this study looks at the communication between users concerning health risks, with the aim of exploring their use of fora and assessing whether participants establish a niche with like-minded users during these exchanges. by integrating a corpus linguistic approach with content analysis and multiple studies on computer mediated health discourse, this study analyses the intense attention paid to ...

Reading comprehension is one of the most important skills, especially in the EFL context. One way to improve reading comprehension is through strategy use. The present study aimed at investigating the effect of question-generation strategy on learners' reading comprehension. The participants in the study were 63 intermediate students from three intact groups in Resa institute in Boukan, They we...

background: leishmaniasis is a protozoan disease cause by leishmania genus. anthroponotic and zoono­tic cutaneous leishmaniasis are endemic in iran. the aim of this study was to identify the causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis by mini-exon gene in five regions of khuzestan province, southwest of iran. methods: from 2007 to 2008 in this cross-sectional study, cutaneous samples were collec...

For n a positive integer and K a finite set of finite algebras, let L(n,K) denote the largest n-generated subdirect product whose subdirect factors are algebras in K. When K is the set of all ngenerated subdirectly irreducible algebras in a locally finite variety V, then L(n,K) is the free algebra FV(n) on n free generators for V. For a finite algebra A the algebra L(n, {A}) is the largest n-ge...

Let l ≥ 3. Using the moduli interpretation, we define certain elliptic modular forms of level Γ(l), which make sense over any field k in which 6l 6= 0 and that contains the lth roots of unity. Over the complex numbers, these forms include all holomorphic Eisenstein series on Γ(l) in all weights, in a natural way. The graded ring Rl that is generated by our special modular forms turns out to be ...

Let L be a finitely generated free color Lie superalgebra. We obtain new almost primitive and test elements of L. AMS Subject Classification: 17B01, 17B40

How neural activity produces our experience of color is controversial, because key behavioral results remain at odds with existing physiological data. One important, unexplained property of perception is selective adaptation to color contrast. Prolonged viewing of colored patterns reduces the perceived intensity of similarly colored patterns but leaves other patterns relatively unaffected. We m...
