then they were divided randomly into...

In this paper, we introduce a new 6n bit Dynamic Range Moduli set { 2 2n , 2 2n + 1, 2 2n – 1} and then present its associated novel reverse converters. First, we simplify the Chinese Remainder Theorem in order to obtain an efficient reverse converter which is completely memory less and adder based. Next, we present a low complexity implementation that does not require the explicit use of modul...
