While there has been a plethora of inquiries into reported speech, cross-linguistic analysis the source segments in political news reports is still rarity. This study aims at three-fold investigation: first, tracking frequency, transparency, and types sources; second, identifying strategies employed to introduce these sources text, third, interrogating contextual elements. To this end, bottom-u...

This study presented a framework for uncertainty analysis of the ultimate axial bearing capacity piles evaluated by UniCone method in layered soils. The Eslami and Fellenius (1997) is direct piezocone penetration test (CPTU) evaluating reliability design. spatial variability CPTU data modeled as random field each soil unit strata. empirical correlation coefficients are assumed to follow lognorm...

No treatment has been proven to be effective in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and/or steatohepatitis (NASH). Numerous studies have addressed this issue. However conclusive recommendations cannot be drawn solely from the currently available studies. Hence we performed this systematic review to determine which of the available therapeutic modalities are supported by adequate evidence i...

In last ten years many mathematicians have studied properties of BL-algebras endowed with a topology. For example A. Di Nola and L. Leustean cite{dn} studied compact representations of BL-algebras, L. C. Ciungu cite{ciu} investigated some concepts of convergence in the class of perfect BL-algebras, J. Mi Ko and Y. C. Kim cite{jun} studied relationships between closure operators and BL-algebras,...

Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) is a fundamental tool of cryptography and distributed computing in Internet Things. Since network bandwidth scarce resource, minimizing the number verification data will improve performance VSS. Existing VSS schemes, however, face limitations meeting energy consumptions for low-end devices, which make their adoption challenging resource-limited IoTs. To address a...

In order to communicate accurately and fluently, learners need know how produce different speech acts inside outside the classroom context. Refusal act is complicated, performing refusals successfully needs a higher level of pragmatic competence (Eslami, 2010). This study done in analyze refusal its responses among Iranian EFL learners. The participants this are 120 advanced These provided with...

Strategic planning for information systems remains as one of the top concerns and continues to be a critical issue for many chief information officers and their organisations. Also, a comprehensive review of the recent information systems planning literature reveals that selecting a proper methodology used in developing an information systems plan is one of the success factors related to the su...

Experimental data of the DNA cyclization (J-factor) at short length scales exceed the theoretical expectation based on the wormlike chain (WLC) model by several orders of magnitude. Here, we propose that asymmetric bending rigidity of the double helix in the groove direction can be responsible for extreme bendability of DNA at short length scales and it also facilitates DNA loop formation at th...
