Objectives: Wernicke’s aphasia is one of the most prominent focal brain deficits affecting the comprehension abilities of patients while preserving their production abilities. Although a lot of studies in different languages have been conducted to analyze the nature of this deficit, still some controversies exist in this regard. While some research studies attribute this defect to a performance...

Game theory is becoming central to the design and analysis of computational mechanisms in which multiple entities interact strategically. In particular, the tools of mechanism design are used extensively to engineer incentives for truth-revelation into resource-allocation and preferenceaggregation protocols, as evident in the work on combinatorial auctions and voting. On the other hand, traditi...

samples of participants’ writing were scored by two raters using toefl writing scoring rubric. the readability index of each text was calculated through the use of six readability formulae and graphs, i.e., flesch-kincaid index, reading ease index, fog index, smog formula, fry’s graph, and dale-chall readability index. the scores given to each essay were later compared to the obtained readabili...

Abstract Logical forgetting is removing some variables from a formula while maintaining its consequences on the remaining variables. This removal may require exponential time arbitrary propositional Horn formulae, but it only takes polynomial single-head definite formulae. Single-head means that no variable head of multiple clauses. An algorithm to make if possible shown. It enlarges set formul...

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of word clustering method on vocabulary learning of Iranian EFL learners through a case of semantic versus phonological clustering. To this effect, 80 homogeneous students from four intermediate classes at an English institute in Torbat e Heydariyeh participated in this research. They were assigned to four groups according to semantic versus phon...

A set of new formulae for the inverse of a block Hankel (or block Toeplitz) matrix is given. The formulae are expressed in terms of certain matrix Pad6 forms, which approximate a matrix power series associated with the block Hankel matrix. By using Frobenius-type identities between certain matrix Pad6 forms, the inversion formulae are shown to generalize the formulae of Gohberg-Heinig and, in t...

In earlier papers we have introduced an algorithm, SQEMA, for computing first-order equivalents and proving canonicity of modal formulae. However, SQEMA is not complete with respect to the so called complex Sahlqvist formulae. In this paper we, first, introduce the class of complex inductive formulae, which extends both the class of complex Sahlqvist formulae and the class of polyadic inductive...
