This study was a contrastive analysis of the evolution of English and Persian advertising slogans to investigate their similarities/differences in using rhetorical figures, and the evolution in the use of these figures in the slogans of each language. Thus, 800 Persian and English slogans from the last four decades were collected. Lapsanka's framework (2006) including different aspects with som...

Temporal Logics are a popular formalism for specification of properties in the verification of reactive systems. They can be employed to reason about the behavior of systems with the evolution of time. For example one can specify that an event corresponding to the request of a resource is eventually followed by an event corresponding to its grant. Linear-time Temporal Logic (LTL) is one such fo...

ibuprofen solid dispersions were prepared by the solvent and fusion-solvent methods using polyethylene glycol (peg), polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp), eudragit rs po, eudragit rl po and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (hpmc) as carriers to improve physicochemical characteristics of ibuprofen. the prepared solid dispersions were evaluated for the flowability, solubility characteristics and dissolution be...

the effect of mixing on rheological behavior of 6% wt epoxy-clay nanocomposites was studied. the mixing processes were carried out by low shear mixer, homogenizer and ultrasonic and combination of different mixing techniques at medium and maximum power. all these methods led to intercalated structure. the xrd results showed that the ultrasonic has the best effect on dispersion while a low shear...

In this Article dispersion characteristic of conventional optical waveguide with helical winding at core – cladding interface has been obtained. The model dispersion characteristics of optical waveguide with helical winding at core-cladding interface have been obtained for five different pitch angles. This paper includes dispersion characteristics of optical waveguide with helical winding, and ...
