as a culture-based phenomenon which involves both linguistic and social aspects, translation has been investigated from various perspectives. the present critical discourse analysis (cda)-based study is an attempt to probe into the manipulation of ideologies in translations of political texts. a cda approach, based on fairclough (1989), van dijk (2004) and farahzad (2007), was adopted to conduc...

in this study, to increase information about the relationship between caprine and ovine isolates of pasteurella multocida, 16s rrna gene sequencing of 9 goats (5) and sheep (4) isolates were investigated. also, capsular type and toxagene presentation was studied in this paper. all isolates, except one, belong to capsular type a, and toxa+ strain distributed among strains were isolated from both...

The spacing effect describes the robust phenomenon whereby memory is enhanced when learning events are distributed, instead of being presented in succession. We investigated the effect of spacing on children's memory and category induction. Three-year-old children were presented with two tasks, a memory task and a category induction task. In the memory task, identical instances of an object wer...

Reduced respiratory neural activity elicits a rebound increase in phrenic and hypoglossal motor output known as inactivity-induced phrenic and hypoglossal motor facilitation (iPMF and iHMF, respectively). We hypothesized that, similar to other forms of respiratory plasticity, iPMF and iHMF are pattern sensitive. Central respiratory neural activity was reversibly reduced in ventilated rats by hy...

A retrospective analysis was performed on forty cases of spinal cord meningiomas, operated on at Dr. Shariati Hospital from 1976 to 1990. Age and sex distribution, clinical presentation and tumor location were comparable to those reported by others. In males the tumors were distributed evenly in cervical and dorsal areas and were often anterior to the cord. This finding makes a different s...

Alin, L. H. The memory laws of Jost. Göteborg Psychological Reports, 1997, 27, No. 1. The memory laws of Jost were analysed together with their experimental conditions. The design of Jost and his followers like Winz, Youtz, and Burdis resulted in confounded data which could not prove the correctness of the laws. The present author, however, extracted non-confounded data from the tables of Youtz...

Repetition normally enhances memory. While in some cases the benefit of added repetition may be incremental, few would expect that massed repetition could actually reverse the benefits of brief repetition. Here we report two experiments that document a clear example of a paradoxical effect of massed repetition. Subjects first repeated words (e.g., "sheep") aloud one at a time for 0, 5, 10, 20, ...

Repeated learning improves memory. Temporally distributed ("spaced") learning can be twice as efficient than massed learning. Importantly, learning success is a non-monotonic maximum function of the spacing interval between learning units. Further optimal spacing intervals seem to exist at different time scales from seconds to days. We briefly review the current state of knowledge about this "s...
