The purpose of the current study was to initiate the development of a psychometrically sound measure of cohesion for youth sport groups. A series of projects were undertaken in a four-phase research program. The initial phase was designed to garner an understanding of how youth sport group members perceived the concept of cohesion through focus groups (n = 56), open-ended questionnaires (n = 28...

Modularity has been considered an important software product quality criterion. A software product is considered modular if its components exhibit a high cohesion and its components are weakly coupled. A module has high cohesion if all of its elements are related strongly. In the particular context of object oriented applications, there are different types of coupling between classes. Measuring...

in this paper, we formalize the menger probabilistic normed space as a category in which its objects are the menger probabilistic normed spaces and its morphisms are fuzzy continuous operators. then, we show that the category of probabilistic normed spaces is isomorphicly a subcategory of the category of topological vector spaces. so, we can easily apply the results of topological vector spaces...

From the time of DNA replication until anaphase onset, sister chromatids remain tightly paired along their length. Ctf7p/Eco1p is essential to establish sister-chromatid pairing during S-phase and associates with DNA replication components. DNA helicases precede the DNA replication fork and thus will first encounter chromatin sites destined for cohesion. In this study, I provide the first evide...

Abstract This study focused mainly on the shifts of the grammatical cohesion in texts translated from English into Persian. It aimed to identify the grammatical cohesive devices (GCDs) in ST and TT separately, based on Halliday and Hassn's Model (1976), determine the number of occurrences of GCDs in two texts and finally, illustrate types of shifts of grammatical cohesion and strategies used in...
