Although the use of metaphorical markers in corpora has been studied to a largeextent (e.g., Glucksberg & Keysar 1993; Skorczynska & Deignan, 2006; Sznjder,2005), no attempt to the best of the researchers' knowledge has been made todescribe metaphorical marking in a comparative analysis of 2 corpora in bothnational and international journals of applied linguistics in Iran. The gap envisagedhas ...

Monte Carlo analysis is a research strategy that incorporates randomness into the design, implementation or evaluation of theoretical models. It began in the 1940s, when the development of computer hardware and mathematical models made it possible to generate streams of random numbers. These random number streams are combined with mathematical models in order to create models and evaluate theor...

To better understand the complex relationship between academic researchers and funding agencies, the author interviewed 15 academic researchers regarding their views, suggestions, and difficulties in coordinating the proposal process. Data suggest that academic research funding is highly rhetorical, and that successful researchers have well-developed managerial, organizational, and communicatio...

This dissertation concerns the morphophonological alternation of lexical items, determined by syntactic position. It considers three types of inflection, positional allomorphy and certain examples of phenomena collectively called "contraction", and argues that the notion of lexical insertion into d-structure, underlying many current syntactic theories, has difficulty in accounting for these cas...

This study explored whether academic entitlement predicts counterproductive research behaviors (CRBs), operationalized as study absences and careless responding. Academic entitlement has been linked with other forms of counterproductive academic behaviors, but most research has demonstrated this relationship using self-report measures. The current study employed behavioral measures of CRBs and ...

In 90 days neurotoxicity the number of degenerate mylinated nerve fiber were fewer than in acute neurotoxicity. The study consist of 4 groups as untreated control, low dose, intermediate dose and high dose. Control group was dosed orally daily for 90 days with corn oil, low dose group dosed with 1.25 mg/kg of TOCP, intermediate group dosed with 2.5mg/kg of TOCP and high dose group dosed with 5m...

On September 3, 2003, the Medical Library Association adopted a policy statement on the role of expert searching in health sciences libraries. The policy highlighted the need for more thorough literature searching following the unfortunate death of a healthy research volunteer in a clinical trial that might have been prevented by a more complete literature review [1–3]. In light of this policy,...
