a historical novel is a form of story-like narrative which is a combination of story and history. accordingly, we cannot easily comment whether, within this framework, it is the history that isbeing focused on by the author—as all the story’s elements are employed in the service of the historian—or history simplyplays an incidental role at the back stage of the story. the best exampleof the mix...

 Background: We are living in an era in which different branches of science are growing very rapidly. Therefore, retrieving and summarizing all new valid findings on a specific subject is one of the most important priorities of scientists. The aim of the present article is to categorize different review studies within the health domain based on their approach to retrieving and summarizing ...

Background & Objective: Recently medical education has been significantly evolution. One of these evolution has been a progressive reduction in time that medical students to spend in hospitals as well as changes in the profiles of hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to develop the model of outpatient clinical education environment measure in interns of Islamic Azad University, Tehr...

background: reporting quality of research on medical education has come under scrutiny in recent years in wake of empirical evidence. poor reporting quality of published abstracts may distract readers from careful reading of research evidence or in a worst case mislead scientists. main objective of this study was to evaluate the extent and quality of the submitted abstracts to the 3rd and 4th n...

Introduction In contrast to the significant number of studies indicating the impairment of QoL in AR, the degree of impairment in Quality of Life (QoL) in NAR remains underexposed. Again in contrast to AR, almost no evidence-based therapies for NAR patients exist. We assessed QoL in NAR compared to healthy controls and AR patients as positive controls and investigated whether the use of treatme...

This paper explores the patterns of technology use in a global enterprise. We use the concept of narrative networks to understand interactions between technology and organizations and the emergent implications. The paper is based on empirical work undertaken in the context of offshoring electronic medical records and billing systems from a group of US physician practices to service providers in...

BACKGROUND Distributed Research Infrastructures are gaining political traction in Europe to facilitate scientific research. This development has gained particular momentum in the area of biobanking where cross-national attempts have been made toward harmonizing the biobanking standards across the European Union through the establishment of the organization BBMRI (BioBanking and Biomolecular Res...

We have obtained draft genomic sequences of PD (partial denitrificant) and CD (complete denitrificant) strains of Thermus thermophilus. Their genomes are similar in size to that of the aerobic strains sequenced to date and probably contain a similar megaplasmid. In the CD strain, the genes encoding a putative cytochrome cd1 Nir (nitrite reductase) and ancillary proteins were clustered with a cy...

In most Interactive Storytelling systems, user interaction is based on natural language communication with virtual agents, either through isolated utterances or through dialogue. Natural language communication is also an essential element of interactive narratives in which the user is supposed to impersonate one of the story’s characters. Whilst techniques for narrative generation and agent beh...
