Audiovisual translation, the same as other forms of intercultural communication, tends to intervene with the original in order to comply with the norms of the receiving culture. Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the Iranian cinema has resorted to a conservative approach wherein the portrayal of the role of women, among other cultural issues, has been controlled to adapt to the Islamic thoug...

The large-system performance of maximum-a-posterior estimation is studied considering a general distortion function when the observation vector is received through a linear system with additive white Gaussian noise. The analysis considers the system matrix to be chosen from a large class of random ensembles. We take a statistical mechanical approach by introducing a spin glass corresponding to ...

In this article, I argue that the dichotomy of virtuous and sinful woman functioned as a strongly censoring factor for nineteenth century women authors in their writing about intimacy, desire, sexuality. This was foundation double standard morality, holding different moral codes men social classes, which norm had to be followed literature well, order gain acceptance authority writer. identify e...

in this paper,~some results on finite dimensional generating spaces of quasi-norm family are established.~the idea of equivalent quasi-norm families is introduced.~riesz lemma is established in this space.~finally,~we re-define b-s fuzzy norm and prove that it induces a generating space of quasi-norm family.

We consider a class of nonlinear Schrödinger / Gross-Pitaveskii (NLS-GP) equations, i.e. NLS with a linear potential. We obtain conditions for a symmetry breaking bifurcation in a symmetric family of states asN , the squared L2 norm (particle number, optical power), is increased. In the special case where the linear potential is a doublewell with well separation L, we estimate Ncr(L), the symme...

PURPOSE To analyze speech expressiveness in a group of executives based on perceptive and acoustic aspects of vocal dynamics. METHODS Four male subjects participated in the research study (S1, S2, S3, and S4). The assessments included the Kingdomality test to obtain the keywords of communicative attitudes; perceptive-auditory assessment to characterize vocal quality and dynamics, performed by...

The singing by songbirds is a most convincing example in the animal kingdom of functional lateralization of the brain, a feature usually associated with human language. Lateralization is expressed as one or both of the bird's sound sources being active during the vocalization. Normal songs require high coordination between the vocal organ and respiratory activity, which is bilaterally symmetric...

Vocal fold injection with botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) may be used as an adjunct treatment for habit cough in children. We conducted a retrospective review of 3 cases involving children aged 11 to 13 years with habit cough treated with vocal fold injection of BTX-A. Injections of BTX-A to the thyroarytenoid muscles were effective in breaking the cough cycle in all 3 children. Their coughs rec...
