English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) are developing branches of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction in Iran. These branches have a marginal status in the tertiary education, and the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology’s high commission offers no clear guidance for selecting and developing basic academic instructional materials related...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is one of the main paradig.ns of particle physics. I will briefly review 1) the general history of SSB, 2) the universal features and descriptions of gap formation and chirM dynamics in the BSC-type mechanisms in condensed matter, nuclear, and particle physics, and 3) some open problems including the mass hierarchy in the Standard Model and beyond.

We present a theoretical method for a direct evaluation of the average and reliability error exponents in low-density parity-check error-correcting codes using methods of statistical physics. Results for the binary symmetric channel (BSC) are presented for codes of both finite and infinite connectivity.

To many in our community the study of nuclear Physics is a mental exercise that strengthens the mind, and helps to accumulate the appropriate number of points for a BSc degree. In reality many of the fundamental concepts of Physics, and nuclear physics in particular, have led to significant improvements in the community. (ref. MRI, CAT, PET, radiation therapy, nuclear power). This paper address...

BACKGROUND The use of chemotherapy has been proposed to increase the effectiveness of best supportive care (BSC) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previous trials reported inconsistent findings regarding the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy on overall survival (OS) and treatment-related mortality. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects o...
