writing projects are socially-situated identities. the rhetorically-loaded aspects of writing, like metadiscourse marking, are more prone to carry such identities. through analyzing metadiscourse strategies employment in persian and english (as the lingua franca of academic discourse community) research articles, this study makes an attempt to find out whether persian native writers take on the...

since the late seventies the german literary scene has witnessed a rising presence of german writers of foreign extraction examining their intercultural experiences on pivotal topics like refugees, schism, alienation, identity crises, and social and cultural conflicts. this paper deals with the method of presentation of the conflicts and problems related to culture, society and identity as depi...

we introduce center-like subsets z*(r,f), z**(r,f) and z1(r,f), where r is a ring and f is a map from r to r. for f a derivation or a non-identity epimorphism and r a suitably-chosen prime or semiprime ring, we prove that these sets coincide with the center of r.

The present survey study has been carried out to examine the impact of satellite programs on 300 young  people who were permanently watching them. The authors used the theories of some scientists and sociologists like Klapper, Newman, Robertson, Harvey and Gidnez to clarify the variables. The results show that the more satellite programs will be watching, the religious identity is reduced. So, ...

For positive integers 1 ≤ i ≤ k, we consider the arithmetic properties of quotients of Wronskians in certain normalizations of the Andrews-Gordon q-series ∏ 1≤n6≡0,±i (mod 2k+1) 1 1− qn . This study is motivated by their appearance in conformal field theory, where these series are essentially the irreducible characters of (2, 2k + 1) Virasoro minimal models. We determine the vanishing of such W...

In the AdS/CFT correspondence the boundary Ward identities are encoded in the bulk constraints. We study the three-dimensional version of this result using the Chern-Simons formulation of gravity. Due to the metric boundary conditions the conformal identities cannot be derived in a straightforward way from the chiral ones. We pay special attention to this case and find the necessary modificatio...
