form-centered reading is a trend which has existed among muslim critics long ago and been reflected further as “formalist” in modern era. such type of view about a textinvestigates it as a linguistic innovation. from formalists' point of view, a literary text contains a fundamental elementcalled text literature which a literate can achieve it through different mechanisms which itself gives...

Introduction: The use of long-half-life Cobalt source instead of iridium source will be very helpful in HDR brachytherapy for treatment of cervical cancer. The aim of this study was compared the treatment time with cobalt and iridium source in brachytherapy for treatment of cervical cancer using Tandem-ovoid applicator. Materials and Methods: In this study, 19...

Bird strikes present a huge risk for aircraft, especially since traditional airport bird surveillance is mainly dependent on inefficient human observation. Computer vision based technology has been proposed to automatically detect birds, determine bird flying trajectories, and predict aircraft takeoff delays. However, the characteristics of bird flight using imagery and the performance of exist...

This study analyzed subtle and blatant prejudice toward Chinese people expressed by 276 Italian adolescents and young adults, with and without friends from other ethnic groups. Italian version of Subtle and Blatant Prejudice Scale referred to Chinese people (Pettigrew & Meertens, 1995; Manganelli Rattazzi & Volpato, 2001) and three Semantic Differentials (Falanga et al., 2010) to analyze the re...

The duality in the Chalker-Coddington network model is examined. We are able to write down a duality relation for the edge state transmission coefficient, but only for a specific symmetric Hall geometry. Looking for broader implication of the duality, we calculate the transmission coefficient T in terms of the conductivity σxx and σxy in the diffusive limit. The edge state scattering problem is...
