Persian and Turkish exhibit a number of striking similarities: (a) many verbal concepts are expressed by complex predicates (CPr), consisting of a non-verbal (NV) element and a light verb (LV) (Foli et al 2005, Megerdoomian 2002, Kornfilt 2003), (b) both languages exhibit scrambling, and (c) they both mark direct objects for specificity (Karimi 2005, Enc 1991). However, there are also some impo...

One of Europe’s rarest small mammals — the flying squirrel — has been given a boost to save it from extinction, sparing the Finnish government from legal action by the European Commission. The Finnish government has changed its law to protect the squirrels and paid out one million euros in compensation to about 400 farmers and landowners who have to curb normal activities for the squirrels’ saf...

Squirrel-cage induction motors play an important role in the world’s industry. Hence there is a strong demand on their reliable and safe operation. Their faults and failures can lead to excessive downtimes and generate enormous costs due to reduced output, emergency maintenance and lost revenues. In this paper a FEM model of a three phase squirrel-cage induction machine is presented. It is used...

1.0 Features of Standard AC Motors The squirrel cage induction motor is the electrical motor motor type most widely used in industry. This leading position results mainly from certain excellent features of the squirrel cage motor such as: • Uncomplicated, rugged construction. For the user this means low initial cost and high reliability. • Good efficiency coupled with low maintenance costs resu...

Testability is the probability whether tests will detect a fault, given that a fault in the program exists. How efficiently the faults will be uncovered depends upon the testability of the software. Various researchers have proposed qualitative and quantitative techniques to improve and measure the testability of software. In literature, a plethora of reliability growth models have been used to...

A substantial portion of squirrel cage induction motor faults are stator related. An accurate transient model of squirrel cage induction machines under stator faults is presented here. A coupled magnetic circuits approach is used and very few restrictive assumptions are made. All parameters are calculated from the actual geometry and winding layout of the machines rather than from transformed o...

An account has been given of two experiments in which three monkeys were carried in Jupiter missiles 300 miles inro space. In the first, a squirrel monkey survived in .good .condition till a mishap .occurred to the vehicle on re-entry. In the second, an American-born rhesus and a squirrel monkey were recovered uninjured. Details have been furnished covering the construction of the biocapsules, ...

Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) have a striking color-vision polymorphism; each animal has one of six different types of color vision. These arise from individual variation in the presence of three different middle- to long-wavelength cone pigments. The distribution of cone phenotypes was established for a large sample of squirrel monkeys, including several families, through analysis of a r...

This essay looks at the historical significance of three APS classic papers that are freely available online: Fernández C and Goldberg JM. Physiology of peripheral neurons innervating otolith organs of the squirrel monkey. I. Response to static tilts and to long-duration centrifugal force. J Neurophysiol 39: 970–984, 1976 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/ reprint/39/5/970). Fernández C and Goldber...

Following Swales’s (1981) works on genre analysis, studies on different sections of Research Articles (RAs) in various languages and fields abound; however, only scant attention has been directed toward abstracts written in Persian, and in the field of literature. Moreover, claims made by Lores (2004) regarding the correspondence of two types of abstracts with different models, and by Martin (2...
