Hafez Shirazi was a distinguished Persian poet. His poetry collection, Divan, is regarded as a literary work of profound significance. Iranians view this collection as something much more than poetry because it is also used for bibliomantic purposes. After studying Hafez in his social context and exploring distinctive qualities of his Divan, particularly its application as a divination tool, th...

The analysis of radio propagation in urban terrains became highly imperative owing to the fact that the environment is composed of different physical obstructions such as high-rise buildings, towers and bill boards situated on a grid-like pattern of streets. Radio propagation characteristics, to a large extent, vary from one type of environment to the other. In this paper, the suitability of th...

We measure the evolution of the galaxy Luminosity Function as a function of large-scale environment up to z = 1.5 from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) first epoch data. The 3D galaxy density field is reconstructed using a gaussian filter of smoothing length 5h Mpc and a sample of 6582 galaxies with 17.5 ≤ IAB ≤ 24 and measured spectroscopic redshifts. We split the sample in four redshift bins ...

This is a work-in-progressproject.The purpose of this research is to help increasing the readers’ level of engagement using a multimedia approach. Previous studies have shown that active reading engage readers to keep reading as an interactiveway of learning. However, reading is a very personal experience for each reader due to readers’ understanding and different points of views. This project ...

In English, Italian La recente introduzione dell'endoscopia tridimensionale nella chirurgia endonasale è stata accolta con favore con l'aspettativa di superare la principale limitazione dell'endoscopia, ovvero la mancanza di visione stereoscopica. Questa innovazione

You have at your desk the issue no. 1/2010 of the journal AUTOMATIKA with which begins my direct responsibility for its future development in the capacity of the Editor-in-chief. I would like to thank the KOREMA presidency for entrusting me with this responsibility. Special thanks to my predecessor Prof. Borivoj Rajković for the enormous effort he invested in regular publishing of the journal a...

‎‎‎In this paper‎, ‎the‎ notion of injectivity with respect to order dense embeddings in ‎‎the category of $S$-posets‎, ‎posets with a monotone action of a‎ pomonoid $S$ on them‎, ‎is studied‎. ‎We give a criterion‎, ‎like the Baer condition for injectivity of modules‎, ‎or Skornjakov criterion for injectivity of $S$-sets‎, ‎for the order dense injectivity‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we consider such injectivit...

We study the effects of laser phase noise on a phase diversity coherent optical frequency domain (C-OFD) technique that has been recently proposed to measure passive devices used in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. Theoretical expressions are provided to calculate the laser phase-noise to intensity-noise conversion in this technique under simplified circumstances. Obtained...
