objectives: the purpose of the present study is to investigate the oral narrative skills of late talkers mostly caused by mental disorders while they try to comprehend a wordless sequential picture story to create and narrate the relevant story. methods: to this end, 15 (10 male and 5 female) participants were who were the students of a specialized school for physically and mentally retarded st...

one section of the tarbur formation (462 m thickness) located about 5 km southwest of semirom was studied. it consists of carbonate and terrigenous rocks and contains abundant large benthic foraminifera assigned to the late maastrichtian. in the upper maastrichtian, loftusia is very abundant in carbonate sequence of the middle east tethyan realm. loftusia is an important genus for palaeontologi...

khoy, one of the major cities in the west azarbaijan province is known for its nature, military, border positions, proximity to the silk road, including many different cultures and overall is one of the important settlements in the area. this essay investigates khoy city’s expansion, from early islam until late qajar (fourth - fourteenth century) according to historical documents. this article ...

background: hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) is currently the only curative treatment for acute leukemia. as hsct improves the long-term survival, it is necessary to assess the late-onset complications affecting the quality of life following hsct. subjects and methods: the study included 122 patients (65 male, 57 female) with leukemia (72 aml and 50 all) who received transplants f...

late neoproterozoic-early cambrian schists have been occurred in southwest of zanjan city from the soltanieh belt. the soltanieh belt in northwest of iran is uplifted basement of precambrian-paleozoic in main central iran zone and includes outcrops of precambrian, paleozoic and mesozoic formations. late neoproterozoic-early cambrian schists, the oldest stratigraphy unit in the region, consist o...

an abrupt global warming event has been recorded in many parts of the world in sediments of latest maastrichtian age between 65.45-65.10 ma. this warm event was documented here at a section near ziyarat-kola in central alborz based on analysis of planktonic foraminifera. an unusual abundance of normally large-size species such as globotruncana arca, globigerinelloides subcarinatus, pseudoguembe...

On the semantics of determiners in a rich type-theoretical framework The variation of word meaning according to the context led us to enrich the type system of our syntactical and semantic analyser of French based on categorial grammars and Montague semantics (or lambda-DRT). The main advantage of a deep semantic analyse is too represent meaning by logical formulae that can be easily used e.g. ...

This paper presents a tutoring system aimed at teaching how to compile Java into the language of the Java Virtual Machine, and, at the same time, promotes a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of object-oriented programming. The interaction with the systems takes the form of a 3D videogame where the student must compete to provide the right machine instructions, collect resources ...

Let k be a field, Ln = k[x ±1 1 , . . . , x ±1 n ] be the Laurent polynomial ring in n variables and G be a group of k-algebra automorphisms of Ln. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the ring of invariants Ln to have a SAGBI basis. We show that if this condition is satisfied then Ln has a SAGBI basis relative to any choice of coordinates in Ln and any term order.

Assume Xn is a random sample of n uniform, independent points from a triangle T . The longest convex chain, Y , of Xn is defined naturally (see the next paragraph). The length |Y | of Y is a random variable, denoted by Ln. In this paper we determine the order of magnitude of the expectation of Ln. We show further that Ln is highly concentrated around its mean, and that the longest convex chains...
