The present research paper seeks to ascertain whether students respond emotionally literature—as it is argued that the emotions experienced during reading help interpret literary texts. To end, study departs from an investigation of students’ personal responses only determine emotion-based exist in EFL context, thus answering central question guides this work: do affective literature exist? sta...

Nowadays, routing protocols have become a crucial part of the modern communication networks. A routing protocol's responsibility lies in determining the way routers communicate with each other in order to forward any kind of packets, from a source to a destination, using the optimal path that would provide the most efficiency. There are many routing protocols out there today, some old and some ...

This paper is the first in a series presenting findings from a yearlong mixed-methods study of the University of There (UOT), a player-run distributed learning community within the online graphical 3D world There.com. UOT is both a large-scale collaborative project and a learning environment within a virtual world originally designed as a social play space. The study employed in-world participa...

The symmetric maximum, denoted by 6, is an extension of the usual maximum ∨ operation so that 0 is the neutral element, and −x is the symmetric (or inverse) of x, i.e., x6(−x) = 0. However, such an extension does not preserve the associativity of ∨. This fact asks for systematic ways of parenthesing (or bracketing) terms of a sequence (with more than two arguments) when using such an extended m...

In this paper we study the implications of the recent high precision measurement of (g−2)μ by BNL [1] on new heavy physics beyond the SM. The effect of two d=6 operators on the anomalous magnetic momment of the muon is considered and the new physics contribution to aμ reported by BNL has been used to put bounds on the scale associated with these operators.

Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a science and, therefore, involves progressive approaches and outcomes. In this commentary we argue that the spirit and the method of science should be maintained in order to avoid reductionist procedures, stifled innovation, and rote, unresponsive protocols that become increasingly removed from meaningful progress for individuals diagnosed with autism spectru...

The unique challenge presented by the Internet is that compliance with local laws is rarely sufficient to assure a business that it has limited its exposure to legal risk. Since websites are accessible worldwide, the prospect that a website owner might be haled into a courtroom in a faroff jurisdiction is much more than a mere academic exercise, it is a very
