Advertisement has long been used as a tool for informing and attracting audiences in different ways. This study aims at investigating the linguistic tools of advertisement in Persian on the basis of Halliday’s systemic-functional grammar theory. The data of this study were gathered from written and verbal commercial advertisements which were recorded and rewritten in order to investigate verbal...

The lack of a large annotated systemic functional grammar (SFG) corpus has posed a significant challenge for the development of the theory. Automating SFG annotation is challenging because the theory uses a minimal constituency model, allocating as much of the work as possible to a set of hierarchically organised features. In this paper we show that despite the unorthodox organisation of SFG, a...

electrode potential of 2-(2,3-dihydroxy phenyl)-1,3-dithiane (dpd) was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry (cv) at various potential scan rates. the calculated value was compared with the experimental value obtained by cyclic voltammetry (cv). all experiments were done in aqueous phosphate buffer solutions at different phs. the experimental redox potential of dpd was obtained to be 0.75...

ethno-musicology is an academic field encompassing various approaches to the study of music that emphasize its cultural, social, material, cognitive, biological, and other dimensions or contexts instead of its isolated ‘sound’ component or any particular repertoire. the term ‘ethno-musicology’ became common in1950, although the emergence of the field can be traced back to the late nineteenth ce...

dft calculations were applied to evaluate the electronic and magnetic properties of zigzag bc2nnanotubes based on the 13c, 15n, and 11b nmr parameters and natural charge analysis. weconsidered three types of zigzag nanotubes, zz-1, zz-2, and zz-3 (n, 0) with n = 8, 12, and 14. theobtained results indicated the divisions of the electrostatic environments around c nuclei into a fewlayers, consist...

in this research, structural and electronic properties of zncdn-1ten clusters (n=1-10) have been studied by formalism of density functional theory and using the projector augmented wave within local density approximation. the structural properties (such as bond length/angle and coordination number), electronic and optical properties (such as binding energy, kohn-sham spectrum and partial charge...

in this work, we report results of calculations based on the density functional theory of different species metal-ozone, containing mercury, silver and gold. the chosen species range from small molecules and large transition-metal containing ozone with mercury, silver and gold complexes. a comparative analysis of the description of the metal-oxygen bond obtained by different methodologies is pr...

objective(s): first principles calculations were performed to study four multiple sclerosis drugs namely, ampyra, fingolimod, mitoxantrone and eliprodil in gas and liquid phases using density functional theory (dft). computational chemistry simulations were carried out to compare calculated quantum chemical parameters for ampyra, fingolimod, mitoxantrone and eliprodil. materials and methods: al...

one main group of organic chemistry is related to the aromatic compounds. in the present work, we replaced the ch group of benzene by silicon and nitrogen analogues. then, density functional theory (dft) calculations were carried out for six-membered heterocyclic si-n aromatic rings. full geometry optimizations were performed in gas-phase, and at b3lyp level using 6-311++g(d,p) and cbsb7 basis ...
